Overwatch Watchpoint: Gibraltar (Inner Zone) Fan Art Environment - WIP

Donte' Hawkins

Hello all Polycounter friends! 
Hope all is well. It's time for another environment!

What am I creating?
It's time for another environment! This time I will be creating the inner zone of Overwatch Watchpoint: Gibraltar map.

Why create this environment?
I thought it would be fun idea to create a part of the map that I admire the most. While playing Overwatch, I'm often always inspired to create something amazing. This is the first for me to create an environment that has already been made. I'm definitely looking for to the challenge!

I will be uploading screenshots of my materials, blockouts and environment models. As always, critiques are welcome. I only ask to provide constructive criticism. I will continue to post my progress with this environment as time persists. Thanks and enjoy!

Cool idea for a project I don't know what you're modelling in, but to help us help you it would be helpful with some more ambient occlusion or wireframes on your WIP shots. Right now it's a bit difficult to make out the different elements in your pictures

Donte' Hawkins

@LorasTyrell Thank you! Good point. I'll keep this in mind going forward.

Last screenshot for a while, because I'll be working on some intense modeling for the next couple of weeks. Here's a sneak peek of something cool that I'm working on right now..

Very interesting, I would love to know how you will do your texturing

Donte' Hawkins

@dargor5 Thank you! I've got a bit to get there, but I'm excited about the texturing process

Update on project: I am in the process of UV unwrapping and things are going great. Looking forward to sharing more screenshots later on!

UV Unwrapping - Phase 1- I'm using both ultra trim and tileable normal maps for easier UV unwrapping purposes and extra bevel details.
 

Donte' Hawkins

Hey everyone. That was a bit longer than expected, but there is an update on my environment.

UV Unwrapping - Phase 2 (Final Stage) - I am in the final stages of UV unwrapping and thought it would be a cool idea to put a miniature version of some UV mapped objects together to see how it looks. 

Donte' Hawkins

Quick update: Still hanging in there. UV unwrapping 75% there. Bare with me, because there are alot of objects in this scene. The next phase is texturing/coloring and I'll be sure to post updates when this happens. 

Donte' Hawkins

Ok guys. Finally got my UV unwrapping completed! Enjoy! Stay tuned for the texturing phase

you've put yourself through quite a challenge
cant wait to see what you'll do with it

Donte' Hawkins

@AlirezaMorgan Yep. Thank you!

Long time, no see Polycounters. I've been quite busy Been working on combining and condensing my assets. I thought it would be easier to construct set pieces in Blender rather than having to export like 700 separate objects. As long with this combining process, I've also find some new areas where I could add in some bevel shapes/extra details to make my environment pop more. Still more work to do, but I'm getting there.

Below are some of my shots. Hope you enjoy!

Greetings all! I've been making some great progress. I realized that I had too much typology on some models and had to break it down. Mainly to conserve memory and can easily combine sections faster. Additionally, I also realized that there were some issues regarding overlapping and these issues are currently being fixed. My goal is to keep going with this project. Almost there! Below are some screenshots.

Hello everyone. It's been quite some time. I finally have been able to put this into Marmoset. I've still have a ton of progress to make and some map corrections to do, but here's a quick shot. Enjoy!

Donte' Hawkins

Happy June!
Quick update: Tweaked material values, fixed UV mapping and added more models in the scene. Enjoy

Donte' Hawkins

Greetings all. 
Quick update: Added in chains, Winston's hand, Winston's chain, table stands and other shelving units. Making good progress here. Stay tuned for more updates!

Donte' Hawkins

Happy almost end of November everyone!
Quick update: Inputting normal maps and also figuring out the texturing. Any and all help would be appreciated!



Questions/Feedback:
What things should I add? What things should I take away?
Is there anything that distracts from your eye?
Any other improvements/suggestions?

Thanks!

Small Update: More progress on Overwatch Environment. Added normal maps and tweaked some colors for a better impact.

Quick Update: Needed to tone down some maps and simplify colors. Added normal maps / and also made the environment look like a unit.
