Thanks man! Finally getting around in the environments, and finally got some color. Reworked AO and added colored AO, shadows and ambient light, so lighting is much more harmonic This is a WIP of the second floor / tileset, (Military Training) missing a bit of ground decals but thats pretty much the direction its going.…
its different for everyplace--some places just give artists with lots of experience (but who arent interested in running anything) that title. Other places reserve it for people who would be next-in-line to the lead. Other places still reserve it as a step for people to 'climb to' so they can have the feeling of career…
Back to the scene now, I've got a modular building layout done and am working on finishing the first four pieces. It broken up into: facade, 1st story, 2nd, and the roof. This is using all realtime lighting due to my great frustrations with how limited baked lighting is. I'm considering making a breakdown of best practices…
I have decided on what I want for this scene now. After really looking at things and evaluating my reasons for starting this project in the first place I know I wanted to do a medieval piece. So I am creating an Inn that resides on a forest road beside the lake. Travelers from far and wide stay and enjoy the beautiful lake…
I think it really depends on why you're building them. I mean there is an average time you can potential estimate, but if you were making these as commissions you would adjust the time on the basis of your rate and expenses. No sense working like a madman sacrificing everything to complete these for a client if they're not…
Just a tiny bit of feedback here. Overall I think your scene looks really nice. It's a very aesthetically pleasing composition in the concept and you've kept that same layout well. However the value contrast in your model is much higher than in the concept. Not sure if your lighting is final, but the lighting in the…
I have to agree with the posts previous. The current layout is huge, but lacking in detail. . . and honestly doesn't resemble any of Tsutomo Nihei's work. Starting small will greatly help your level, and look over some examples of other dystopian building styles. Relying on just one source for inspiration, especially when…
Had to be at work over the weekend so i am now back for the week to progress, im making a modular building, this is specifically the building that the train is crashed into. Think im going to create multiple textures and expose the parameters so that i can just the same building multiple times but just changing the hue…
The new lighting looks already better! The feeling I have is that the room feels a bit to much like a fancy box. All the walls are straight, no height difference. Maybe you can elevate a part in the corner with some small low steps. Or add some stairs to hint to a second floor. You can open the ceiling up so people on the…
Nothings impossible but right now you will be very lucky to get a position at a company with this portfolio. Really take on board what people are saying about the layout and how the site looks. The people who will hire you are incredibly busy, making there job any harder than it has to be will just see your work being…
