Our team chose to work on the concept by Jaime Jones. We have started blocking out a rough model and hopefully will be able to post it soon.
Started to add a bit more detailing to the HIVE. We will start to do some texture tests soon.
We have decided to make the extractor unit bigger in order to enhance the massiveness of the HIVE hanging above. The Cardboard cutout Guy is just for scale :poly124:. We also added a void space surrounding the extractor because we are thinking about adding some sort of tendon like roots that will snake up from under the extractor machinery which might help balance out the space.
The surrounding walls are still being worked on.
we have pretty much finished blocking out the interior space. The Hive extractor has been re-worked and enlarged. We have also made the pit bigger. We are working on the rock details for the pit and exterior walls as well as the edge of the main walkway.
This shows the enlarged Hive extractor pit.
Chino started doing some Zbrush tests for the extractor pit rock material. Here's a WIP update.
do you plan to zbrush the whole thing?
I've started to do some form and shape tests for the Hive itself using Zbrush. This one shows a bone like skeletal structure. I am thinking maybe using more of a freshy and meaty look.
This one is another test for the Hive. I experimented with a more meaty tendon like look.
I decided finally to try mixing the previous details together to see what happens and this was the result.....still a WIP though....still working on it. Might try out some texture tests soon.
cool stuff.
Based on my last post. I started to do some texture tests for the Hives overall look. The Maps are 1024. Normal maps exported from my Zbrush model. For this texture i was trying to achieve a look that resembles rotting flesh......then i started adding some colder colors trying to make it more out of this world like.
Looking forward for more progress.
Best of luck!
where are those rendering from pliz?
Hi all. It's been a few days since our last post. We have been kind of swamped with work....but here's some new WIP updates. I have started putting together the textures for the Hive. Desaturated the overall meaty color a bit. Alphaboy and Chino have just started to do some texture tests for the surrounding scene. Hopefully i will be able to post some images of those soon.
Still working on some lighting ideas as well but thinking about sticking to the safe principals of warm and cold contrast lighting.
Hi, here is an idea that we have been playing with for the rock surface surrounding the Hive extractor. Still experimenting with the overall look.:)
Hi all, we are still texturing the main environment. Here is an update screen capture.
Here is a vertical view of our environment. Textures are still in progress. We are also doing some color and lighting tests which we hope to post soon
Hi all, here is an update on the Hive roots that we have been working on. They are suppose to snake up from the extractor pit. The textures are still a WIP. We wanted to get the rotten meaty look like thingy going:)
Here is another image of the snake like roots.
Here is a lighting test of the different elements surrounding the extractor pit.
We have placed the hive with the surrounding elements. Lighting test. Still trying to get the overall evil mood going.Some of the textures are still being finished.
Hi all, It's been a while since our last update. Here is a process board showing the meaty roots.
This is the color/diffuse map that we used for the main wall textures.
This is a specular map sample of the main wall textures.
