Hey all! So here's my unearthly challenge I'll be doing for the next month. Not only for this but for my level design class as well. I have a couple things to start with, it's going to be a Gothic medieval setting, with the usuals, blacksmith, farmhouse, hand cart. With a cathedral at the end that will have some sort of demonic overtaking, with tentacles or bone hands, or whatever I decide within these next few days of conceptualizing!! So far I have a quick sketch to kind of get a basic idea on paper, and some thumbnails of the cathedral.

Anyway, good luck!!!

Sirdelita

Ok, went a step further, not the final cathedral, but starting to head in the right direction.

Sirdelita

Okay I like this one a lot better, still not nearly as much detail as the final design will be.

Sneekyazn

oh yes man diggin that shape much more than the other one u had goin there lookin better

Sirdelita

thanks man!

Sirdelita

This is my grey box with a thrown in lighting test. Just getting down the placement of everything and stuff!!

EDIT: I did a MUCH better version of this!!

killahk

looking good so far, i like your composition but not the cam angle

Sirdelita

haha! I just did a shot from above, I'll do a much better one

Sirdelita

Heres the first concept for one of the houses that will be in the level...not entirely sold on it. Drawing environments and buildings are still pretty new to me, so hopefully by the end of this I will be a lot better! I feel it's still too clean and should maybe be a bit more beat up.

Sirdelita

okay finished the model for the first house! On to texturing!!

Sirdelita

Okay so this my first texture pass! Messing around with texture painting for the first time, and it's way more difficult than I thought...but gonna keep on going!

a lot of times it helps to start with a base www.cgtextures.com you can find very specific textures there, easy sign up.

How you go from the base is up to you, try various techniques, painting over it, maybe using the smudge tool, stacking other layers, just play around.

Sirdelita

yeah thanks! I did use reference, but I'm sure that's a much more consistent way of doing things!

I did use cgtextures for a multiplyed dirt layer. To add texture.

Sirdelita

i actually totally agree! thanks for the suggestion!

Sirdelita

i painted the textures in photoshop! The roof was rushed a little bit, gonna go back and clean that up!

Looking good! Are you using any special software or anything to create the houses?
