Abandoned Trainyard

jordan.kocon

Seeing as I am currently unemployed and looking for work and have no organic pieces in my portfolio, I figured I would try and make a nice organic environment. I am creating an abandoned Train station based off this concept http://cghub.com/files/Image/090001-091000/90600/465_realsize.jpg by Artyom Vlaskin.

I have never created foliage or trees, so hopefully this ends up being a solid portfolio piece, and not a half finished abysmal fail!

Here is what I have for a block-out. It really isn't much, but I really want to make sure to have the correct scale. Can anyone see any issues with it so far?

Thanks in advance,

- Jordan

A small update. Adding more detail all around, still trying to get the scale down. Tomorrow I will be making the high poly of... something.

Really nice blockout, feels much better with the tree in there. The front of the building looks a little bland (not eh building itself, the decking) I assume you'll probably add chairs or something there anyway but i thought id mention it.

Keep updating!

SaferDan

nice! That new blockout is awesome! I need to get some more organic stuff in my folio too so I hope to learn some stuff! I loook forward to this!

Skillmister

That's an awesome concept to work from, will be following this.

Darkleopard: Yea I'll be adding the destroyed/crumbled bit in the middle of it which should add some interest. And Ill add some old vending machines or something to add interest.

SaferDan: I have never done organic stuff, but I am doing a lot of research. So if you have any questions about what I'm doing feel free to ask

Skillmister: Thanks!

Here is an update, it doesn't look like much but I spent the last day doing it... I am taking a different approach to this than previous levels I have done. I am more or less creating the finished (or almost finished) low polys before making the high polies.

The main building and tower are more or less complete. I am going to move onto the grass and plants so the scene seems more complete. C&C welcome.

from the first image that was posted about this i was not sure how this would unfold and with the latest images posted im liking the way its going keep up the good work.

also forgot to mention within the background of the image i would have rusty old trains some on there side or upside down so it like abandoned or something. just an idea really.

jjsuperspy: Cheers You can see the blocked in trains on the left. I fully intend to add them just like in the concept, I am just working on other stuff right now.
