Church Gateway WIP

Hey everyone, I just recently picked up the student version of Max, and I decided to do a project to get me started with it. I have to say I like Max so much more than Blender.

Ok, it's going to be a simple environment piece, a Next-Gen church gateway. It's very simple so I thought It would make a good project for someone of my skill level.

Right Now I'm currently in the High - Poly Modeling stage

Uploaded with ImageShack.us - My high poly so far.

Currently, I'm in the middle of using a noise modifier on everything to make it look more organic. C&C welcome

Seems like a fair representation of the reference at this stage. So keep on truckin'

I actually use noise for the same thing. Recently built an old dock/pier, and every wood slat was a instance with a different noise seed. Kept things looking unique. As long as your setting aren't too wild.

What's the final presentation plan? Better say a real time game environment *shakes fist*

Looking good mate! Can't wait to see some textures.

Thanks for the comments guys

cholden: It is definetly going to be a realtime environment. Gonna show it in Xoliul's Shader or UDK

Just finished putting a noise filter on EVERYTHING. It's pretty subtle but I think it works



Sorry for the render being so noisy it wouldve taken forever to render it if I put the samples up C&C welcome

Alright hey guys, I decided to live stream some of this, and by watching, you'll see that im slow as shit. Im new to max and not that good yet and I'm not good at modeling shapes and figuring them out yet, so I want you guys to tear these vids apart. And you can notice I do get lots of help from another awesome artist, and I thank him for having to stay with me through that shit.

I'm actually thinking of putting this on hold until I learn more
