Same team as last year! It´s time for revenge!

We will go with a scifi viking setting this year, featuring the allmighty world tree, Yggdrasil and many more references to Norse mythology ^^

WIP images soon to follow!

Ark

Loved your piece last year, looking forward to this years.

Snowfly

Hell yeah You were an awesome team last year, good to see you back!

Snefer

Raiding is in our blood, last year it was pirates, this year its vikings

TAKE EVERYTHING, LEAVE NOTHING!

*runs bevelling towards the horizon*

turpedo

Can't wait to see your stuff

PixelGoat

Ah I like me some Nordic mythology.

Make sure you make the roots look like they've been chewed through.

Snefer

Jackablade: you're reffering to the dragon Nidhögg, right? That was the lower roots, the bastard was not climbing the tree atleast He was below ground, if I recall correctly :]

PixelGoat

Omg such Norse Nerdery in here! sheeeesh

Martin Henriksson

With a name like Tor you kinda have to know your norse mythology right?

Snefer

Hehe, I do know my nordic mythology, yes, haha

Christian Hjerpe

This looks cool, will surely follow this one. Loved your entry with the pirate cove!
PixelGoat btw I think I met you at Erics and Therese´s party some time ago

EbolaV

I love viking myths. You guys did a great job last year. Dont disappoint us ^^

Snefer

Soo.. Highpoly for prop nr1. Not entirely finished, gonna drag it kicking and screaming through Zbrush aswell, and fix some stuff on it, but enough excuses and here goes:

I hope you dig the style. :}

killahk

very impressive!! that is a sick ass high poly model

crazyfingers

wow, looks like a lot of effort went into that bad boy, nice. Only thing buggin' me is that dragon-head lookin' doohickey at the top. Best prop i've seen so far

Honestly don't see much use with zbrush, looks to have plenty detail as is. Maybe just grunge it up using xnormal in shop? But feel free to jazz it up as you see fit!

Spitfire

woah, damn, thats some fancy stuff

professorXXX

whoohoo...first great jaw dropping piece of the unearthly challenge so far. congrats...great work

Ben Apuna

Oh I get it now. I totally missed the "sci-fi" part in the first post, very interesting mix of ideas.

Awesome high poly Snefer, I look forward to seeing more.

Snefer

killahk: thanks man :]
Crazyfingers: yeah, those dragons are a bit....special. Haha ^^

Spitfire: cheers man!

professorXXX: thanks!

Ben Apuna: Thanks, we want to try something sci-fi, but not so generic, remains to see if we can pull it off like we want to

Bulls_eye

Damn that pillar is tight, cant wait to see more stuff.

shape

very nice. Dragon heads aren't working for me either - I think it's the curled back lips. Maybe something just a little menacing would work well.

Spitfire

I got big hopes for this one, ive always had a facination for the world tree thingy. What engine are you guys going for?

BTW how do you model when you did your highpoly support, i got some catching up to do on highpoly modeling techniques

PixelGoat

Working on the surrounding terrain/backdrop. Heres a quick overlunch-draft

crazyfingers

Going to look awesome in perspective. I also like how the white adds a fog effect without having to rely on in-game fog (going to use the same technique so we don't wash out our skybox).

Very nice! What did you use to make that?

Ark

Worldmachine maybe?

Anyways, looking good so far.

Diwan

Dang that hi poly is amazing, very inspiring! Mooaar!

Peris

cool! It looks a bit stretched vertically though

Snefer

aaaaand here's a shot of the lowpoly-bake. Now I'm going to bed. If I can get out of this damn locked-down office.

also, it needs to loose some polys, it is fat. And got a 1k texture, shot is fancy xnormal-screengrab. And yeah, theres a comparison of the low and high.

turpedo

Great job Snefer, I look forward to the textured version.

Indeed it is. Will fix that as I continue to iterate on it

Joyal

Good Luck Dudes, hope this year we dont tie again :P

** Big Fan of your stuff.!!

Snefer

A WIP of the highpoly for a wallsegment, it will have a tree intervowen in it later, but right now its only...METAL!

divi

im REALLY curious how it will look with the tree quite promising!

jayoplus

Wow. Very nice work indeed.

Ubersock

really love the post also the wall is looking great too, go get some sleep!!!!!! hahah, cant wait to see everything come together. cant find anything wrong with the parts you made, so keep up the amazing work

Orb

kickass wallsegment ! cant wait to see the textured low poly.

BlvdNights

awwwe some!

Snefer

just some texturing. mjeh. very wippywippy.

crazyfingers

Nice nice, if you guys bring all your assets up to this level you'll definitely be a force to be reckoned with.

OggyOi!

Nice stuff, really digging the Sci-Fi/Fantasy look.

PixelGoat

Due to lots of stuff happening right now I´m gonna have to back out of the competition. I won´t have enough free time to dedicate to this. Better luck and timing next year I hope

crazyfingers

, bittersweet to see you leave the competition pixelgoat, that environment was lookin' tight. On one hand it sucks we wont to see more of your kick ass environment work, on the other hand I'm kinda relieved you wont be kicking our butts in the competition! Good luck with your other projects!

Ubersock

I too am sorry to see you go, I enjoyed your progress. what you already have done was amazing and inspirational. But i feel you man, the time frame for this contest id tight.

hope to see you in next years competition


Mike

Great work. Cool modeling, very impressive. I like the terrain. Is there any chance you explain what technique used for texturing?

snake85027

beautiful work

konstruct

bumpity bump! would love to see where this is headed.

Alberto Rdrgz

i agree with - Konstruct - Im keeping my eye on this!

Angel Art

Wall looks nice, Im interested to see how this all will look with foliage and such over growing on it.

The best of luck
