Sci Fi Room

Oghar

Hey all. This is a project that I am currently working on. I've been inspired by multiple members to finally get something up on PC. I would love to hear what you think about it, and any thoughts on where it can go.

The primary methods of creation are to make a low poly model, then from there get crazy with detail using a turbo smooth method in Max. Then after all that I will be unwrapping all the low polys and bake in the turbo smooth goodness. After that I'll use something like the Nvidia filter or xNormal to create the finer detail. I was told not to make a wall of text, so I'm stopping. Enjoy.

Hi Oghar, welcome to PC! Solid Start here. GOGOGOG!

p.s. since this is only your 3rd post, almost nobody will leave comments. betcha 50 bucks.

my first WIP post got me a decent amount of crits :P dont listen to him!

Your concept is pretty sweet looking, but its hard to give much feedback at such an early stage.. just workworkwork!

skylebones

Yeah I really dig the concept, I'm interested to see how this turns out.

I love Feng Zu, I cant wait to see some more. Looking good so far.

YO Oghar! Post more wips!

Any thoughts are welcomed.

great work, few crits however. the cylinders could be a lot smoother, and some of the wall detail feels a bit confusing. i think the two slim lights above the center doorway should actually be beveled inwards the opposite way according to the concept. seems like some lighting embedded into the wall.

great work so far!

You should add stuff in side the... hole. Bellow is an example:

Glad you're still at it man, keep it up. Hope things are good in Florida.

Oghar

Kaburan: Those cylinders will get smooth, just an oversight on the WIP render, dont you worry. I'll see what it looks like with inverted lights.

roosterMap: It would appear that I am not the only one with a hole to fill... I will ponder this idea, but will wait until the end to see if that hole needs filling. Also thanks for the inspiration, that hole makes my hole look pretty un-detailed, guess I gotta step it up.

crazyfingers: Glad to see I'm still at it too man. Florida's still Florida!

Look for more depth in edge bevel size and extrusion depth. Your back wall looks like it's had some details pasted on, rather than being made of some heavy, chunky machinery. Also keep in mind that exaggerating your bevels is probably a good idea to get a better normal bake out of it.

Oghar

Glib: Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely exaggerate my bevels more, I see what you mean now. I was torn between doing a high poly version of it versus doing just a photoshop/Nvidia filter version. As for the missing detail, i'll add that via photoshop using that technique.

I've moved on to modeling the robot arm, and will have some WIPs coming Monday.
