Temple of the Sun

Szark

Working on the Temple of the Sun from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for the competition over at game-artist.net with a friend.

We're getting into it a bit late, but hopefully we'll be able to pull it off..

Images of how its looking so far:







There are a number of problems at the moment, but any crits / comments are appreciated.

I dont really know what it's supposed to be in the movie but that is pretty much a 1 on 1 with Petra. One of the new world wonders.

Yeah. They used Petra for the exterior of the temple. In the movie the temple houses the holy grail.

And some sweet booby traps.... and melting nazis...

Sweet idea! Looks nice so far.

Progress update:





The column capital lacks all sorts of cool details, but I'll be leaving it as is for the moment. If I get a bit of time near the end I'll go back to it and update it.

C&C welcome.

Tumerboy

looking good.

vladino

looks great! looking forward to see this one finished

SHEPEIRO

nice detail but maybe think about reducing texture density(and mesh) as you go up the facade as you will never see alot of them pixels.

then again if you are going to have one or two peices broken on the floor then that woul dbe fine

Szark

Thanks for the comments.

Shep: Thanks for the suggestion, we'll keep that in mind.

Some messings around in unreal:

Szark

Been sick over the last few days so I haven't been in the working mood, but heres how its looking at the moment:





We still have heaps to add and fix up. . .heres hoping we make the deadline!

Crits & Comments welcome!

Fantastic Szark, got a nice start on lighting as well.

Seems like in the bottom picture though, either your your textures are tiling weird, or your normals have a nasty seam when tiling (the bottom slate, just above the columns), its nit picking, but its just a bit too noticeable to pass.

Good luck, really excited to see the end product.

Szark

Thanks, Jason.

That problem is due to bad vertex lighting, if you look around you'll notice it in a few other places, but it will be fixed soon.

SHEPEIRO

need a nice rock texture with biger shapes in the normal

Szark

Heres our final submission:





We had to pull an all-nighter to get this thing done in time, so a lot of things were rushed (Ohai huge seam in terrain) and there are a few things we aren't happy with, but overall we're quite pleased with what we've done.

We're going to be spending a little extra time fixing some of the things we dislike, so if you have any crits / comments we'd like to hear them.

Once we’re finished with the scene I’ll create a new thread with the final images & statistics.

Well done guys. I think it turned out really good. Post again if you get those few things cleaned up. :thumbup:

Szark

Thanks for the comments. I'll be sure to post again once we've fixed the scene up a little.

I've got to say i just LOVE this enviroment, it's really inspirational to me the only critique i can give is that there seems to be a lot of wasted polys, just at first glance, the pillars, if theyre totally straight, why does it need so many loops? other than that, its spot on great work!

Demotion

I love the scale and overall visual feel is really cool, great work.

whats_true

Why is it so freaking bright? I seems to be flattening your image a lot

I really like how this turned out. My only issue is that the third column doesn't look like it would be upright anymore, based on that crack. There is so much of the column above the break, that it would slide and fall off

Hey, what happend to that project? Want to see some progress!

Edit: Me fails...
