(UDK WIP) Saloon

Alright, I haven't really had any practice with wood textures so I figured the best way to try it is to create a level with mostly wood.

This is the concept I'm aiming for, although the vision of my end result is a more of a dark and creepy feel.

I just finished the absolute basic block out, just so I could get a feel for scale and spacing and whatnot.


It's not exact but it seems to be fine for now. This is also a test to see how efficient I can work. In the past I would either not finish a project or work on it extremely slow. SO hopefully everything goes well.

Just got done with the wall and floor textures. Next I'll start modeling the bar and stuff.

try to get your floor and ceiling to tile.

In the concept art the space feels very intimate where in your scene it feels more like large hall or something. For instance the the whole bar counter looks much smaller (but bulkier) in the concept. I realize it is partly because, well, there are no props yet at all, but still something feels a bit off.

Could be the perspective playing tricks on my eyes though.

Move up the ceiling, following the concept art. Maybe it's a perspective illusion but the bar looks too long and not high enough. There's also a little space between the stairs and the wall, just look at the pillar on the side of the stair. Also, low down the 2nd floor, the top of the stair is suppose to be able to reach the floor already.

your overall blockout is too large. Scale it back to get the mood of the concept.
I'd like to second Pixelz comment, and agree that you need to get your tiling correct to match the concept as well.

Lastly, I'd like to know where you found this concept. I know the girl who created it.

it looks like a hallway because it is missing that foreground or middleground pillar. Also the woodplanks are large compared to the concept and also comparing them to the bar counter. Like someone else here said, try to make the wood planks tileable.

@SouthpawSid Oh yeah sorry. I got it from CGHub. The artists who drew it goes by koucha. I'll update the first post.

@everyone Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I'll get to fixing the scale and tiling here in a little bit. It was just hard for me to find the right balance between a real life scale, and the scale of the concept.

the ceiling goes all the way to the wall that is on the backside of the bar in the concept. Also i think the camera angle is throwing people off a bit, but that's an easy fix of course.

Scizz

Alright, I attempted to fix the scale and feel. It's not perfect, but I feel its an improvement from the first.

ranger_park

yea. This one looks a lot better.

SouthpawSid

nice update. keep em comming!

Looking nice! If you're trying to match the concept then I'd say the wood could be a lot less orange and more brown. Also the floor and ceiling still tiles too much, try and match the scale of the planks you have going for the walls.
