Environment Art

Hi! Guys,
I have been working as a level artist for quiet a while in Canada. But I guess my biggest interested would be creating high detail prop, then bakie the normal map . ^^ I am still pretty green in zbrush. And they always say, it is a best way to learn from the master. So I create an old Damaged Pillar first, using the Riki Baington’s model as a ref.
And i hope the picts load up.

And then I got a little crazy and try to create Kevin Johnstone’s the most famous gear of war Column. Fist of all, I am really want to thank Kevin, his tutorial thread help a LOT. And the process of making that column is really challenge and fun at the same time. And I hope to have more time and more to create more high detail game asset.

This looks pretty good. I like how you can tell the difference from the smooth outer concrete, to the ruff inner concrete.

And finally someone who made a pipe valve right! I hate seeing all these wheel valves @ 90 elbows, which you're not supposed to do in real-life.

Would like to see this in an environment, with other props.

Great sculpt, awesome use of your texture space (probably couldn't get any better), very clean normal map (well, you know what I mean :P ). Great work! I also love how you didn't use a 2048 texture, if you use the space correctly (like you did) you don't need to make it HUGE....

Those are defiantly some nice sculpts (the Gear's column turned out solid).

I'm always hesitant in creating smaller details in my sculpts since it tends to be lost in translation when baked out into the low, I can't tell if that happened to your pillar model (the normal flat reads really nicely) but overall I think the execution is solid

Looking forward to seeing more
