WIP - Sci-Fi Corridor, With a British Twist.

LMP

I figured I'd get in on this sci-fi corridor craze with something a little more... mad.

I was watching the fantastic episode of Doctor Who penned by Neil Gaiman, where we got to see some more of the tardis, and we were treating this boring old thing...



So, recently I did a little searching and dug up this fantastic official concept art for doctor who by Peter Mckinstry.



Below is a collage of my first round of primary references.


I'll also be drawing heavily on corals for the more organic elements of the scene, I don't know why, but they've loved the coral theme for the TARDIS in the new series.

YES! Looking forward to this.

Do this. Now. I want to see this done. Thank you.

Crashing along on the blockout/base mesh... took me a while to figure out how I'd go about this... I think I like how I'm doing it... still very WIP of course...

Saman

I like this. Reminds me of Lexx for some reason(was it brittish)
Keep it up!

LMP

the most tedious part of the organics structure is done! (popping the rest of the holes into the organic structure with bridge faces in maya.

What I've got now a very rough massing to get started on the sculpt. Lots of refinement to do!



I do believe that Mudbox has a different FOV, and that is why it looks different, the maya FOV is set to match the FOV in UDk.

LMP

starting to feel good about this sculpt, had to deal with the suck when I started this... but overcame the suck when this started to begin taking shape... a little concerned about the high freq detail... already at 8mil polys.

Looking great so far. Looking forward to updates dude

Hopefully I will survive the UV'ing process that I'm doing right now... I'm so glad I discovered Maya's "Select Shortest Edge Path Tool"

It seams to oval compared to the concept. hopefully you modeled it flat and then put a bend modifier on it so it would be easy to unwrap :-) hopefully!

I came here expecting kettles and teabags. Or a monocle or two. DISSAPOINTED!

Looking cool..I really like the concept.

good luck.

Well, that bake came out ok, definitely going to add some detail textures to the material I do in UDK.



Not 100% a copy on the concept but I feel like it gets the gist of it, at least the hard part's done... and I can get onto the stuff I'm more into, like hard surface.
