[WIP] Environment for a fight game

Ganon · Jan 2012

/!\SCHOOL WORK/!\

Hi Polycount! This is the first time i'm posting my work in polycount so i think i have to do a little presentation. I am a student in real time computer graphics in a belgian school and i am in the last year before get my degree.

For this final year, we have to do a final exams work in team. My team is composed with 3 artists and 2 programmers. We are doing a demo of a fight game and i am responsible for the entire environment.

I created the concept art for the ring, which is a slab made with a futuristic maya style.I used a lot of time to create this concept, I apologize, i'm not a really good concept artist.
The impressive Benoit Ferriere (Mirof) concept art which was sculpted by Michael Vicente (Orbart) was one of my influences.

Any critics, suggestions, advices are welcome to help me. I will not change the concept art. I need your advices for sculpt and texturing especially.

Thank you for your futures answers

.

PS: i will started the sculpt
PS2: Sorry for my bad english ... I'm a belgian

PS3: No ... I prefer Snes or PC gaming

_FIGHT_ game

I was sitting here thinking "what the hell are people flying over in this game"

That looks really cool, good luck!

Hi Ganon. Your concept art is really cool, good composition, i really love it !

How did you do your concept ? With illustrator ?

Na if you look closer he's added dents and scratches on top I would prefer doing them in zbrush the painting them onto the normal

A nice idea would be that you could maybe tell a story in the damage I mean adding cracks in is great but maybe have a little section a bit flatter then the rest where a really powerful slam hit, maybe try and paint a hint of ingrained blood into the cracks, like its been hosed but its not coming out fully

@ Hydralord : Ty buddy, i used photoshop with an high resolution and high DPI

@ Hboybowen : I prefer zbrush, ndo2 is cool for futuristic art like metal plate (it's my personal view)

@ purkie103 : Yeah, i can do that. I'm afraid to do powerfull slam hit with the mirror repetition. I will try with the sculpt.

Hi polycounter and polycounteresse !

I post the first step of my stab. I Do a lot of high frequences cracks. When i will finish all of the stab, i put more "big" cracks.

Advices ?

Hi Polycount !

Thanks to you Mirof it's very cheerful to have constructive critics from someone like you as my main referenvr. Here an update of my sculpting work

EDIT: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7394495/WIP_polycount/dalle_06.jpg

It's a RGB grabber from Zbrush with 2 / 3 differents matcap assembled in photoshop.

Nice work.

How did you do all your illustration details on your sculpt?

Did you drag alpha's over it? or sculpt it all with brushes>?

Cheers!

Ganon · Feb 2012

Little update of my sculpt.

I use differents brushes for the "cracks" sculpt

. Standard brushes and custom brushes.

Thank for your interest

Where those whole pieces masked and deflated from a piece of Vector Art from Illustrator?

Ganon · Feb 2012

In reality, I used photoshop with a big resolution. Once finished my concept art, I cut the image into differents masks for different parts. The "pink part" (see picture above) was composed in four parts with four masks. If I was doing with a single mask, my pc took fire

I hope you understood my bad english..

UPDATE /!\

Wow, nice progression ! I want to see your texturing !

Ganon · Mar 2012

Hey Polycount, this is my last update .. How do you think about it ?

Snader · Mar 2012

Please tell me you've only build the lowpoly for the outer ring, and the inner things are still placeholder meshes.

Ganon · Mar 2012

I only do a "real" low poly for the outer ring. Maybe that i'm going to do a texture vertex blending in the inner ring (depend if the engine can do that). Accordingly I will optimise in the futur (vertex blending or not, split mesh for the engine, etc)

The diffuse central slab is not over, too uniform. And I think restart again the large blocks, something is wrong.
