Hey Guys, im working on an Game Environment by following a Concept done by Andreas Rocha (Link)

PLEASE, ANY Critique IS MORE THEN WELCOMED!! I want to learn!

Latest Update, Still WIP

concept


While blocking out stuff and importing it to UDK, i get alot of Pinching.

See picture Below.

Anybody know what can cause this problem? (I haven't UV'ed anything yet).

I'll load up wireframe and also a simple render picture showing you how far i've come (or how short..).

Make sure the vertices are welded 1st, then if they are, its probably a lightmap thing.

Like the poster above said, double check that you don't have two verts there. If not it's just a lightmap issue, because you don't have any UVW's on channel 2(channel 1 in UDK since UDK starts at 0).

cheers, just checked that everything was wielded, it's probebly just Lightmap issue.
Thanks guys!

yeah, i know i work really really slowly. But i really want to finish this project! And i'd rather take my time and re-doing stuff so they look as i want then rushing in and ruin it. A little render of how the town is shaping up to be.



The thought behind this environment is basically learn to finish stuff i start.
Well except for that, it'll be my project to continue learning to use the Maya tools and Photoshop to texture. This is a project i really really really want and need to finish. So Any crituques are welcomed. PS! Learn how to play around with it in UDK DS!



So the process.

* Reference (Done, basically)
* Blockout (WIP)
* Modelling
* UVW
* Texture

I want to use this as a game Environment for my portfolio!

Best Regards and Happy Easter

Hi , good job on the blockout so far .. you have tot take care about the scale because it's very important . and chage the camer angle to match the concept to get idea about the hole environment . good job , can't wait to see more

Got any idea on how to work the Camera thingy so it matches the whole environment better?

I think what ayoub44 was getting at is the camera isn't making the street look long enough. You can change the camera FOV in the console command or change it in the script file. Play around with it and see what you can come up with

cheers, will try that one out. But i thought he meant that i should make my camera similar to the FOV in the concept, so i can notice the change while working in Maya.= )

Look good so far , this shot is realime ? .. i hope that you are using tiling textures for texturing . in this one you have a lot of tiling texture and use decals to add dirts .. ect and modular pieces , i hope this help

I'm having a really really reaaaaaally hard time thinking how i should texture this thing. Should i just go with texturing every building seperate? or should i use tiled Textures?? Any tips i'd appreciate!!

ayoub44

ok , i'm going to try to help you

when texturing this environment . you should use tiling textures because you have a lot
of building and you can't make for each building a unique textures . you have maybe five
building ( for each one 1024*1024 maps ) that a lot for a game environment so should you
use a couple texture to make the job done ;

here is a examlpe :


the idea is to use one texture and try to to texture one or two building or three whit it ; if you are going
to use udk you can use material editor to change color of texture to make it look like
unique i hope this help
and hope someone replay and explain to you better and sorry for my bad english

cheers ayoub. Always.helpfull!!!!
