Modularity flow advice

Hiya!

So, yes, I am doing a sci fi hallway!!! It's practice for a job so it makes sense.
I've done a modular layout. Its my first go at this style of environment creation and would LOVE some professional advice if anyone can be bothered.

Here is the breakdown

2 things to note

1. I'm going to make a blast door (not in original concept) to block the extension to the next half of the room. I don't need to go nuts and make a huge scene so will make the door the focal point.

2. I'll make 2 variations of handrails and a shit ton of pipes and random roof detail as modularly as I can.

Thanks folks, any advice at this point on modularity layout would be ace:P

It looks like purple-blue and yellow pieces are always together, just mirrored, and with and without the 5 sign. You could combine them if you want, doesn't matter too much either way.

Plan and block in the ceiling and rails, you don't want to skip assests, and you want to block in the whole scene early on.

I think this might be concept art for Deus Ex: Human Revolution. If so, you might find some other good references from the game or other concept art. Plus you can always check other artists who have done dxhr related scenes to see how they organise modular pieces/textures.

@ ZacD yeah wanna maybe make it not so repetitive. Roof/rails I am blocking out now. Its a bit hard to see in the concept

@ Bek It is DXHR concept art. Good idea, will have a look around.

Thanks guys

Because this looks like a Deus Ex concept you may want to check this out. This was one of the monthly noob env art challenges that also used Deus Ex work. May give you some ideas seeing how other people worked.
