"Mod Facade" Challenge -Mtg_Kirin

Mtg_kirin

Howdy, I barely post here. Just cause im not very good. I hope to learn alot from this. Im still trying to grasp the entire idea behind the contest, but I think Im getting there.

My idea:
Im going to go for a late1800's to early 1900's building. Maybe corner to a street. Also may give a steampunk theme, but not positive on that aspect. I hope Im not completely ripping of anyone else's entry

References so far:







so ya I hope to learn alot from this and hope to get as many comments as your willing to give.

will update tonight with the blocking out of my building

Mtg_kirin

ok so I decided to take 3 buildings from that top picture. Will place camera almost directly in front and point down abit.

I broke up the largest parts into a way I think will work well for textures

Tumerboy

cool, can't wait to see what you churn up.

Mtg_kirin

thanks, hopefully I will keep progress worth fallowing. I blocked out the buildings. Right now I know it looks kinda repeditive, but hopefully it wont in a little while.

Mtg_kirin

ok started adding little things. Still looking pretty repetitive.





Will need to get crazy bump or something, cause looking kinda flat without normal maps

Mtg_kirin

a bit more, pretty much blocking out still. 3 card monte setup, shoe polisher stand, and wooden sign in middle building.

also thinking of when its all finished making a 2nd set of textures all cepia-tone. Like an old picture (could do this with post process in ue3 i guess)






edit:

added some more stuff and worked on my layout for textures. White is for future props and space i may have mis judged.

Mtg_kirin

started adding trim to break up the buildings a bit. ya can ignore all the textures just place holders to get a feel for it

Kawe

looks pretty nice. can we see some wires? and wireframes.

Mtg_kirin

ok here are some wires. so far im at 6397tris. I have some bevel edges I can delete if I need the tris later later.

Mtg_kirin

im starting the modeling over. the last image is kinda my blueprint. now im modeling in chunks I can just use over and over. This is from what Ive seen in ut3 and there wall segments

Mtg_kirin

ok working on 5 different wall units. Door,large window, small window 1, small window 2, blank wall. Then will be working on meshes to cover them and make look a bit more random.



this may be a stupid way to go about it, but Im trying to learn and trying different ways.
