Mighty Mick's Boxing! - Unreal Scene based on the Rocky Franchise

MajorMadness

AAAAADRIAAAN!!!

Had to say it ^^ I have started work on a new Unreal scene after completing 3 years at the University of Derby studying Computer games modelling and animation (great course But due to skipping between both environment and character work my portfolio is lacking a scene. So what better idea than go for a movie scene.

This thread will show the development of Mighty Mick's Boxing Gym from the Rocky Films. The reason I have chosen this is because it is an interior that is interesting and can be quite messy! which is a great way of breaking up the environment! The main reason for this thread is so that I can get feedback as I go along and improve my art ^^

So now I have that out of the way here is the first prop!

This is one of the possible three punching bags that will be done!
Yes at the moment it seems to be never punched but I will use the Roughness map and Normal to give it the effect that the leather has been worn away.

It was from this that I then realised the level itself should come first, but I couldn't resist ^^ So the next post should show a level plan made in Photoshop!

As promised here is a level layout for the scene. after going through all 6 films and gathering photo reference I have managed to get an accurate plan of the layout. A few assets are missing from the chart but these are the key features that layout the scene.

The next step will be to block this all out in Unreal

Pssst, the last item on that key is a dome ceiling light

Don't forget to make the heavy bag's chain worn too And you know, a little easter egg of an Apollo Creed action figure never hurts

Started to block out the level in unreal. Spent some time making the lighting work. There is just one dominant directional light in the scene but I have raised the amount of bounce passes the light build makes. Although this raises the build time a little it fills the room quite nicely with light.

Making my way around the room modelling and UV-ing the wall and door sections then I will move onto the ceiling pillars ^^

When you upload the images try using Imgur and then attaching that image on here instead of the attachment thumbnails.

After nearly completing all wall sections I noticed that it seemed like I didn't have enough room for the ceiling pillars!



Much better! Especially when viewing shots from the set, lots of room above the doorframe!
