I like the concept art a lot !
There is not much to say right now. The scale looks correct to me but something seems wrong with your camera's FOV (it's very noticeable on the bottom left of your blockout). Also your camera might be a little bit too "horizontal". I mean it's not looking down enough to me.

Thanks Sebvhe, ill try and get the right angel to get that view for yeah

Here's an Ambient Occlusion pass, and a wireframe of it currently,
I'm currently working on attaching the back bridge to the front bridge, as well as working on some more detail in the merchant stand

Looking good so far. I ask though, are you aiming for a game engine? The number of polygons used on your bridges is quite high in comparison to the rest of the scene.

Also bear in mind the work you must do when it comes time to texture your scene. Without offense the bridge would be a nightmare to UV map.

You have a good blockout so far. Looking forward to your developments.

This scene is a big undertaking, I'd recommend focusing on a section of the concept for the scene and taking it to full finished so you can see how much time it takes and the end look you can achieve.

The blockout looks promising, get some lighting in there right away, even temp texture could help (maybe you don't need to model every detail if it's not seen, you know?).

Thanks Sushi and Butthair,

no this isn't an environment for a game engine, its just a environment i want to use on my demo reel, and i will lower the typology on the bridges to try and match the rest of the scene.

I will be throwing some textures on and add some lighting this week to see how its turning out, Thanks Again

So here is what I'm at so far, i have some textures on a couple objects to get the feel of how it will blend together

and here is everything else i have in the scene

And heres the typology on my old walkway vs new
OLD

NEW

Here is the environment with some lighting and textures applied as well as an AO pass and wire-frame, i will be working on the lighting some more fixing up some of the textures as well as adding some effects into the scene.

You should really consider dropping this stuff in an engine instead of doing it straight in maya

If your doing this for portfolio work, and your portfolio is geared towards games, there is no reason not to do this in something like udk.

Thanks for the feed back Gsokol ill drop it into UDK for my final renders of it just have a few more things to change before its finished
