Senior Project Environments

Samuraidragon13 · May 2013

Hi, everyone. I am going into my final year of school at the Art Institute of California Sacramento and am starting my senior project which will be used for my graduation portfolio next yr. Right now I am in my Senior Project Planning class which is where we break down everything we are going to work on for 22 weeks in Project 1 and 2. My plan is create two environments one small interior and one large exterior. Please feel free to critique my work as it can help me get better.

I can't see any of your images.

Here are some reference sheets for my environments. My small environment is going to be a sci-fi tavern called Tavern of the Wolves and is meant to be for an RPG style game. My large environment is going to be a jungle village called Spirit's Province.

Yeah sorry BARDLER I had to make some adjustments to the images to get them online.

Use an image hosting site like imgur to post your images.

I think you should do one small exterior or one small interior and really knock it out of the park. Aim for quality, not quantity. Then if you have extra time after you've finished the first environment, start a new one.

Thank you KyleJensen for telling me about image hosting I will sign up now. I get what your saying with doing one environment but they want us to have a lot of work and show diversity in our portfolios. That why I'm doing two environments. Also I may only have 22 class weeks to work on this but I actually have like 27-29 weeks to actually work on these. Hoping to finish the environment blockouts before classes start back up after July 4th, so that I can concentrate on the assets and textures during class weeks.

You have to decide if you want this to be a portfolio that your school can use to show off, or if this will be a portfolio that you can actually get a job with.

Because two rushed environments won't work for a professional portfolio, but one good environment populated by a plethora of good looking props will definitely help you get a job.

Also, when doing sketches, once you're done with the overheads, start doing isometric or 3/4 views of the environment in perspective, it'll speed things up when it comes to modeling.

Sorry been awhile since my last post been working on final projects for school. For right now Vertrucio these environments are going to be for my school portfolio. I do plan to do other environments for my professional portfolio as well.

Some new concepts that I've done in the last couple weeks

Found out today that I can focus on doing just one environment for my project. So going forward I will be focusing on the Spirit's Province environment and make this environment the absolute best that it can be.
