VG Remix - Machinarium

AimBiZ

One of my favorite games from an artistic point of view, also I've always been curious of how/if it would work in 3D.

I've decided to replicate this environment and have a bunch of things happening in it. Currently blocking out the scene.


So far I only have some characters to show.

Maaaaaan this looks awesome so far! You really nailed those characters. Can't wait to see the environment.

JurassicPerk

I loved the art of machinarium and you are really doing a great job in portraying it

Illusive

this is looking great! nice work on those characters

LuCh!

damn, they're looking good, they seem to work very well in 3D!
can't wait for some environment pieces!

AsterixTheGaul7

Awesome, one of my favourite games. I was considering doing it for the challenge, Im glad someone is. Its looking great

mospheric

The characters are looking great! They match the style and tone set by the game

AimBiZ

Glad you like them people!

Been busy churning out the environment. Messy as hell right now but the shapes are coming together. Must admit it's been trickier than expected since the perspective is so skewed in the original making it a bit difficult to fit things together.
A rather big concern is the polycount. The scene is so immensely detailed. I'm hoping to replace some of floating geo (windows and other loose panels) with textures.

For Sketchfab goodness, check first post!

The characters look great. I think you could've been a bit more liberal in applying darker colours and pure black, since the game seems to do so.

What bothers me is the shape of the environment. It really only works as a composition from one angle, which is the same one that is used in the original game; you've modeled it in 3D, but it's a 2D composition.

L3XICON

hey you have really nailed the vibe of the 2d characters in 3d great work. definitely watching out for this one.

The only thing I fear is that the characters might get lost in such a large environment!

haZe

The characters are spot on! Watching this thread closely.

Make sure you get the hanging lights in there! I believe it will push the depth a bit more in the larger area of the scene.

AimBiZ

@Zwebbie: You're right. New composition on its way. The characters will definitely get a second pass later on once everything else is in.

@L3XICON: Indeed. I've scaled up the characters.

@haZe: Thanks, had almost forgot about the lights.

So while starting to get some props textured I redid the composition but still with reference to the original scenes. I'm liking this a lot more although there's some empty space to be filled. Right now I'm referencing two scenes from the original so perhaps I can put in a third one for the empty area.

Check first post for sketchfab.

New diorama layout definitely looks better

stre3t

My favorite game too , nice work!

Fenyce

Awesome diorama blockout!
Well done.

I'm looking forward to see this finished! Curios how it will turn out textured!

JurassicPerk

I like a lot the new blockout! My only suggestion is to do something about the bottom part, it would be a pity to leave it like that

AimBiZ

By bottom part do you mean the base? I'll fill it in. While you mention it maybe I could add some interest there as well, maybe round it off and have stuff sticking out as if it has been dug out of the rest of the city structure.

AimBiZ

So I felt the new composition could be taken even further. Although I like the new version the most I don't think I'll have time to finish it. What I could do is cut most of it and make something simple, on the other hand I'm getting other ideas.

Anyway, here's the current state of it so far. As usual, sketchfab on first post.

JurassicPerk

I like what you did with the bottom part now The scale of the diorama has increased but I hope you will be able to deal with the amount of work, because this is very very promising

D4V1DC

loving this can't wait to see the final, they are so cute.

mafubash

This is wicked! I am looking forward to seeing this done! good luck!

LANKUS MAXIMUS

This is definitely my favourite. Just awesome

AimBiZ

Did some posing of the characters. Some texture tweaks. Looking at it now I feel some parts are missing highlights.

jeebs

after looking at your amazing work, I really want to play this game

Fenyce

A gradiant would help those characters pop out I think. Especially those guys on the left hand site of the last picture you posted. They could use some highlight on their heads, like from the sun shining down on that metal they are made of.

minorthreat

woah, this has to be my new favorite entry XD

Daniel Duy

Absolutely beautiful. I don't think any one can do better. Can't wait for your final submission.
