Sci Fi Hangar Bar - WIP

authentic

Hello all,

I am working on a sci-fi enviro for an upcoming game I am working on. Ive hit some walls with the design and was hoping for some feedback, suggestions and ideas. I'm posing a series of images that shows the progress over the last week or so. I'm kind of happy with the overall shape and look of the room, but now that I am roughing in colors I think its starting to look like a 1980's design rather than 2014 design. Any feedback, comments and suggestions are very much welcome.

On a technical note, I am using MayaLT for modeling, UV, baking etc while previewing with Marmoset as I am using PBR textures. The earlier non textured images were rendered in 3DS Max using shades of grey to preview the design.

My Color Pallet is as follows...
ff8a00, b3b3b3, 757575, ffc600, 008bae, 61bbd1, 333333

Thanks in advance.

Hrm, I linked em all from my twitter posts. Ill upload all the others from now on via Polycount. My twitter account is @paulkind3D. Im sorry for the difficulty. Ill also re-upload them.

These are the greyscale initial model images.

More image uploads as the original post apparently clipped my images.

I see I noticed when you upload them from such sites even Facebook. Chrome blocks them or doesn't show them, guess they must have twitter accounts as I do not.

Here is the ceiling taking some shape. Still not very happy with the look of this scene. I feel like ive seen too much refference at this point and its becoming a hodgepodge of styles and has no solidity =(

Trying to be creative can be so tough! :poly105:

I've found that when people pick a decade as a style then the style they associate with that period is usually the latter half of that decade and early into the next. For 80s, we end up with 86-91


In my mind, I see lots of creams, browns and oranges.


I'd check out some sets from movies from late 70s and early 80s too, like Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers.

Google for sets from Blakes 7, late 70s to early 80s.


For an alternative point of view, check out the work of Chris Foss.

Also, I love this site: http://uzicopter.tumblr.com/

Hey Rick, Sorry I was away and missed the post. Really nice reference ideas. Ill check them out asap. Over the weekend I made (what I believe) to be some decent progress. Check it out. As usual, comments, suggestions and ideas are very welcomed. I feel ive somewhat overcome the "era" problem, now im battling with scale. The room is starting to feel very smallish. If you look at the doorway built into the pillar, you can see the size approximation of a human (standard door size). I need to throw some people into the scene. Maybe that would help me a bit.

Your work looks good so far. Just a thought, alot of us (especially me) are lazy bastards when it comes to browsing the forums as, well there's so much work and images from different people to browse through so the faster and easier it is to view your work the better.

You'll probably increase your chances of people commenting and critiquing if you post higher res images that are not using the polycount attached thumbnails as we have to click through each one.

IE upload to imgur.com (it's fast and free), copy the direct link of the image, and paste in your post using "" without the quotes.

That said, best of luck!

Will do.
Ive been hammering away at this, so, ill post some pics tomorrow using your described method.

Thanks
