[CE] italian scene

currve

Hey Polys,

after some thought, I post my progress on my italyproject to get the widest possible feedback.

The idea is to create an small italian village or street scene and to become a better understanding how the CryEngine, Maya and Quixel Suite (PBR/ PBS) works.

I have already learned so much and I'm making good progress.
However, what I lack is criticism of any kind, so it does not matter as long as it is constructive .

As a concept, I took that:


This is my progress so far :







Some render of some of my props:













a concept from wikipedia for the italian cypress tree:



Thank you for reading it! cheers , currve

short update for my scene. I can show some new assets in the CryENGINE or as render in 3DO:

I hope you guys like it and for every critic I'm very grateful!

Looks great! Would like to see a bit more wear and tear on the assets though as the look too clean.

I'll work on them again. I hope Quixel releases their new 1.9 suite soon.. I'm really curious ^^ I wanna test it with my assets

loggie24

They are probably going to make an announcement, say soon and we will have to wait another 3 months :poly122:

Here's a quick update I made last evening while I'd tested the new Quixel suite 1.8 update. A change on the gloss/spec maps for the couch and a render for my gutter asset:

Added some nature to see what fits and what not.. later I'll add more buildings to create a nice variation for the scene..



TOD tweaking:



Environment probe testing:



And as always, any kind of crits are very welcome!

very short crit: too desaturated

Thank you, I'll work on the TOD/ probes again

Yes, a bit pale, but ooh gorgeous ... nice work mate.

Looking good. Excited to see more!

Thanks guys! I've a few updates for the TOD/ Lighting and Vegetation for the surrounding area. I would be grateful for any crits

4k shots from the editor:

The vegetation's looking really great! My only crit would be the tree trunk looks a little odd. I think the two main branches are too thick. It makes it feel very disconnected from the rest of the branches.

Can't wait to see it implemented around the house. Awesome work.

Wow! That looks so great! Keep up the good work mate .
Must be quite some experience to get something that good looking form the CryEngine ( not that it couldn't deliver I mean it's just some learning curve to be mastered to get this).

currve

Thanks alot guys! Yeah, I'm learning so much while creating the scene, its huge and quite love to work on it, to create the things and to see when thoughts become reality. So, the lighting and TOD is well thought out, but yet not final.. I'm just too self-critical ^^

The lighting is very modular due to clouds and shadows, rain and fog, so it may differ to each screenshot

currently I'm working on the places around the house like fences, vegetation integration, stonepath. (..)

The house looks really nice! Also digging the cypress tree a lot. (:

Thanks at all for the feedback!

Here I can show some new shots from my new rock mesh from 3DO and from the Editor. I tried to capture the rocks in italy (thanks to 'themodman101' from the cryengine forums):





tools zbrush, maya, ddo
high poly 2 mil. polys
low poly 5k polys

DDO renders (5k polys +object space normal map):







editor:









I'd like to say thank you to all the guys looking at my thread and the feedback I get here. That increases my skill level a lot.

because of that, here's short overview of my material for the rock above:

Update 04/27

I was working on my italian scene again to finish it someday. Some meshes are from the current eaas package. All materials made with the quixel suite. For critics and comments I would be very grateful
