UC 2009 'END GAME' | Chicken Domination | 3D

elementrix

Hey there,

the theme I'm going for will be a village in the middle of the water, which is going to be struck by a huge wave. More details later.

I'm also going to try and make my scene/level playable so it's an actual game level(not the actual end level of a game, but a 4 player death-match for unreal tournament.)

polycount ftw!

crazyfingers

That's a lot to pull off dude, good luck with that

Emil Mujanovic

Neat idea, and good luck as you seem to have quite a work load ahead of you in such a short time.

elementrix

I have been doing some research and tests on making a very large wave, I also tried it in cryengine but can't get it right. So I decided that the "end" will probably be a torpedo you see coming underwater(or already hitting the village).

However because I opened cryengine I kinda got in love again, so the environment will probably be in cryengine. I already made a brushblockout of my environment in unreal and will soon show some concepts and directions.

elementrix

so I've been blocking out some brushes, and started painting over them, but somehow I don't feel like it's really unearthly, I miss something, what do you guys think?

this is basically the last game artisans settlement in a polycount dominating world, and there will be a bomb placed with the greentooth on it to show the end of game artisans.


another idea that I have now is the end boss of a game, which has been cursed in the past and is now asleep till someone will show up that can defeat him. Because he has been asleep for many many years and no-one has ever discovered him. The cathedral like environment his throne is in has been broken in a lot of places, and trees and plants started covering the structure.

elementrix

so I made 2 more concepts, and decided I want to go with the cathedral, these concepts are far from finished but I just want to start on 3D now:P
this is the one I'll be going for: (end description in previous post)

elementrix

finally started working in 3D:P

fiddling around, need to work harder >.<


the texture on the pillar is just a normal + AO, not really textured yet.

killahk

I like your idea but I think its missing that "end game" element

elementrix

well the rules also state that end game could be the end level of a game, like the room where you meet the final boss, which is this basically. right?

weee no alien invasion ^^

elementrix

didn't like where my previous pillars were going so made a few new ones, still not textured:



first I'm making the cathedral in good state, and then I'll start breaking it.

elementrix

textured my pillar:

liking the texture work but almost looks a little to even as far as the dirt, maybe you can vary some stains and muck and then when placing them in the scene you can turn them all slightly so they dont look repeated

elementrix

slowly:P


I will start adding broken parts/dirt/ foliage and special pieces after I finished al my base pieces.

AlanSMitchell

so I have a question I tried one destruction pass and it failed miserably. how does one go about creating a destruction pass?

elementrix

because this structure is so modular I'll just make a few modular pieces that are destroyed and place them on the right spot, it's not like the whole church is destroyed, just a part of it.

got a ceiling in today, just a screengrab from maya, no normals or so:


need to add a nice end stone on the crossing ribs...

I need to do alot of homework now, so I won't be working that much on this scene for a week.:(

edit: and a quick setup in unreal:

some problems with some meshes but will solve that.

elementrix

finally a new piece, the week I expected to loose turned into 2 and a half week but I'm still going:P

a window:

elementrix

trying to light it with Lightmass, but can't get the result I want....


still need to do alot and only one week left xD

elementrix

I probably won't make the unearthly deadline:(, but I'll just continue with this scene anyway. Unearthly has been helping me to keep working on it:) I feel ashamed to post this between all the other awesome stuff out there but here is a shot from maya (no normalmaps-simplelighting) to show my progress so far:

/thanks for the comments guys...

smiljan66

thanks
