Meckenburg - The Sky City

Just finished my reel for an Unreal Map a friend and I worked on last year. Based on a joining of concepts we we're both tossing around

Would love C&C

Thanks!

Decided to change this to a place to put work I'm doing rather than a specific projet.

Added some work to it.

Nice, looks pretty neat overall. The presentation of the individual modular pieces irks me a little bit though. The spec/lighting is making everything look really shiny and cheap. It all looks much better in UDK though. Maybe consider working on that...or even just getting footage of the pieces spinning in UDK so they match.

Good to see you working on a grid like that. Awesome stuff.

@gsokol
Agree with you about the spec stuff. Never used fraps or anything before and I couldn't get a steady frame rate out of camstudio or anything else, so I had to run a render.

@Cordell Thanks!!

Update on the pillar

arvinmoses

The low-poly pillar with normal map.


Sculpted in zbrush, used topogun for topology.
Did each piece Capstone, body, and base separately.
UVs in XSI
Exported out UV in one piece, then xnormal (great program!) to project the decimated high poly mesh on the low poly pillar.

Results:
636 Tris

16bit

There is a rather noticeable seam down the middle of that corner.
