[STAGE] Street Fighter - Inland Jungle - rambooze

rambooze · Mar 2011

Hey guys! My arena is Inland Jungle from Street Fighter. I'm going to remake it to a some forest lake somewhere in the Russian remote place. Birches, church... I hope it'll be good. Good luck to all.

Cool plans, Russian churches are awesome.

It reminds me of some great reference photos by a guy named Mikhail Tkachev that I found a while back.

Best of luck.

wow thanks! Great photos, it'll helps me a lot.

Hey. Update - made blockmesh and working on church at this moment.

rambooze · Apr 2011

Hey guys. Level is underway. Here is an update. Plants, plants, plants....

Nice work, men. Very nice redesign. However I think church looks a bit out of place. May be some kind of wooden house would looks more appropriate.

rambooze · Apr 2011

Thanks Inpw. Yeah I was thinking about that, I even had a wooden house in a first sketch iteration. But it didn't convey the Russian nature of the level. It was just pond with a house. But I want the Zagnief has his own distinct map and church represents Russia very well.

Looks nice, love the idea of Russian stage

Maybe you should try wooden chirch, they are awesome.

There`s nothing more Russian than that

Also you could add some wooden fences and a well.

MasteroftheFork · Apr 2011

I agree with ltd, those wooden churches would fit the scene well while still lookign very russian. Plus they look very unique an interesting.

rambooze · Apr 2011

Okay guys you beat me

I'll try to pull that off. There is enough time left so I can handle it.

Erigo · Apr 2011

Good job dude! Keep going

Sharvo · Apr 2011

Hey looking good man, the sky is looking a bit desaturated, i think! Like where this is going, keep it up!

rambooze · Apr 2011

Thanks guys for your support, really appreciate.
2Sharvo: Yeah agree, I'm going to fit the skies a bit later.
Well, I've done a mesh of the wooden church and before texturing decided to compare two ones. What do you think, which one is better?

roosterMAP · Apr 2011

there's a lack of "stuff." You cant just have a field as a background. It may look nice in real life, but in game, it just looks empty. Also, i'd advise you make the church amazingly detailed, and move it closer to the camera (thus also making the lat a little smaller). Having just water in you mid-ground is kinda boring.

Thanks for your crit. I haven't said that the level is done. There will be couple smaller buildings, plus a lot of small stuff like fences, stones and few different kinds of trees. In general I want to get beautiful atmospheric picture instead of extra-detailed mess.

This is not about which one is better, it just really doubtful that you'll find church like that somewhere in the middle of nothing, next to swamp. So the wooden church is definitely more suitable for this location. But for those who live in other countries, there might not be any difference.

tsuki119 · Apr 2011

being honest, i think the last one looks better, not sure why. maybe more diverse shapes.

i agree with linkov as well.

rambooze · May 2011

Hey guys. It's been long delay, didn't have any time for posting updates. I think I'm approaching to the end, I want to add just few spruces and may be some grass bunches. Also I'm going to add some small details to the bridge, there is only one untextured rope piece still

d1ver · May 2011

Hey, man, solid update! Just an idea: some foreground insects swirling around the typhas would look pretty cool. Also the overall contrast is pretty stark and the sky looks like it suffered some jpeg compression and is a bit low rez. But I'm pretty sure you'll make it shine before the deadline, good luck with this!

2d1ver
Yeah man, all your crit goes right to the point. Thanks a lot. Working on it...

rambooze · May 2011

Little update. Added some spruces, fixed up skies and played a bit with contrast.

Katori · May 2011

That looks incredible, that's almost surpassing the original. Maybe add some more to the background, past your current horizon? Give us an update.

Thanks pal. I added some bushes and trees to the background and have submitted already. So you can check out final images in the submission thread. Everybody thanks for your support, it was nice challenge.
