[WIP] The legend of King Arthur Artstation Challenge

Yther

Hi folks!

Here's my contribution to the latest artstation challenge! I'm working on my own concept (an abandoned Excalibur desperately waiting for Arthur's return in a decaying church). As of today, I think I'm done with most of the modeling, with just the vegetation remaining. Then, it'll be time for all the texturing and lighting.

Here's the concept I made:


And here's what I have now, in Unreal Engine 4:

Most of the textures will be done on Substance designer and then applied in Substance painter for all the little details. All of the graffiti will be done with decals, I think.
Feedback and critiques more than welcome

I think the block out looks pretty strong so far other than I think you should just brighten it up a couple of notches

@LuchaDan Thanks you! I'm waiting for mostly-final textures to tweak the lighting but I'm taking note!

This week, I sculpted the dirt pile and the rock and started working on textures in Substance Designer. These are a first draft and the final result will be tweaked and hand crafted in Substance Painter. I'll add all the vegetation next week.

Here's what it looks like with textures:

And the Substance Graphs (WIP)

  The ground

The walls  

The dirt

And an unused for now moss substance

I looked at the calendar and panicked a bit. Only two weeks left!

the scene is now significantly less ugly! I think. I've refined the textures of the ground, the side arcades, the dirt pile and the altar and added all the plants.

Alright, almost done! i polished up the textures for the choir and the roof, added details on the windows, more dirt piles and then some debris and small rocks on top of those. i also added some mud on the ground texture because it seemed a little bit clean.

Also I added a little small flare on the sword to make it pop.

Next week's checklist:

- Add all the graffiti decals

- Tone down the shininess of Excalibur, as it doesn't really look natural. Perhaps go for a more rusted/mossy look?

- Do something with the top of the pillars. They're unnaturally flat.

- Add some rain drops

- Tweak the lighting

looking pretty good, for the foliage look into adding subsurface in the material as it will help a lot with making it look natural. try and get a skylight in there as the shadows seem too dark and finally, I think your brick textures need the roughness increased. can't wait to see what this turns out like, keep up the good work
