Challenge #20 polycountville - Makk

Makk

Here is the concept for what Im going for-

Its supposed to be a little cave area with a pond. There are these little crystal things that emit a blue glow.
I would also like to add a little golem creature to the scene as well.
I'll be going with the 10x10 block

This will be my first environment ever done, so I hope things go well!!

edit: UPdate. Started blocking in-

its at 270tris

Nice start, Makk. If you make your pond surface a quad poly, and have it larger than (and intersecting) your pond area you'll save a bunch of tris for somewhere else.

Makk

well, I think Im done-

PLEASE NOTE: I rendered the above pic with the textures at 1024x1024 since I was working at that size . I will downsize them according to the rules when I send them off.Also I used one light in the scene.
Came in at 1004 tris.
Gmanx good idea, saved a few polies there

Here are the flats-
Diffuse

Spec

Hows my spec map looking? I dont have much experience with these so I hope mine wont look to bright in game.

edit: added a bit more blue to the rocks. Sent mine off to Hawken.
Vassago, thanks man. Ah, I thought someone said they were going to make a UT map of them.

In game? I think they're only going to be assembled and rendered, not tossed into a game.

I'm liking the scene, though. Very cool.
