[STAGE] Guilty Gear XX Slash, Frasco, ParoXum-

ParoXum

I'm going to take this wonderful piece of art into the future. I'm aiming to make a clean spaceship station in white/grey/black +reflection type of material everywhere, color being handled by IBL-like lighting and glow effects.

Latest Update;



Blockout

paulsvoboda

Looking forward to this! All your environments are hugely inspiring and I love watching your progress through them.

ParoXum

Some quick sketches, a pilar, a kind of sofa, and a ramp. Trying to stay away from over detailed props aswell.



And a new one, stairs and bay:

Jeff Parrott

Great idea! Love a sci-fi redesign. Maybe look at the movie Riddick. They have a spacey temple in there. Not as clean as you want to go though.

linkov

somehow I don't see any pictures

edit: got links from IE, but it seems that http://uppix.net/ doesn't allow access to anything. maybe its country related (I'm in Russia). would be great if you can do something about it

ParoXum

linkov: This is really weird, you're the first one that ever has this problem, and I always used this host since I post on PC. That's annoying.

jeffro: good idea about riddick, I remember good moments watching that film. Maybe it'll find some stuff to put in.

Kay guys, got a first block-out done, really rough but it sorted the perspective at least. It's all symmetric at the moment but it'll change.

Inpw

It's sad but I'm second who cannot see your images. From Russia too.

S2Engine

Originally I was thinking of doing something similarly clean and scifi, and some inspiration that was really gelling for me was the Axiom in Wall-E. Also you might want to check out Killzone 3's Space Station area for the lighting-based color idea, I thought they pulled that off pretty well.

Jeff Parrott

Looking great so far. Love the color scheme. What's your FOV on the camera set at?

ParoXum

Jeffro: Thanks, trying to get a good lighting idea before the rest. FOV is set to 90° there, to match UDK's one.

S2Engine: yeah wall-e is a good example of how I want the materials to look. Will have a look at KZ3's level

To all my Russia mates, I moved all the pictures to dropbox, and it should display well now.

thanks! after what you did for BEAT-EM-UP contest, I'm watching this thread closely for sure

ParoXum

Here's an update on the blockout, tried to nail a first pass of details and shapes, and see what's working and what's not.



Crits welcome

Inpw

ParoXum Thanks, man. Now I can see that it will be great entry. Good luck!

Jeff Parrott

Looking great! Have you tried bringing the FOV down a bit?

ParoXum

If I bring the FOV down I lose the ceiling, which makes hardly any sense on this piece I'm afraid.

Last update today, stairs and windows, still have to figure out what to to with the focal point.

Ben Apuna

This is moving along nicely. I didn't quite get were you were going with this at first, but now I do.

I'm looking forward to seeing more, keep it up!

S2Engine

Looking awesome already, I love it. Glad I changed my concept, would've gotten stomped all over by this one!

Jeff Parrott

Looks great! Yeah losing the ceiling is ashame. It just feels like it's getting a bit skewed or something with that FOV angle. But your forms in place so far are awesome.

Bal

Great start! Watch out your signature is gonna start getting long at this pace.

ParoXum

Another blocking update, trying to get a path for the eyes around the scene, ideally, you'de start reading from the openned door on the right to the holographic panels in the front center, then to the -to be made' main focal point on the bay to the '42'. I'll need time to sort this out.

I added the sofas, reworked wall panels and ceiling, the bay style is still completely temporary.



Bal: Thanks man, looking forward myself into making this scene a strong piece after the be-rushed Beat'em up

S2Engine: you should have kept Frasco if it was your first idea, I don't see why you'd have to change to a stage you like less, we can all go in total different directions for the same stage!

Ben Apuna: Cheers, yeah since I'm terrible at concepting things, it must have been hard to see where I go.

Mark Dygert

THis is coming together great!

Oh nah it was the other way around; I was going to take this stage I'm working on and re-imagine it in a similar style to what you're currently doing, with lots of reflective white scifi tiles/paneling etc. I'm actually really excited about the direction I eventually chose, but seeing yours coming together so well is very inspiring!

SnakeDoctor

Hey, I have been trying to do modular railing like yours that curves into an S shape like the one you currently have. How did you go about making it stick to the grid? The scene is really coming together quite nicely by the way, are the screenshots taken in 3dsMax?

wizo

Looking awesome!!! very fast too.Great job.

Emil Mujanovic

Whoa, this is really coming along great!

MortalJohn

When does somone have time to work this quickly!?! It almost looks like you'll have a finnished piece in another day

ParoXum

Final Blocking update I think. I think I have modelled enough details to give me a list of the assets to create.



And no, it's not Darth Vador (You wish:poly142:)

Thanks everybody for your interest!

MortalJohn: Well I started on Thursday I think, and worked an average of 2 hours a day since. It's pretty fast to model a block out of sci-fi elements.

SnakeDoctor: You mean the ground I guess? And yes, all screenshots were taken from the viewport till now, and shooped.

Have a look at a single asset, it's tiling and snaping on 256uu:

SnowInChina

coming along nicely

rambooze

Great! Keep going this way.

leslievdb

great mood already, curious how this will turn out

JostVice

Looking awesome, can't wait for the final product, the style in the block ups is awesome, loving it

Jeff Parrott

Looks fantastic so far! Really like the floor and the statue in the back.

Inpw

Man. you realy fast!

fearian

This is looking really, really cool ParoXum! how much of those shots is photoshop vs how much is max? I'm guessing the glowing stuff is PS?

Maph

Man, you work fast! Really cool so far, can't wait to see moar!

xenaxis

Damn it, you're too fast, this is amazing! can't wait to see the updates with final assets. Great job !

Firebert

Been meaning to chime in on this one. Love where it is going! Nice blockout and flow. Looking forward to more.

cholden

It took a lot of work, but I found this thread! And it was worth it. This is already looking great. Good luck!

WillMac

looks amazing so far... keep on it!

Cordell Felix

dude..whoa

onelunglewis

This is looking great man keep it up!!!

Makkon

42 = the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

This is solid, man. Love everything about it.

itsmadman

awesome. its starting to look alot less like a church and more like a labrotory is this on purpose. Either way keep it up

ParoXum

Not much of an update: I got the thing into the UDK, to try some of the stuff I will need like reflections. And as usual, some of the features dont work in tiledshots like the Dynamic scene reflection capture actor.. And do not want to move to March version because it's stinky atm.

Lighting is temporary, as well as emissive stuff. I really dont like how it looks at the moment, I hope to fine tune this during the contest.


Any paintover appreciated.

Andrew Mackie

I love the floor tiles on this scene. Everything is looking great and I really like the shapes and forms, they are all fitting really nicely.

Jeff Parrott

Looks great so far. You have a ton of time to refine this.

Color scheme is great though stick with that please.

I really like the a symmetry in the environment. Very subtle at first which is great.

Can't wait to see your progress.

ParoXum

Thanks guys, havent had a lot of time for the contest this weekend! Now I'm back at it, and I just finished a first HP of a pillar, maybe more during night.

itsmadman

ohh thats sexy, u know makeing sharp curvy things is not as easy as the average person would think maybe after the contest you can go over how you got such a clean curve

ParoXum

itsmadman:I can explain you in a few word how the curve is made, I start from a spline describing the curve of the pillar, then sweep it with a profile of my choice or just the box profile, and then extrude-model everything, add control edges and that stuff. Could also have achieved the same pillar working it straight then 'bend modifier' it, but I was working dirty today.

Update,

rambooze

The pillar is very stylish. I like it.

ParoXum

Another update, things are easy to make, it's always smooth surface with minimum details going on.

Here's a bit of wall HP,
