Low Poly Environment Diorama

Pixelatedkiwi

We have started doing 3D art challenges at my studio to have something other than our studio work to have fun with and help grow our skills. For our first one we are using the Blizzard student art competition (not entering obviously, just doing the competition guidlines). The competition guide-lines are basically to make a small structure diorama that would fit into the World of Warcraft Art style.

As some of these challenges will be setup to push us in areas we normally wouldn't be doing, or haven't had a lot of experience in, I thought it'd be great to share mine with the Polycount community for some extra C&C.

I wanted to make mine look as though it would fit into the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft, Mists of Pandaria. I've finished the main structure, next up will be the environment to go with it, I shall try to keep this thread updated with progress.

Thanks for looking

This is cool, I really like the lanterns. I'm questioning the different materials on stairs and the use of wood on the base. I would imagine that the base would be made completely out of stone rather than adding some logs in the middle of the stone slabs.

Also the stairs look a bit funny with the yellow tiles on them. I might make the stairs also out of the gray stone. I do really like the color that the wood adds to the base though. Looks good dude.

Thanks for the feedback, I was wondering about the wood, I really wanted to introduce a different material to break up the stone, but I might try out a stone texture to see how it goes.

Ok made some of those changes and I think it does look a lot better, so thanks again for the feedback . From a construction point of view it makes more sense too. Next up I'll get to work on the terrain base.
