[WIP] Desert Temple

jimmypopali

Hey guys, this is basically what I've been modeling since yesterday so let me know if I'm on the right track.

I'm looking for crits in the shape and direction area. I need to know if this looks right to you (so dont worry about the rocks on the outside of it or anything).

Paint overs if needed thanks.

[CONCEPT]



[WORKINGS SO FAR]

Flaringo

I'm probably hardly qualified to criticize, but if you're going for accuracy, here's a few things I noticed:

NAIMA

Oh that's a cool and nice concept , Looking foward to see it ...

jimmypopali

@Flaringo - Thanks, I really do see it. I've been working on it and these are useful.

@NAIMA - Thanks mate, I'm pretty keen on this and want it to go as far as I can take it. I'm going to make the back of it and a whole area behind it as well.

SnakeDoctor

Where did you find the concept?

jimmypopali

To be honest, I have no idea. It might have been the /3/ board on 4chan.

SnakeDoctor

Well I really like it and look forward to seeing what you do with it. I might tack this to my future project list but right now I wont try and steal your thunder .

jimmypopali

haha thanks mate. I'm trying to think of ways the player would progress through this area.

Coming up to blockages, crossing the water, scaling the stairs and rising up to the top, crossing the top and scaling back down. Trying to think of puzzles and challenges.

Doesn't look like temple to me. More like gate . But in any case it still look increadibly cool .

I want to comment on the likeness of the balcony but I can't be sure from just the one screen grab. Could we maybe get a top view, or just a higher angle? And sweet concept to work off of; I look forward to seeing more on this.

jimmypopali

Don't worry about the top ornament. Only just started it.

karera

What will u do with it? For real time purposes?

jimmypopali

Please let me know if you see anything wrong. I need to make good progress, don't wanna see a huge screwup at the end.

Oh and I plan to take this into UDK and get a lot more happening.

*edit*
The scale I'm going for.

karera

I think it should be bigger if you compare it to the original concept

jimmypopali

Even though I'm standing up on the platform, your still right, even then it should be bigger

itsmadman

nice needs more detail i think u could use a few more polys, more bevels, and edges. dont worry UDk can handle it. And while in this stage in your project show lighting only screen shots. Im pretty sure we are all tired of that generic UDK texture

jimmypopali

Cool, thanks guys. I'll fix the scale too. I'm just hoping this area is headed in the right direction. I'm thinking scale and placement wise.

jimmypopali

This last one is the back side of it. It is looking over the water area.

jimmypopali

Started texturing a top ruin part.

ErichWK

Those stones are reading a bit like concrete..soft concrete.. why not zbrush and a stone texture more maximum detail?

jimmypopali

Ah yeah thats true, need to get a good stone look for it. Also needing to red it up to use as a base for the others
