All I can think about is a sweet L4D take on low poly. woot woot!

I already can see it getting out of control if I do a crowd of zombies type scene. So I'm thinking something a little more focused.
Don't have a solid plan just yet. Time to play some L4D and get inspired!

Perhaps you could try a tense atmosphere with the team moving around a witch, or more of an action piece with a Tank crashing through a wall with the survivors running in the streets in front of the hospital.

I'd so do a Smoker holding Louis over a hole or something like that if I was on that project!

Looking forward to see what you come up with!

Best of luck, I'm a big fan of the game and very excited to see what you come up with.

Not to sway your opinion, but, this:

alright, so I've nailed down what I want to do.
The plan is to recreate the section from L4D 1 where you come out of the sewer and into the hospital. I want to capture the scene as the survivors just about the climb the ladder out of the sewer and onto the street - filled with zombies of course. i also want to put some special zombies in some key areas.

lets see if this works(current progress, massout of envrionment):

. . . still need to figure out embedding of sketchfab. I'll get to that later.

Hey man was hoping to do a L4D one myself, really nice blockout ya got there

LANKUS MAXIMUS · Jul 2013

Loving the block out already. You can tell its left for dead as soon as you see it.

I'm going to be focusing on a similar scale for my contest entry.

All the best with it dude. I look forward to seeing it develop.

updates. starting to block in textures and getting some stuff on grid.

Same feedback for you that I gave to LaurenBam's Chivalry diorama (here): Your composition only works from one side of the diorama. To fully utilize the fact that people can interact with your model I suggest building a composition that works from all angles.

- 2cents

Adam: you make a good point. I am going to rethink my piece. I think I'm going to downsize the project by quite a bit.

breakneck · Jul 2013

so here is some updates. I've changed the layout to include the interior and much less of the exterior.

I'm a bit sad to see you've dropped the sewer. I can't disagree with what Adam said, but I really liked how the difference between the underground layer and the presumably eventually zombie-filled upper layer created a kind of tension and progress of time that's hard to pull off in a diorama.

breakneck · Jul 2013

Zwebbie,
I completely agree. I took it out because I am afraid I won't be able to finish. But it was such an important part, I miss it as well. I think I'll probably add it back in

breakneck · Jul 2013

blocked out a handful of textures. also added back the sewer section
