The only think i can think of right now, is those pillars dont look stoney enough to me. They sure do look awfully Clean. Dont ask me how'd I'd fix that. Cause right now I don tknow.
Look forward to it! I'm interested to see what the materials look like with proper reflections and better lighting.
One thing to try when you move it over is a clearer lighting direction. You have bright openings in the environment for light but the lighting of the scene doesn't seem to match it. Your lighting is very ambient. I'd pick a key area that light is spilling through, maybe make a more prominent hole in a wall or ceiling and use that as a primary light source.
I can imagine this being a room in the Fenix estate.
JordanW, I cant wait to move it over, UE4 is such a blast to work with
And thankyou for the feedback, I had plans for part of the ceiling and walls to be collapsed with more ivy, foliage and light coming through as a focal point in the scene but unfortunately time was rather short. hopefully I will have a few weeks spare soon to push it a little further
heres a few more assets:
(god rays are just placeholder assets, they are from epics effects cave sample scene)
crits always welcome
Although you probably don't need to worry about optimization, the topology of the planks could be way better. It looks like you've used pro-optimizer modifier for this, which works, but still leaves a lot of unnecessary triangles. (I did exactly the same on planks in the past :P ) That's just a minor though.
BertR, yea I could have defiantly done a better job on that, time was super short so i took the easiest route
MaccyF, they are far from perfect its probably the textures hiding the errors, also the non textured shots are mostly high polys.
Thanks for all the feedback, I'm calling this one done hope you like it!
Loved your ambient light.
I was wondering, how many hours of work were needed to achieve this ?
(including props sculpting, texturing, lighting, etc.)
Don Moahskarton, Im not sure how many hours however this was a 10 week project for my university course. There were also 2 other modules I had to do, so I would take a guess and say this is doable within 6 weeks full time.
The most time consuming part was the sculpting process however that also bought back loads of time when it came to texturing as most of the detail was already there.
thanks again
