Hi Polycount!

We're a bit late to posting, but really excited to be participating in this contest. This is a team collaboration between myself and my sister, WildFire1187.

I'll be handling the environment part, while WildFire is going to be taking care of our characters.

Summary: A thief wanting to make more than just a little pocket change infiltrates a powerful wizards tower and attempts to steal a magical artifact from him. In his anger at catching her, he launches an attack at which she must escape from. But did she get 'her' artifact...?


(Concept Art: coming soon)

So, once we had the general idea in mind, I started blocking out my environment pieces...

The walls are modular, rather than one long solid piece - the tower is actually in two pieces, with the main part separated from the roof.

The planned shots for the contest are one of an overall shot of the scene; then two closer up - One from the thief's view as she is trying to get away, and the other from the wizard while attacking / chasing.

More to come!

    MLewallen's Progress update!

    So, assets (untextured) are in UDK, and terrain is sculpted...I played with a few angles for the beauty shots I wanted for the final result to see how the angle will look and such.

    View from the wall. I know I want a view as a lead in, and then a few close ups. The other lead up / pan shot is...

    And the close up shots...

    Environment Update!

    Things are hitting crunch time, so placing and texturing the area is go-go-go!

    Anyway, here's some screenshots to take a peek at:

    So, there's the Grand Hall (maya Render). And here's it in the UDK engine (untextured, so sorry for the glow.)
