[UE4] Asteroid Mining Facility

Hello. I stumbled upon this concept on the web, and though it would be cool to create something similar in 3d.

Original concept by Gabriel Björk Stiernström

I got excited about the planet in the background and tried to tackle it first. Then I realized it would be good idea to add at least some rough block-out.



Despite my efforts the planet is still far from looking how I want it. Especially cloud map is unsatisfying. Also I'm excited to make some rocks!

Looks like a solid start to me. You've captured the composition of the scene well, but I feel it lacks the sense of scale that the concept has. Hopefully that should start to come through once you've added in more detailing to the foreground.

I think it would also benefit from moving the light source a bit more around to the front of the shot, so that you are facing more towards it.
A: So that it matches the concept closer and B: because planets usually look at their most majestic when the light is hitting them at a glancing angle and diffracting through the atmosphere.

Should help your planet look less flat and a bit more interesting.

Looking forward to seeing where you go with it though!
