[WIP] - PBR Diablo Environment ( Feedback Please )

KrakenPro

Hey guys! I will be uploading over here my WIPs regarding the scene I am currently working on! I've decided to go and try to do a Diablo-inspired environment. Using some of the concept art done for Heroes of the Storm, as well as my original ones, I'm trying to create a believable scene that can be found in HotS/Diablo. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I want to create a bridge that can be found in the Burning Hells. Nothing too big so I can concentrate on nailing the overall feel and atmosphere/visual style. 

Cheers!

[Update]

I worked on the support for the bridge, the goal was to give the impression of demonic hands being the one to keep it up. I will continue to play with the texture on it, maybe go a little bit darker than it currently is.

Hey guys!
Long time since the last update, but I have finally some more time to work on my scene! I'm pretty happy with the overall mood, I will be adding some props and animate some elements to get it to feel more alive   
I would love to get some feedback   
Cheers!

Hey, I don't really have any feedback, but I am watching your progression here, and it looks awesome

That's some nice progress, good work on the ground material. That fire pit looks really cool too 

Syrtax

Great work so far! 
My feedback after comparing it with some screenshots of Diablo 3  / HOTS would be to tone down the shadows or soften them out a bit more and increasing the AO amount / radius

Faved - Excited to see more

Coming from someone who played most of blizzard's games (and diablo 3) i'd say your style has this blizzard-ish theme and it's done very nicely, and it reminds me more of Hots and WoW than d3 (i personally like sticking more to d3 rather than hots because it's a d3 inspired scene) but maybe that has to do with lighting and post process, however.
There is definitely more contrast in d3 between the lava areas which have a bright and blooming light, and the rest of the scene that looks rather dark so if you want to showcase a different mood to it, i'd say try out d3 style lighting too

@Doxturtle Thanks man! I'm working on a second ground texture that I will vertex paint to give even more life to it!
@Syrtax Thank you! Oh yeah, I see what you mean, I will play around with it and post the result
@Larry Oh wow the fact that you find my work to have the blizzard-ish style really means a lot! Yes, I understand perfectly what you mean, in the beginning, my main goal was to really create a Diablo environment but in the HOTS Universe, however, your suggestion is interesting and I will definitely test it out to see how it looks with that sweet D3 lightning. It would be nice to have 2 different moods to show!

I've been quite busy this past month, but finally got some time to work on the props. I'm working on a loot chest and this is the upper part of it. Orb's rendering tips have been priceless!

As always, your feedback is welcomed!

This weekend I managed to sculpt some skulls and bones. They will be mainly placed in the cages above the lava!
