UDK Envionment WIP

Greetings ;) I am an environment/prop modeller. This is my current project . It's a modular environment for UDK. It's going to be a show piece, based on The Strahov Monastery Library in Prague. The lighting is rough still. When I get to the window textures I will be adding emissive properties to create a more realistic lighting situation. I'm cleaning up my AO's and normals. There is still much to do. I was looking for any helpful feedback I can get. http://zen-3d.blogspot.com/

    Hi JenBlack13,

    I believe you're off to a great start geometry wise! One thing that sticks out to me is your bookshelves. The book shelf arrangements look extremely repeated, and I would just suggest giving more variation to the book sizes, spaces inbetween, dividers etc. to help the bookshelves look more believable. I understand that the Strahov Monastery Library has multiple books of the same size, but even they have several differences going on. I think tweaking the sizes or adding a few labels or seals will help it not look so repeated.

    I look forward to seeing more updates on this! :)

    I don't know what your poly budget is, but perhaps making one shelf and a few clusters of books, that you can place and repeat on the shelves? For such a large element of the library the bookshelves are too flat IMO.

    I really like everything else you got so far and look forward to seeing it completed.
