Splash Damage Art Test for some fun

Benjam

Hey fellow polycounters its been a while since I adventured into a new project. I am using 3DS Max this time round instead of Maya and am intending to do some cool things with the Material Editor inside of UDK

Anyway here are my WIP pics, Nothing is textured/lightmapped etc. yet. I am just putting the scene together to get a feel of where i want stuff, how it will look etc.

What do you think?

The concept art:


My WIP:








What do you guys think about where i am going with this? :poly121:

Hey guys. Since getting a proper real job haven't really had much time to update this. BUT i have got some updates going now.

The aim for this project was to get used to using materials and getting decent with instancing mostly. The majority of textures shown have been instanced from one master material. The main metal thing is a placeholder texture at the minute and a lot of other textures either haven't been applied yet or are just wrong!

Anyway here is the update

PhoenixWolf

it would be helpful if you displayed texture sheets. another thing is i remember the test stating it would like to see the old mixed with the new and your geo shows that but the textures don't, well as far as the big metal thing i think you should give that more character in the texture and showcase it as its a some what new architectural element

The initial mesh work presented in UDK is solid.

However, the update with the tiling metal is something that would be used on a detail level (close up). Get soem real details for this huge main piece. A normal tile with a few extra edges can go a long way.

Also be aware that the original concept is a giant toilet.

Hey mate

As I said at work today, it's a nice solid start, I very much agree with @cholden

Anyways I've created you a feedback image, hope you find it useful mate, any questions, feel free to let me know:

So I FINALLY got round to picking this project up again. As requested I have uploaded images of some of the tiling textures I used and a picture of the master material network. I also made a start on the main object texture, although I am finding it a bit difficult to come up with anything solid for it at the moment but I have included an image with my aims for it:

Texture map examples:
The aim of this project was to get as much as possible out of as little and as simple textures as possible. There are a couple of individual texture maps for practice etc. But it is mostly tileable textures -







The idea behind the main piece is to have holographic advertising all over it with some bloom etc. going on like you would see in futuristic movies and such. I have pulled a couple of images from the net to illustrate my thinking:

Long time no post:

Making some progress on the scene now, I have added a few extra details to give the scene a little bit more life although the ground i feel needs something extra as I feel its a bit lifeless at the moment.

I have made a small start on the lighting as well. It's all still WIP mind

But anyway here is the latest update

Benjam

Hey Polycounters,

So after long months of going back and forth its finally finished!! check it out, leave some feedback

looks nice! i think if you add a vertex blend to your brick and the main metal part it could take this a bit further. check this out http://eat3d.com/free/vertex_painting
