BEAT-EM-UP | Caryatid

Hey Everyone, I'm new to Polycount, Lee3dee introduced me to this site. I'm branching into environment art and I thought this would be a good opportunity since I'm coming from Exhibit Design.

Challenges
* Efficient use of time creating high poly models, textures, etc.
* Learning the art pipeline from Max/Zbrush/Photoshop/CrazyBump into UDK.

Scene
* I thought of my art board as 3 discreet pieces: interior, quasi-exterior, to open vista with city in the distance (if time permits). I want to re-use some asset pieces throughout the various environments. I am inspired by my art history background and my enjoyment of the Assassin's Creed IP.

    Nice start and block-out.

    I'd be careful with the high frequency details everywhere, most of them are too fine and you only have 2048*4096 if I remember well,

    Also, you should bevel those to details to 45° to have them to catch the normal map bake, else only your AO will have them ;)

    Great concept to play with a lot of pillars and parallax effects with mid-ground/background elements.
