WIP - Barracks UDK

m4dcow

I have been working on and off on this scene barracks scene based off of this concept I found on cghub.



I am still changing and refining textures at this point but have done a few preliminary attempts at lighting. I have a few small props that need to be done (entry console, misc wires, wooden crates, trash, poster etc...).


I just wanted to get feedback on what I have done so far, and any suggestions that I could put into action.

models are pretty good, im not feeling the floor and the lighting seems uninspired and just kind of there. The concept has alot of volume and feel

I feel like the scene you have is much smaller and more cramped than what the concept portrays. I'd go back and try and work out some scale issues before working anymore on the textures.

I've been pretty slow on this due to a few issues of figuring out UDK. I raised the ceilings a bit but mainly I was working on lighting with this update, any thoughts?

I would like to see you desaturate it and lower the specular a bit. Since the concept is more grayish and everything is blending in much more.

But otherwise really nice scene, just need to work on the "feeling" a bit.

Maybe, desaturate in the post effect, lower the brightness so it is really dark and then add a low-density fog over the entire room.

m4dcow

In this update I desaturated the image a little bit, I increased the depth fog (had some in there but it was low), and tweaked a few other lightmass values.

Springare

better but the "feeling" is not quite there yet ^^ moar fog! no put try tweaking the shadows in the post volume so it gets really dark and then whit help of a larger fog you might get a nice light feel.

Best tip is basically to just play around whit fog, light and the post-effects until u get the result u are looking for.

The camera angle is quite boring at the moment. I would copy the concepts camera angle, also your door is far in the distance, I would bring it forward like the concept so we can see the nice details on it.

Keep going, solid foundations, just needs more passes.

m4dcow

In this update I lit the door a bit more, and tried a few different camera angles. I'll probably start throwing the other props into the scene to see how they look.

the ground is kinda empty.. i made that same mistake before ... try to work from the ground up ... cracks not just texture but break up the ground/ newspapers/ oil spill or what ever to lead the viewer and tell a story...

m4dcow

Here's my progress, I'm looking to wrap this up soon, add in a few random bits of trash, poster/s as in the concept and just fix a few texture issues.

Any crits & suggestions welcomed as always.

I think that's looking really good and creepy. It's not exactly the same feel as the concept, but well done none the less.

Textures look great.

I did deviate from the concept a bit, but I ended up liking where it went, thanks

It doesn't seem you're lighting the outside evenly - the light coming from the windows is pretty bright in the first two shots but nonexistent in the last shot.

A light that I made to highlight the door a bit more is sort of neutralizing the effect of the exterior light, so I'm messing with that light to regain some of the effect.

m4dcow

A small update, the light from the windows is a bit more prominent on the wall with the door now.

I really like the feel of this level so far. Keep it up!
