Destroyed Stairs (WIP)

dmihalatos3d

Hey guys! Here is my first polycount post! It definitely needs some work so give me some critique.

I’m still new to the whole video game art. Professionally all my life I’ve been working in the CAD/Fabrication industry. Boring…Yes I know. I always wanted to get into game art, and so with whatever time I have after work I learned 3ds max. I still have a lot to learn. Lately, I’ve been fascinated with ZBrush with capabilities to add in details etc. I’m a complete newb in ZBrush.

Here it is....

The broken corner seems melted rather than worn or damaged - the edges are very smooth, and there's no real indication of what caused the damage.

The sharp corners at the base of each stair would tend to accumulate dirt and grime, especially adjacent to each wall. Small piles of leaves or trash could also be found there.

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to improve it. You're absolutely right about the dirt and grime plus a little garbage will help improve it as well.

Very cool stairs. I'm learning too and besides what DWalker comments, your model looks very functional(I'm not sure if that word exists in English, it should mean something along the lines of "viable" "usable").

i watched the video on youtube eariler with this in it as im trying to improve to. but its always polite to give credit to the source

You're absolutely right. I saw the 3d motive video on youtube but it still doesn't change the fact that I had build this object from scratch and that wasn't in the tutorial. The tutorial showed on how to sculpt and nothing more. Furthermore, this was a test for me to get a zbrush workflow in my pipeline.


This was created in 3ds max, zbrush, 3dcoat, xnormal, photoshop, then marmoset toolbag.

A lot of those programs were NOT in the video. Just to clear it up.

Nice model so far,but I think it's not so "destroyed" as you want,more dirt maps could help.

yer i didnt think you used the mesh in the video (little changes) didnt mean to imply that you stole it or anything lol

i think its good and i like the texture but as was said before the broken bits could use a but more work as its all to smooth and clean cut
