Abandon Sci-Fi Station WIP

Hi guys,

Here is my modular Sci-fi Environment I have been working on for my portfolio, still early stages but I thought I would post anyway. I will be texturing the scene using Quixel Suite and rendering it in UE4. Any feedback is always welcome.

My goals:

• Medium size Environment

• Modular 

• Kitbashing workflow

• Become better at hard surface modelling, PBR and baking normal maps

• Having a breakdown of the scene, polycount, texture sheet

• Video and renders of the Environment in UE4

Very nice. On stuff like this, it's all about adding lots of detail, and you see to understand that well. Keep it up. I'd love to see it progress.

Thanks emomobile, I will try and updated my progress regularly.

Curious how it will look at the end. How are you breaking pieces to make them modular?

I have the pieces snap to the grid with the same size and scale to be able to repeat them by snapping them together.

Update 03

Here is what I’ve been up too lately

 

·         Experimented with the  different patterns for the wall, floor, door and arc wall

·         Created the different shapes for my kit bashing library

·         Added the various detail to the wall, door, floor and arc wall

·         Adjusted the pipes, made them bigger

·         Sorted out the cut in the arc wall so it is straight

·         model the pattern for the floor piece and added the grill

·         Adjusted the pieces to make sure they snap to the grid and objects correctly

Update 04

• Updated the design and added the detail to the roof

• Model an escape hatch/airlock for the roof

At the moment I think my scene is repeating too much. I was thinking of adding another wall piece, as well as adding some unique objects to the scene to break up the modular look.

Update on my progress so far.  

- I redesign the door, walls and hatch.

- Added a lot more detail to the objects.

- Model 3 different walls pieces so the environment does not repeat too much.

- Added some trims and beams to the environment to break up the walls and floors.

- Finished the high poly version.

I will be creating the low poly version now and baking down the high poly. As well as filling up the environment with some props. I was thinking of adding some barrels, creates, cables and lights.
