maltuna · Oct 2009

Hello PC! Myself and Churro818 are teaming up for unearthly this year. Our basic idea for 'end game' is a deep sea environment, but without any water. Harsh climate, massive earthquakes creating large canyons, water is drying out, sunken ships are now exposed, life is vanishing. We are still working out some loose ends on the story because we have tons of ideas, but we will update that in future posts.

For our look and feel, we have been working on a few ideas.

More to come soon!

That looks great - I like the composition of your first color, but the really skeletal remains and looming rock formations in #3 are awesome. Tonnes of atmosphere in that little concept - keep it up!

I like this idea very much, looking forward to seeing more.

Orgoth02 · Oct 2009

I really like this concept. I was thinking about doing a ship wreck scene but decided to do some else. Im really excited to see some 3d

churro818 · Oct 2009

Hey everyone, I'm Arturo churr0818, been burning the candle light on this one. Anyway I did a higher angle test on our current layout so that it doesn't feel too detached from the environment also played around with more foreground elements like a rare evaporating pond and an anchor wedged into the ground.

Nice to finally see your thread up.

Good luck to you and your team, Altuna

Finally got time to work some stuff out. finalizing whats going into our environment and what not. So I wanted to work out what the sky might look like and also how light could be used to create an overall mood. Going to start doing some modeling tests ASAP! this is a color pass on our scene that I liked might add more ambient light to the final 3d scene though to bring out detail in the models and textures. overall i want to be able to get the same feel out of our scene

oalexis · Oct 2009

very nice concept. The lighting looks fantastic!

ErichWK · Oct 2009

I am in love with the lighting. It's going to look fantastic.

churro818 · Oct 2009

so I'm thinking our man made structures will be based off of western town type of architecture but made out of wood scrap and old boat parts, rock formations will be sort of the foundation for them and were gonna go for modular stuff like wooden beams corrugated plated and other generic building blocks. also i added some stylizing to the buildings that's inspired by the oddworld universe heres some quick sketches for modeling reference

shape · Oct 2009

Awesome, I love the style of architecture you've got going here. I was playing Killzone 2 recently and they do this heavily re-built, re-clad thing with modules very nicely. Lots of character in these.. keep going!

oreokooky · Oct 2009

You haven't lost your touch, Arturo.

Loving it so far.
Can't wait to see more

Target_Renegade · Oct 2009

Really nice concepts you have. I like the sea shanty idea, if its there, docks, old cranes would be really good.

Echo · Oct 2009

Great job of creating interest in that initial concept, tuna! The composition really draws you in. Churro, great lighting pass, I love those colors. The shanty style structures are very cool, nice variety!

professorXXX · Oct 2009

really like the ship concepts...looking forward to seeing this one..

professorXXX · Oct 2009

Churro!!! u are Arturro? someone said it was u?

maltuna · Oct 2009

churro = arturo!

Jesus Nick, do you ever sleep? Your thread is off the chain!

churro818 · Oct 2009

Oh man! Nick you have been spending way too much time in what I call the "z-dimension". yes it is me, Arturo your old pal and coworker. Now go to sleep and dream of z-spheres.

churro818 · Oct 2009

Alright here's my post for the day, decided to break up the environment into three main areas. The half buried oil tanker/cargo ship is the first, then the open river and pond area being the second, and finally the improvised battleship shanty town as the third area. the crane on the battleship has been tricked out to carry heavy cargo and equipment from the scavenging party that goes out to get supplies. if you were a player in this game you would have to activate the crane to get a shipment into the base. but you would be under attack so you have to use the side entrance and activate the battle turrets on the ship for backup. That's kind of what Ive been thinking this late at night ha ha. anyway drew up some stuff to illustrate some main assets for the battleship and refinery areas.

SimonT · Oct 2009

Really great concepts! Love the houses!

cgmodeler · Oct 2009

Felicidades, I really like the concepts, specially the mood, keep up the good work

professorXXX · Oct 2009

Arturro! been missing you man! Great to see you on here. Peter know you are competing? Say hi to everyone over there for me:) How did you and the Tuna hook up? Thanks by the way tuna for the compliment.

I love the new concepts by the way. U got skillz man:)

Now i go to dream of zspheres...hehe

churro818 · Oct 2009

was hoping to get some quality modeling time in this week but I was bombarded with family and had to spend most of my time helping out with entertainment. Anyway I'm currently working on the block out. testing scale, doing geometry stress test, and always on concept duty for future modeling reference. Ive kind of settled on a look for the terrain, more stylized than i was thinking at first but it has a nice cross between pixar and team fortress type rock and land formations. we will probably change a bit of the look as we get more into the modeling so as to not be too animation style.

SimonT · Oct 2009

wow! love the image! great colors....hmmmm sweet!

Famouz · Oct 2009

getting better and better, will follow your great work!

wasker · Oct 2009

kickass koncepts

professorXXX · Oct 2009

ohman! you gonna give justin a run for his money! great job!

RadioActiveKitten · Oct 2009

really awesome concepts! I can't wait to see this in 3d!

Syros · Oct 2009

Hey guys, this thread gonna ROCK!

churro818 · Oct 2009

Huge update! Finally finished our master scene concept. been working on it for small periods of time in between work and home. Its a pretty rough paint and collage to set up assets and composition as well as texture and set focal point. From this image we will pull individual elements and refine them in engine. The process is pretty sick and I'm gonna get everything together this week so that modeling phase can go into full bore. As you can see the initial concept has been morphed to be more unearthly and more epic. The structures are a bit more alien. the main focus is now a large structure to the right that plays into the whole ocean draining idea. more specifics coming soon.

By the way thanks to all of you who have stuck by and watched this thing grow, I appreciate all the positive feedback. 3d models coming up ASAP
