(WIP) Space Pirate Bay - and my WIP blog

Macao · Apr 2016

I duplicate here what I do for a week. Actually I started to work on the scene of the contest. And in the future I will lead immediately diary, than actually doing in your spare time.

Challenge Accepted!

So i really be to late for this challenge, but right now i have a lot of time to complete some artwork!

I wanna create space scene with a slight bias in science fiction.

Right now i use artwork of ship from Paul Pepera (greatest artist), later of course i use my space ship. Right now its only for faster photopashing.

If also i have enough time, i wanna create 2 characters for this scene:

1) Main Character

2) Monster near spaceship (if i have time to complete)

For modeling i use Modo, for texturing Quxel Suite 2.0 and a lot of customs scripts.

So i think for render i can use Unreal 4, if I will not have enough time Modo render.

Reference

Im taking some inspiration from the work of Paul Peppera and also the awesome artist - Tor Frick. These artists made a huge contribution in my understanding of modeling of hard surface, for which they thank you very much guys for u work.

Now I'm going to play with shapes, I will occasionally do overpaint on my 3d model for concept art.

I think it will be very fun!

WIP 01

Some quick update

Image: https://cdn1.artstation.com/p/media_assets/images/images/000/004/025/medium/3db82db24fe90a31af25f50460669946.jpg?1458720239

At this stage I would like to get some details ready ( to speed up the process later) and to think how the things in project actually are going to work. I think it is really cool when the mechanics of the model are based on the physics laws.

WIP 07

So i finish the concept, and right now recreate scene in UE4

Do not attach importance to the quality of the models, its only from concept art, right now I am planning to add more details and nice modular and nice lowpoly. So its a lot of work, i hope i can finish this!

Also i decided that it is) is the pirate spaceship and hangar, and as you know the atmosphere there will be a so undeground

this is looking really dope

WIP 09

Created so clean and detailed modular highpoly meshes, next is loader and finish spaceship and some parts, After that we can do lowpoly and bake stuff

WIP 10

For a long time I did not post anything here. Do not pay attention to the railing, i thinking about silhouette. Made of 80 percent low poly models, so then i done gate and ship we can clean rebake all this meshes. do good lightmaps and can texture all this stuff Also if i have time I would like to add asymmetrical objects like hologram screens, mechanic hand and etc Anyway i do my best What u think guys ? Dont see my light its only for testing. And I'm probably going to do a video with the animation, because that looks better In closeup.

And yea its realtime with 80 fps

I Start texturing job, configure so little post-effects, and some light setup. I hope i can texture all this stuff after few days. Also i need bake light and create lightmaps for optimization and add more light.

Looking great so far! The pics are a little dark, but you mentioned that you were still working on lighting... so keep at it!

Macao · Apr 2016

WIP 13

So i complete so little base master material in UE4, i think i need add later some dirt, sand and etc, but not now. Also i add some light and in future i really need perfect setup my light and bake for really nice FPS optimization. So in future i need finish my spaceship and add some meshes like doors, maybe lift and some of wires in future. Also i dont like my glass shader, need to recreate. Planet looks really good, but i need maybe add some sun and asteroids and etc. So i have 1 week to finish and its be really funny

Hi @Macao
I like very much how fast you fill this scene with detail, really great. About the planet that appears in one of the shots, I think it's looks very polished(strong highlight). Maybe make it more rough?

Macao · Apr 2016

Hey @mickeyvpn so i think problem with my fresnel material in the glass shader, sure i can fix it, but not right now

Luxap · Apr 2016

Following this on Artstation, this is looking way too cool, I feel bad looking at my one haha, love all the detail and the design of the ship you got going on!

Looking forward to see the end result

Blade113 · Apr 2016

that's so much time spent on this... lol. good job

Macao · May 2016

Bad news, it seems I do not have time to finish the work by the deadline. I'm not happy with textures, simply do not have time to finish master materials in UE4, also water decals and etc . Also retopology and UV is very bad need do it clean after, need fix lighmaps and light and a lot of stuff. Still, I will try until the end of the contest to finish the entire composition and do scene inside the ship, even if i do not have time to do texturing job and i do my best, also animations as well as fix all meshes. Right now i really wanna focusing finish modeling on ship, crates, doors and etc. And also wanna do so sequencer animation humans in ue4. So anyway this contest it's be soooo cool

I do my best ! Its really hard !

PS: FPS right now is 65 - realtime baby, i think i can fix it and do 80 fps in future, but after contest. Watch in 1080p!

Its looking really nice, I would suggest you add some alternation to the lights though, as the way they all harmonise at the moment just gives it a breathing feel. If you were to make the lights flash in sequence towards the roof, it would give incentive to believe that its the way out.
Another little thing is a lot of the area's look very alike, if you have time to add props to break up the uniformity of everything this would really stand out a bit more.

Macao · May 2016

@Mossbros Sure, i planned add a lot of details and etc ! tnx for feedback

Macao · May 2016

Add some people with animation, and right now i go to sleep!

Mossbros · May 2016

Some brighter key lights would really push this a bit more, at the moment in every scene it's extremely contrasted resulting in nearly all the details on characters and focal points being lost. Majority of your focal points at the moment are your walls, when if you think logically its the one thing you don't look at when you are walking.

Some light above the craft would really make it pop out a bit more, think of it as a car showroom. Maybe mount them around the craft if you can't build any structures around it.

Final Submission

Tnx u all mates for this challenge! To all challenger's, Twitch vieweers and Arstation stuff

Special thaks to great twitch streamer - Morwic for sound design!

So i know all my bugs. like lighmaps, not clean meshes and after contest i planned finish this scene !

PS: Tnx Saide LaBeouf for motivation

Its be so FUN!

Ah I'm not really environment-minded so take this with a grain of salt - but I kinda miss the lighting and windows you had around the ship in those earlier renders. Plus this tube you had in front of the ship gave this specific render angle a nice direction.

Also I really like the puffs of steam you have hanging around to add atmosphere to some of those shots
