Middle East Environment - UDK W.I.P

richwderby

Hi all, I have finally decided to post my middle east environment that I have been working on.

I just wanted to post some pics to see what you think?

Obviously the textures on the buildings are not finished, I want to add dirt/grime etc by using decals. Is this a good way to go?

Decals would be ok to use for grime and whatnot.

Your scene looks to be in the early stages, so its hard to give too much critique....I think you could do more work with the terrain splat map. The sand/rocks tiles quite a bit should be broken up with another texture. Also might want to use a different texture on the mountains.


What kind of lighting are you using? Your buildings look really soft, and evenly lit. You should consider using a dominant directional light to give a little more variety.

Also, I'm not sure what else you plan to add, but your scene is pretty bare. I hope to see you fill it with a bunch of props!

The scene looks promising I don't know how realistic you were hoping to get this but Ill put my two cents in just in case. What language are you using for the building signs? Its not Arabic. Also the trees are way too green and are more fit for a tropical place then a desert.
This and this are an example of the type of tree you would see mostly, and the leafs will be more brown green then vibrant green.

Yeah your right about the trees, I just got them from within UDK. I also plan to change the ground texture to make it more like a road. and of course fill it out with more props and buildings

Just putting up a few random pictures, hoping to get more feedback on my work so far
