Hey Guys

As my hard copy of designs are well in good but I need your continuous critique and feedback for this dissertation project and many other projects to come.

I'm pretty much all rounder artist, but been trying to focus on a particular discipline. Tried a vehicle. Organic stuff like characters I think I'm better at but there is always room for improvement. Environment is totally new for me which begs the question why I'm doing it for my thesis. This project was thought up in early 2012; ideas have been pushed around leading to me where I am now.
Always try new things.

I am creating a damaged art deco environment; in this case an office like era.

There are around 14 sections (seperatly built); from which will be blocked out low poly (furniture, vegetation & destructive elements). then only a selected number of assets will under go high sculpt and retop. Everything is intended to go to UDK in the end...hopefully

The original master file from where everything will be connected.

Some simple blocking out has started, one segment at a time. Some of the faces that the player won't see (won't notice) are deleted.

Corridor (Starting Area)

Dreadmrben

A corridor like segment. Vegetation takes up most of the space in this area.

The toilet area

The one area (female toilets) is blocked off with a structural beam and vines blocking the way for the player.

Its been awhile since my last post but nonetheless work as moved to other aspects in my final year project. The entire work previously have been ditched as to the entire level that was originally planned would take too long and therefore had to choose a much smaller section but with loads of detail (lots of assets). A much updated blog. http://dreadmrben.wordpress.com/category/general-blog/

From the 11 or so rooms that was to be built has been shrunken down to 3. The main office/conference room and the corridor that attaches to both. The long and boring task to retop and unwrap over 50 unique assets has been done.

With a large collection of textures which will make up most of the maps (diffuse/spec/normal) before heading into UDK.
