Pandaren Brewery

Jessica Dinh

Hey guys! Thought I might have some fun with a little fan art!

Concept by Blizzard:



Here's my model. It's going to use tileable textures, and I may bring it into UDK to set up the water and whatnot. I'm giving it a bit higher tri-budget than what you would see in game (roof tiles are geo, etc). It's currently 14,062 tris, but it isn't remotely optimized or cleaned up yet (ngons abound!!), so I expect the tri count to be drastically lower once I'm done.

*note: the plank walkway will be broken up a bit for character after I've got the texture on it.

Just wanted to post this up for critique and comments before I move further. Thanks in advance!

fuzzio

I'm really liking the concept, good start with the block out to

Stromberg90

I have been staring at this for a long time just to find something to critic on, but damn you I can't come up with anything
Looks really sweet, I feel so useless when I can come up with something to improve on

marq4porsche

Looks like a great start, I can't wait to see where you go with this.

Jessica Dinh

fuzzio - Thanks!

Stromberg90 - If you can't find something, that's even better. LOL.

marq4porsche - I can't wait either ahaha. As it is, not sure what colors and textures I'll be using yet, as I'll need to study the Pandaren palette and materials a bit more. Gonna be an adventure! :poly142:

Seirei

Wow that was a quick start! No I feel horribly slow for taking 3 days to get way less done with my project.

But I'll keep an eye out for this, looks inspirational!

i know it can turn out to be over kill but maybe make it so the interior is there too?... just came to my mind when i looked at the door which cant open xD. but rock solid blockout so far !

im lookin forward to how it turns out too.
cheers

JGcount

Looks amazing already. Since you have modeled all other ropes, I would say you missed the one holding the two twin barrels just above the main entrance

marq4porsche

Yeah, you're color choices and textures are going to be what really sells it. I'm thinking lots of red and gold with some greens and brown.

romy

really nice concept, impatient to see how you're going to organize your textures and how you'll manage your lighting Are you going to expand the environment around ?

Hayden Zammit

Model looks great Jessica. What sort of tri count are you aiming at?

Visceral

Sweet stuff cant wait!

Jessica Dinh

Seirei, Visceral - Thank you! :]

Next - You know what . . . that is a really tempting idea . . . I want to focus on the exterior for now, but I just might tackle designing an interior to match the style when I am done :poly124: Thanks for the suggestion!

itismario, JGcount - Doh! Completely missed that stuff! Thanks for lookin' out haha.

marq4porsche - Yes, I will be sure to give this material research stage the full attention it deserves.

romy - I'm going to expand the environment just enough to fill the close-up shot I've got going now. Maybe some grassy bank meshes up front and a matte painting for the bg!

Hayden - Not aiming for a specific tri-count, per se - just want to make sure the model looks reasonable in the end and isn't wasting any tris. I'll basically use however many tris I need to acquire a nice silhouette!

Jeff Parrott

Like the silhouette. You might want to get fancy at the end and do a low poly version mirrored vertically to read as a reflection. Super easy trick and works really well for things like this.

JR

Yeah, it's incredibly faithful to the concept. Can't wait to see the textures!

g2000

Wow awesome start, judging by your previous thread (The Wells) this is gonna be amazing,i'll be watching this one develops for sure

Alberto Rdrgz

fuck that, do some highpolys... DO EM! it'll push your stuff so far it's not even funny.

Bah... a lot of people are doing extremely complex hipolys nowadays. Let's go old school here

chrisradsby

Damn girl, you know how to follow a concept. Can't wait to see the finished piece !

:poly136:i get yah! but i want to see her hand painted stuff on top of some normals lol

Delvolta

wow, amazing. can't wait to see it textured

slipsius

Great start to a thread! I wonder where it will end up? An airport maybe? maybe a mountain shack? hehe jk. Ill be watching

Vorge

Accuracy to the concept is excellent, I am very interested in seeing your texture treatment for this!

Zyloh

Nice!!

Tigerfeet

You blockout so quickly it makes my head spin. Is there any wisdom you'd like to share regarding your process?

Chimp

can't wait to see the final piece, you are by far my favourite artist on the boards. I can't find any fault at all really right now but I'd say that the plank that heads off toward the lower left corner could be individual planks and it's a bit wider than in the concept but you are just blocking out so I am sure it is going to be fine.

Iciban

wow i can't wait for the final piece. keep it up

System

So much awesome is destined to arrive in this thread.

Watching!

Dr Stench

Likeness is quite good. Have you thought about the texture? The concept art is very incomplete.

eazy

looks great! definitely following now

hathol

looks great so far! i'm looking forward to some more excellent tileable texture tips. i'm still wrapping my head around it all but can't wait to see what you do with this. I personally love all of the new concept art for pandaria that they came out with. its a nice blend of wow and asian culture.

Logan5

Looking good Jessica, you really nailed the concept. I agree with Alberto though, maybe you could do highpolys just for some of the larger sections.

Andreas

Excellent start, I would say give the door more segments, not so jaggy, as it will be eye level. Don't worry about modelling an interior, most games have buildings you can't go into
