Robot Hunter Lodge - UDK environment

sprunghunt · Apr 2010

I like a good visual joke or two so I'm making this level.

Here's a WIP screenshot showing the general idea.

All textures and models are placeholder and the lighting is pretty rough too.

doeseph · Apr 2010

The screen shot is a bit small to see anything, but it sounds like a great idea. From what I can see the style looks really cool too.

jmiles · Apr 2010

yeah definitely can't wait to see more.. room is a fun shape.. i feel like there needs to be racks of alien heads, or robots, or whatever you want your hunter to hunt.. keep it up

SgtNasty · Apr 2010

Looks pretty cool. As the other guys were saying , the coolest part of this so far is the shape of the room. The only thing that looks a bit weird to me is the back wall, with the shelves in front of it. Just a nitpick, but I think there is probably a way to integrate that shelf a bit better.

Here's a Hipoly for the robot head hanging on the wall:

EDIT: updated with revised antennae

ZacD · May 2010

Tiny well planed blocked out image (bad constant and lighting, its too dark)

Awesome high poly work, I'll definitely be watching this.

Wiktor · May 2010

I really dig the high poly head.
Great shapes!

System · May 2010

Robot looks cool, does it have a function or just for show?
ps: the robot antenna look too plain, how about some metal like this? link

sprunghunt · May 2010

the robot is a trophy kill - like a deer head - so it doesn't really do anything.

I was thinking the antennas needed something to jushe them up. Thanks for the suggestion.

time for an update:

It's a hipoly pillar!

ZacD · Jun 2010

I'm digging the style, what kind of references are you looking at? kinda looks a bit art deco,

paulsvoboda · Jun 2010

Ha! Enjoying the excitement "!"
The pillar looks great. Very nice style, simple with some nice shapes. Only thing I will say is that you should consider how you will bake these pieces out into a low poly. Right now it looks like it will be fine without going too high poly but its a mistake I've made too many times too feel like I've learned anything from it - building something that looks good high but uses to many poly's to justify being low.
Anyways, what you have right now should be perfectly fine and I do really like the style. Good luck with the rest.

when you absolutely have to shoot a robot dead...

ZacD · Jul 2010

That is a kick ass gun, original and has lots of style. Keep up the great work.

Xendance · Jul 2010

How do you aim with the gun, considering that the magazine seems to be blocking the front sight, and there's no back sight.

Looks like a simple point and click interface to me

butt_sahib · Jul 2010

Yeah the high-poly objects are coming along nicely.
Just make sure they settle in nicely with whole grand scheme of the original concept (big blurry brushes before going in with smaller hard-edged brushes is what i always say :P)

What I mean is that nobody in the real world would ever do a weapon like that (well, maybe the brits).

Mark Dygert · Jul 2010

The high poly objects are looking really good.

Once I adjusted the brightness/contrast I could see what the scene looked like, I like what I see.

well it looks kind of like a compact chain gun / minigun, and since there is never a sight on an unmounted gun of that type, i think it works.

a chair!

I may give it a cushion later...

EVIL · Aug 2010

that is a very nice render of your props, could you share how you rendered it out?

All the renders I've posted in this thread so far have been using the 'shiny dark' mental ray shader from this thread:

Fang · Aug 2010

Love the highpoly work so far.. Can't wait to see more!

cholden · Aug 2010

That'll bake a normal! Like the chair.

danshewan · Aug 2010

I love that chair and your pillar - awesome high-poly work.

The only thing that bothers me about the scene in general is that, to me, it doesn't look anything like how I picture a hunting lodge to look. I don't mean the props like the mounted robot head and crossed rifles (also cool), but the overall feel. Right now, it looks more like a bedroom than a hunting lodge.

Maybe it'll be a different story when you're a little closer to finishing it and we've got some proper lighting and different views of the room. Either way, looking forward to seeing where you go with it.

sprunghunt · Aug 2010

Here's the highpoly for the roll-top desk.

SimonT · Aug 2010

awesome

arun · Aug 2010

Awesome Style.. Nice Assets..

MeintevdS · Aug 2010

Good job on the high poly models, they look awesome.

I have to agree with danshewan that it's giving off a bedroom vibe rather than a hunter lodge so far, but since you've just started I might be speaking to soon

The models you've posted look promising

I know what you both mean. It's supposed to be a sort of hunting cabin where the hunter goes after a hard day hunting robots. I guess it's not really a lodge at the moment. Or if it is it's a bedroom or study in the lodge and not the main room where the fire and couches are.

I think the assets I'm making should be flexible enough that if I wanted to it would be possible to make a room like that later

Karmageddon · Aug 2010

I like how non-scifi looking the props are because it really says that the person dwelling in the lodge isn't one of the robots. The chair is just beautiful.

brief explanation: this is a severed robot foot which the robot hunter has hollowed out and is using as a place to store a shotgun.

Snight · Sep 2010

Really digging the style!

Yeah, it really shouldnt be that dark. Cannot see anything~~ Brighten it up like above mate. high poly stuff looks good. Clean stuff!

BlvdNights · Sep 2010

Your high poly objects are sooooo good and yet I can't see any of that with the lighting you have. Also. that red is taking away as well.

A lot more than just the Bren, about 4-5 others.

Anywho... back on subject.
The high poly modeling is looking great, I love the hallowed out leg idea, total big game hunter stuff. Keep up the great work!

Mistry10 · Sep 2010

wow ! great high poly work !

Kevin Johnstone · Sep 2010

Love the continuity of design style, you do a really good job of branding things and keep a bold clean motif running throughout

Really loving the style. Looking forward to more updates.

Another one of the robot hunters trophies or keepsakes. A severed robot arm.

it's very handy to have around...

roosterMAP · Nov 2010

great job on the arm!

also, love the pun!
"it's very handy to have around...

paulsvoboda · Nov 2010

I love the consistency and style of the objects you have so far. Very strong pieces. I would love to start seeing you throw this into UDK and build up the scene more.

Seanfac3 · Dec 2010

This is gunna be shhaaawwweeeet... I am looking forward to seeing this finished! Nice work so far.

ajr2764 · Dec 2010

Been watching this thread for a while now, love the style of it and that arm is bad ass. You have some solid modeling skills, perhaps you could post some wires of the hi-poly because I'd like to see some of the construction. How do you go about doing some of the ornant parts you have like on the desk and draw?
