Hey guys been awhile,

I decided to work on the Alcazar Palace in Seville, Spain. This thread will showcase my progress and I hope you guys might like or critique what you think might be a better fit to make it game ready.

    So to bring you guys up to speed as to what I've been doing the last few weeks. First week I needed to try and find the best workflow that might suite this project. Usually for organic/hardsurface props I would go Maya (low) -> Zbrush (High) -> Maya (Retopo + UV's) -> Baking (Program depends on best bake) -> Substance Painter (Base Paint) -> Substance Designer/Painter (Detail Passes) -> Photoshop for quick and easy fix -> then finally render.

    So naturally I had the low res done quite quickly up until I found out that there was many more pieces I couldn't necessarily see in the reference and so I dug deeper, and slowly "sighed". Well I was determined to get it done anyways.

    I thought of starting with the first floor; blocking everything needed and then completing a mid-res to get it ready for Zbrush.

    Second Week I had to move quickly as I was falling behind with the first floor not being entirely finished and still didn't match the reference completely.

    The third week I UV'd and started importing everything into Unreal and it was definitely not where I wanted it to be. So I decided to go back and focus on something a little smaller in the reference and then start expanding further out.

    Today I'm working with Projection Master inside of Zbrush.

    Nice start. Looks like a pretty close representation of the reference. At a first glance it looks like some of the proportions are slightly off, but only slightly :D Can we see the wires?

    You certainly can. Did you wanna see the environment wireframe as well?

    Hey guys not trying to leave any of yah hanging. Just been having to back track on some issue's I ran into when importing to Unreal as the latest pic was inside of maya for size comparison so I could make sure it fit the reference as much as possible. So in regards to the wireframe I'll upload that tonight (remember that was pre-alpha) so there is bound to be many changes.

    This is one of the pillars with base textures.

    I think the lighting is letting this down a little at the moment. Are you still working on that? It looked a nice in your earlier renders and if you can match that again I think it will look a lot better.

    Yep, it looks kinda unlit right now. I think you can push shadows/light contrast a bit more.

    Hey! Jacob! Updates please! :) I hold similar interests in the work that you're doing, mostly pretty patterns and textures. The patterns and work can tend to feel overwhelming, but don't give up!
