@guategeek: thanks man that throne is still a super placeholder so dw. If you flick back to the first page you can see the direction im going with it. Havnt been back to model more on it since then tho.
@pixelpatron: cheers dude i need to stick a dude in there asap to make sure everything is correct scale. I always leave this to late but ill get on it before the next update.
heres a wall section. The pillars will sit inbetween these.
@guategeek: thanks man im glad you like it. I thought of doing this before but felt it was a tad egotistical doing a recording of my own process, like, who would watch it lol! but if you think it would help you in anyway i could maybe do it when i get on with the pillars. Do u know of a particularly good free programme i could use?
Things left to do:
pillars
roof
stairs
chair
Refine space outside
flags have weird lighting problems, fix those. maybe add more polys for nvidia physx cloth.
TEXTURE EVERYTHING.
starting to worry i wont finish this. Why do we have to work..... it takes up so much time =( dont know if anyone else is feeling the same way.

I feel the exact same way. I am running home from work, eating dinner, and sitting down for a minute, then im like NO! it's 9pm already!
The good news is you are pretty far along! The scene is looking really great. You can def finish. Art is never done, but you will have a nice scene for sure.
noscope , man I am wondering about how clean and nice your work is, amazing. please make that video , keen on learning, and yes, if you mean wish would not go to work and just spend time in Polycount I agree then , LoL , cheers \m/
You are at a good place man, I'm sure you can finish it and have a kickass scene on time
Really cool entry so far, I dig it! One minor crit is that the floor looks too detailed, you would expect an emperor to walk on red carpet on not on pipes

Haha I think there's a lot of that floating around XD, get home, sit down TIME FOR BED.
Just gota finish the stairs and bake the throne then it's optimise and texture time. Can't wait to try substance.
I did try to record my progress on the pillars but I get so paranoid that I work in some crazy backwards way. Sorry to disappoint anyone. Maybe when I am more confident.
holy shit...dude, that's some badass entry you have really. My only critic would be that you have too many pipes on your designs, like the ceiling piece could be a piece on it's own Imo.
Wow, just wow. I really want to see how those flag will fit in the scene. You have a strong atmosphere and your model are perfect. I can't wait to see the final shot, this is almost my favorite
@orb: thanks! I get the same feels as you though. Think I'm going to remove it from running up the sides of the stairs and have them completely pipe less. That may tone it down a little. Pipes were a main theme idea for the room but I get what u mean about overdooing it.
I really enjoy how these materials, pipes...metal stuff looks like...but I see a design problem here. It does not seem like a throne room of a galaxy emperor...it looks more like an engine room of some space industrial facility...otherwise the visual is stunning
Bam! Evil emperor of the Andromeda galaxy it is I suppose!
All textures made using substance designer except the stuff outside and the flags.
Thinking I should add more reflections. Not sure yet though.
Still needs to be made checklist:
Stairs
Standing Banners
Some volumetric light shaft thingies for the spot lights aimed at the walls.
Texture the throne
Camera moves for video
Lens flares
Post process stuff
Amazing hardsurface modelling ! The scene composition is also quite impressive. I only think the outside view is a little too over the top though. In your last screenshots it felt overladen imho. I think the vast windows should be used as a way to counterbalance the complexity of the rest of the scene.
Finals. I decided to leave it here as I began adding things for the hell of it and wasnt sure if I was doing more harm than good. Anyways these are my final submissions.
@warrenm Dude that would be awesome I managed to submit them minus one image that I cant get to work. can I forward you an email with the images in then get you to send me the links once hosted? If thats ok.
@aceye: its ok dude if u cant see it means some others may have the same problem. I should probs fix it.

Would love to see a screen recording of your process, if you were up to that when you make your next asset.

Yeah, soften it up a little with a few flags/banners with a nice color pop and wow.
@WarrenM: Thats exactly the plan. Just need to spend enough time learning substance.
Here's the throne high poly. I don't really have enough time to push it further than this. So im gona bake it and leave it there.

Anyways here are the 3 shots I like the most.
Keep it up!
@WarrenM yeah its all in UE4.
@ACeye: cheers! just waiting for you guys to blow my socks off!
@syros cheers dude.
@Orango: yeah i agree with you. i need to find a way to balance the two so it dosnt over power the scene.
Very nice work!
If someone could please re upload them somewhere else and post them it would be awesome!
@aceye: its ok dude if u cant see it means some others may have the same problem. I should probs fix it.
I had a stressful but fun time with this! I feel like I improved 10x over in just the space of this competition.
