Nikola Tesla was the most important inventors and geniuses of 20th century and the inventor of the Tesla coil. I want to tribute this scene to him and all the work that he done for us.
I like to put little details in my works to really make them tell a story. It´s hard to make a interesting looking scene when the subject is Nikola Tesla and his inventions. There is still something mysterious about his innovations and concepts like "infinite energy" and my favorite "wireless energy".
The art style is similar like Bioshock Infinite has but I´m not trying to make it precisely like it.
This is my second big project with UDK but I´m learning fast. First I tried to do this with Unity 3D but soon realize that it´s not the best way to do it.

Beside that, I'm really impressed by this, I like the way it turned out. Good work!
I'd expect the light from one set of windows to be much brighter than from the other; as it stands, the sun appears to be streaming from two directions.
In a similar vein, the wall facing directly away from the sun should be deeper in the shadows, if only in contrast to the brightness of the sunlight.
The first thing that caught my eye was the 2 chairs for some reason. It just looks really odd, I think one chair would work much better.
Second thing is that it just looks so empty, especially for an inventors office! I want to see clutter, weird discarded contraptions, schematics strewn across the desks, stacks of books, things that look like they are still being worked on. As it stands it doesn't look like any kind of serious work is really going on in this room, let alone inventing.
Third thing is the barrels just look totally out of place. Barrels are something I associate with liquids and foods. I definitely can't imagine "electrical components" coming in barrels, they just look weird in the scene.
"It´s hard to make a interesting looking scene when the subject is Nikola Tesla and his inventions." - I don't agree with this at all! It would be hard to make an interesting scene if the subject was an accountant not when it's one of the most innovative, experimental people of recent history and from such an aesthetically iconic era to boot.
Edit: I hope this doesn't seem too harsh. As I said I think the assets are good technically, the design of the scene just needs more thinking about. I think it could look really great!
That being said, this is still really cool. Keep up the good work!
