Nah man It's just the hallway. I was thinking of expanding it but at this point I'm getting a bit tired of this scene, so I wanna try and breath a bit more life into this area and then move onto the next one
So I finally got tiledshot to work properly, instead of using 4 I used 2, so it keeps most of my screen effects on there which is nice, and scaling it down takes most of the jaggies away. I still need to get a nicer angle, but it's getting there.
Also, I think I'm getting closer and closer to the style of Deus Ex 3 with more of the gold tinge, mr Arman has been my second eyes on this project so he's been a big help trying to nail this, so dank you arman, hugs and kisses!
When I look at the original concept, there is a reflection on the floor. It might be cool to make something like that. Also it's a bit too orange at the moment.
I agree with the orange it was way overblown and also the reflection. I hope you don't mind a paint-over i tried to bring it back to more of what the original looked like and added a reflection.
Im not sure if this will help but what i did was
added a cooling filter to get rid of the overblown orange,
then added back in with another photo filter this time to get some warmth back, added the reflection, then made the yellow color brighter to more of how the concept has shown. I also added a slight colored fog to the back of the hall where it changes direction.
Feedback is much better than just 'oh this looks sexy!'
I still think the scene looks a little bare. Maybe add some generic clutter to make it look a little more lived in? Even if it's super futuristic sci fi clutter!
great work Jason. Athough I agree with PogoP, maybe some subtle clutter like additional cabling hanging, or something that might "suggest" there is actually something going on there...
This is really good, i hate that yo got it done so fast. You make me look like a pothead who just sits around and plays starcraft 2 all day while taking hits out of my vaporizer, instead of getting work done on the pit... oh wait.
Looking great Jay, I agree with the comments about a tiny bit of dressing in the area, debris/clutter but kept really subtle. Overall colour and lighting wise you seem to be walking the line between the concept and the aesthetics of the actually game (ie orange colour palette. I kinda like where it is right now, maybe just push your darks a bit darker for more contrast. Seriously great work though! I am currently filled with shame :-)
hehe still not done though Im gonna take what you guys have said and add some things to help break up the monotony.
Oh Evan, if only you knew how many hours a day at work I stare at you secrelty as you texture away... if you only knew :P bwahha
Thanks again everyone for the awesome feedback, I really appreciate it, and as always, this stuff will never turn our nearly as good without your crits, weopweop!
Even if I try to find something to nitpick about the only thing that bothers me a are the colours. I feel that something between willy-wilson's paintover and your last shot would work best. Perhaps you could try changing the fog colour to something cold? Still, that's your call, any way around it will look awesome.
dnd btw, I'm with Ryan here. You're like a goddamn machine
Whew... do you all think this is ok to call this done? I'm getting to the point where this is wearing off on me, and that's usually when I have to get my ass in gear to finish it off before I pewp my pants.
Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Jay i don't like this scene. It's all square. It's like the whole game is on a grid, man. I think you need to expand your horizons as an artist and maybe use some bezier curves next time, because, i mean, who likes grids?
You troll like the best of em Ryan, I'll miss that man (Thank's buddy)
Thanks Swizzle, I think I've saved most of your character work (specifically your most recent works) to my inspiration folder, I always love me a big tablespoon of swizz sauce in the morning to get me ready for the day ahead... interpret that as you like
This turned out really great! I wasn't a fan of that much orange/yellow first, but I think you have enough green in there to make it look balanced.
The texture work is great, I love all the subtle stuff going on in both the diffuse and especially the spec/gloss! Kickassely done!
Great job Jason. I do feel like you should have leaned towards the cooler lighting similar to the concept, still feel like its too yellow. Regardless though I'm a fan of your work.
i agree the concept had more contrast regarding lightning and mood, right now its waay too yellow and washes out the contrast from the concept looks awesome anyway ^^
地行 doesn't actually mean anything. It's nice looking and often used Kanji, 地 can often be found in electronics and 行 is used to mean motion with other Kanji.
For Entrance, you need the simplest and probably most recognised Kanji of all: 入り口
Most people get to know this simple set of shapes when they are tourists in Japan.
I love the 'empty' version of the scene! I think having a pulled up floor panel and trailing wire is eye rollingly common in every science fiction environment ever, and sticking it in the centre with no other props makes it look like focus of the piece.
Your environment is beautiful, let it stand on its own legs!
Yeah, I kind of agree with what others are saying about the yellow washing the scene out a little, maybe try and tone it down a bit. Other than that, your modeling/bakes came out clean, and your texture work is vary niceeee! Did you try adding a bit of reflection to the floor at all to match more of the concept?
But damn, I wish I had made this, keep up the awesomeness!
I second the rest, the yellow is washing out the sceen, and I liked the colder look of the concept more in general, it also has more color variation that way.
Perhaps let it rest for a bit, then try a second lighting setup? Depends on what you're going for, I like bright colors
Saved to inspiration folder, really neat nonetheless. Nice 'n clean, solid work.
Hey all, so reviving this thread for the last dump of art.
There was suppose to be a little article about this on the front page but I think it fell through so let me post these shots here so this isn't a complete waste.
Soon enough I'll be doing an update to my website to post some newer stuff I've been working on (hopefully) and keep working on new stuffles
I know there are some crits here that you guys think should be done, I apologize for not doing them (been done this scene for awhile) but hopefully you guys know I'll be taking the crits / comments / suggestions that everyone has given me and will be taking it into future work, so thanks again all
Alritghy, let this thread slowly fade away hehe :poly142:
That looks fantastic Jason I love how clean the bakes turned out and how easy it is to read even smaller details and indents! Really great job.
My only crit (I know you won't be working on this anymore but still) is that every metal looks the same type of metal. There are infinite types of metals, so next time you can try to play with that. Some are more glossy, others are more matte and so on. Specular/Glossiness variation on materials that stand next to each other can really bring the scene to life!
I'm also curious about the article, do you plan to release it on your site?
That is one thing (specifically recently) where I've been having trouble with setting up proper spec, which you are right. Alot of these materials (like the painted metal) should have come out more matte like Philip K's style, where as some of them could have be brushed metal etc. You'll have to give me a run down on proper spec sometime Thiago
As for the the mini article i have no idea what will happen with it. Maybe once i update / fix up the site I can post it, but it would be weird I think if its not posted else where. We'll see what'll happen.

Things.. that are down there.
This is dope man. Did you build more than just the hallway?

More to come
Perhaps some bright light and fog/dust with slightly silhouetted things in the back of that corridor?
Im not sure if this will help but what i did was
added a cooling filter to get rid of the overblown orange,
then added back in with another photo filter this time to get some warmth back, added the reflection, then made the yellow color brighter to more of how the concept has shown. I also added a slight colored fog to the back of the hall where it changes direction.

I doubt that's true!
Can't wait to start working with you guys in January!
Again Jason, awesome job man!
No worries Ryan, you'll be doing some mind exploding things at ID so i'll be the one utterly failing as I try to keep up with you, haha.

Also, I saved that latest image to my inspiration folder.

once like this, and then again with the main lights turned off, and all the secondary running lights red, as if the facility is under alert status.
could be cool
Nice work.
