Hi Guys
Ive been working on this scene in my spare time for the past couple of months and Im at a stage where I feel Ive pushed it as far as I can so I thought it would be a good idea to post it here and get some feedback!
For the theme I wanted to create a desert landscape with some sort of mining facility. This had to include huge towers / refinery structures built into craters to mine / collect / refine some sort of mineral deposit. I really wanted to focus more on the big picture here and not get to carried away with the fine details (although in the end I think I probably did go overboard in many places
![:) :)](https://polycount.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png)
).
From a learning standpoint I wanted to tackle a big exterior, that would include some sort of landscape vista, I also wanted to go full PBR (with the new 3.6 version of CryEngine) and exclusively (more or less) use Quixels new suite to handle the materials.
Anyway here are a few shots of what I came up with, let me know what you think, I put a lot of effort into this and while Im kinda done with it for now, thats not to say I wont go back at some point to make some improvements. Thanks for taking the time to look at my thread! Enjoy!!

Imma suggest this for CryDev news. Good job man.
Adding a bit of yellow to the fog might help give a scorched feel to the background.
,Thanks for a really good inspiration
Keep it up!
I do agree with some of the comments talking about the sandblast and sun... maybe some more rust here and there!
Congratz for the work Stephens
@SaboR1996 - Thanks man, most of the panels are modular with decals etc to break them up and make them appear a bit more unique.
@Brygelsmack - Thanks, you may be right about the red but that was kinda the idea I had stuck in my head from the start, I wanted a really functional industrial feel for this and it just made sense to have all the panels the same color. Maybe I'll try out some alternate color schemes eventually
@DWalker - Good call man, thats definitely something I'll add if I decide to work on this some more.
@shubham kumar - Im not sure about correct way but its one way!
@Deathstick - Thanks man, I work at Crytek and had zero experience with their engine when I joined
@_Kratos_ - Thanks man! Yeah more rust would be cool, maybe I could just throw on some decals for this, but I need to start something new been looking at this for what seems like forever!
Keep it up.
I personally find the colourscheme fitting. Very industrial id say. I can imagine it being constructed modularily off-world or something and then hauled in and put together,
Is there some kind of displacement or parallax in the textures ? Some of them looks like they have a subtle self-shadowing going on. Or are they all actual geometry ?
Anyway. It looks ass kicking so far. Can't wait to see more of this.
@JohnnyRaptor - Thats exactly what I had in mind
@Cactus on Fire - Thanks man glad you like it! I actually didnt use that much parallax mapping TBH, most of the main panels on the building are modelled. I did use POM for the floor panels though, in fact the mid and center floor panels are pretty much just a flat planes
