VG Remix - Left 4 Dead

breakneck

All I can think about is a sweet L4D take on low poly. woot woot!

I already can see it getting out of control if I do a crowd of zombies type scene. So I'm thinking something a little more focused.
Don't have a solid plan just yet. Time to play some L4D and get inspired!

Grindy

Perhaps you could try a tense atmosphere with the team moving around a witch, or more of an action piece with a Tank crashing through a wall with the survivors running in the streets in front of the hospital.

I'd so do a Smoker holding Louis over a hole or something like that if I was on that project!

Looking forward to see what you come up with!

Best of luck, I'm a big fan of the game and very excited to see what you come up with.

Not to sway your opinion, but, this:

alright, so I've nailed down what I want to do.
The plan is to recreate the section from L4D 1 where you come out of the sewer and into the hospital. I want to capture the scene as the survivors just about the climb the ladder out of the sewer and onto the street - filled with zombies of course. i also want to put some special zombies in some key areas.

lets see if this works(current progress, massout of envrionment):

. . . still need to figure out embedding of sketchfab. I'll get to that later.

Hey man was hoping to do a L4D one myself, really nice blockout ya got there

LANKUS MAXIMUS

Loving the block out already. You can tell its left for dead as soon as you see it.

I'm going to be focusing on a similar scale for my contest entry.

All the best with it dude. I look forward to seeing it develop.

updates. starting to block in textures and getting some stuff on grid.

Same feedback for you that I gave to LaurenBam's Chivalry diorama (here): Your composition only works from one side of the diorama. To fully utilize the fact that people can interact with your model I suggest building a composition that works from all angles.

Adam: you make a good point. I am going to rethink my piece. I think I'm going to downsize the project by quite a bit.

breakneck

so here is some updates. I've changed the layout to include the interior and much less of the exterior.

I'm a bit sad to see you've dropped the sewer. I can't disagree with what Adam said, but I really liked how the difference between the underground layer and the presumably eventually zombie-filled upper layer created a kind of tension and progress of time that's hard to pull off in a diorama.

breakneck

Zwebbie,
I completely agree. I took it out because I am afraid I won't be able to finish. But it was such an important part, I miss it as well. I think I'll probably add it back in

breakneck

blocked out a handful of textures. also added back the sewer section
