Greetings. Been working on an alleyway environment for a bit. I wanted to do something different from the standard, gritty urban scene and while shooting reference photos near where I live I stumbled across some alleys that were overgrown. I tried to incorporate some plants into what I was working on. Not sure if it is…
Looks nice! At first glance it's a little bit pristine. I know you said you're trying to avoid the grimy-urban look but your textures could maybe benefit from a bit more grunge to add detail and break up repetition. If the alley is overgrown I'm assuming the buildings and floor aren't cleaned regularly. The only other…
Definitely nice work so far, I think you have some of the broad strokes in place and as previously mentioned once you clean up some of the textures and lighting artifacts it will start reading really nicely. A small note on the trees the shadowed one looks quite dark which may simply be a lighting problem, but there are…
More updates. Tried vertex painting on the buildings and it helped a lot- thanks fer the tip Add3r! Will be looking into the lighting next as there are still some oddities going on and I am at a loss as to what is causing them. Especially that corner nathanbarrett noted. I noted that UDK is giving me an error message about…
nice job dude, you may find this tutorial on getting a cleaner edge on vertex blends helpful. http://www.chrisalbeluhn.com/UDK_Advanced_Vertex_Painting.html
Wow. Thanks for the fast turnaround on those crits! This was more than I expected and I really appreciate the time you guys spent! AGarton- Yer right about the bricks. I had reached the same conclusion and am working on a new texture right now, but I have also noticed UDK really compresses the detail out of the textures…
Yea that is a wicked example Tim! Not sure if this is my place or not, but its so difficult to communicate with words that sometimes its just necessaary. And I dont like doing this bc I always think people take offense to it, but here it goes anyway! Not bad work uohm, hope this helps. Overall I would incorporate decals…
JoscelinFrost- Thanks for the input. I purchased a foliage tutorial series from 3dmotive and the trees are the result of it. The material for the leaves has a lot of bells and whistles and allows for a lot of tweaking and adjustment. I guess this means I still need to tweak some settings! I wanted to spend some time making…
