1460 Days - underwater habitat [UE4]

Crazy_pixel

Hi Polycount,

I'm working on a new project called "1460 Days" it is still the working title but I like it already. Anyway here is my backgroundstory so far:

"Something bad has happened on the earth. You as a scientist must find out what happened and how to reveal it. Together with an extraterrestrial matter you were enclosed in an undersea habitat. You are connected by the outside world only by a radio communication system, however, since a good year you have heared nothing from the surface. Nevertheless, you still try to find a reversal of the events."

The Design is based on retro scifi elements settled in the 60's, like the fallout fanchise but way more plastic 

I Try to make most of my assets modular to be more flexible in UE4. Also it is a good opportunity for me to work more with normal weighted meshes and tileable textures.


Comments and critiques are welcome

Here are a few screenshots from the current status.

Cool idea, I like the direction this is headed already   Keep it up!

Thank you CrackRockSteady 


Btw ... I'm working on my modular set. I try to work with reduced shapes, so I can break up the complete scene with decals and detail meshes.

More polys for the poly godsssss (translation for humans: I'd up the poly count on those circular shapes - faceting is p visible)!

I know I want more polys too, but I have a small problem, when I use more polys there is a shadow gab between the tunnel and the ring.

Sooo I could blend it with some kind of trim decal or I use a higher poly count for all hallway assets.

The moment when you work on a room and then the scale isn't as good as you thought. 



But I made a set of small rooms with differnt entries. Now I have more controll about the interieur design

Hey

new impressions of my station project. I need a door ......

Shapes are interesting!! I would definitely add more resolution on the clinder edges; to improve the silouhette. Just collapse those new faces quickly when you get in the middle to avoid impacting the polycount too much!!

You made a super great job here. If I am not mistaken, you wanted this to be a residential area. The super great thing about the shapes that you have used is that they are curved, round and smooth (this kind of shapes give the sensation of safety which is perfect for a place that is going to be used for a living). Thanks to the chair and table color we also have some warm colors, which is also perfect for this kind of environment (place where someone is going to live).

Thank you guys!

@Olingova
I see your point. It is just a small scene and no big game level so I can work with more polys right

@MarcoAntonio

That is exactly my intention.

The upper part of the station is for the laboratory and living areas and the lower segment is for the creepy "alien" thing. Later the clean look slightly disappears because the person lives almost 3 years down there so everything is more used.

Today I start working on a few basic materials also I like the idea to color code the station segments

Hola,
I modeled a few smaller pieces for my construction kit and put it into my test scene.

Olingova

Nice to see new props populating the scene! You might already think about the decals of water on the floor; can't imagine a underwater city without tiny leaks from tubes or things like that  

Crazy_pixel

water everywhere
I need a list for decals!

My girlfriend played Okami HD on the Switch and while I watched it, I liked more and more the outline effect.
So I made an Unreal version and tested it within my scene and I really like it! 

Also I started to model small propsfor my scene. Let me know what you think   

I have problems uploading images so here are a few links:
