Re: Interior Environment with Hero Assets WIP Log: 1960s Apartment Crime Scene
Thanks @littleclaude! The detailed feedback is sincerely appreciated. Taking it piecemeal, some of your feedback hits right on areas I had planned out + gives me a lot of stellar ideas and I wanted to call them out & show where my mind is at: * "lived-in" details: I have a sitting area where the victim spent most his time… -
Interior Environment with Hero Assets WIP Log: 1960s Apartment Crime Scene
For my first full environment portfolio project, I am working on a homicide crime scene in a rundown apartment in 1960s New York, aiming to push realism inside a playable, but believable space that could (hypothetically) be in a game with an investigation element. My hero assets are a period-appropriate CSI camera, murder… -
Re: Interior Environment with Hero Assets WIP Log: 1960s Apartment Crime Scene
Past couple weeks I tightened up the cameras based on feedback (especially my Establishing shot) + added more supporting shots while also setting up a Movie Render Queue and render settings therein to quickly output renders as the environment progresses (you'll also see some more play with shadows/lighting/and general… -
Re: Interior Environment with Hero Assets WIP Log: 1960s Apartment Crime Scene
Very nice :) this has a solid and clear story beat, and the scene has a great foundation. As you continue refining it, consider pushing the secondary storytelling details further.

(Apologies if you saw the two same images, realize I selected the same image twice on the first upload, and I've since edited the post) I didn't think of that; so with keeping the same camera position (kitchen/escape route in background, windows with rays to the right) you're thinking something like this might be better… -

It might be a good story-telling composition to have the murder weapon in the foreground, victim in midde ground, and camera/lights in the background. You could even use a little DOF on the murder weapon, as long as it's evident enough in the blur (prominent blood on the weapon might help). -
Re: Interior Environment with Hero Assets WIP Log: 1960s Apartment Crime Scene
Thanks! Super excited to continue sharing updates. You're spot on regarding the camera hero; my original research for this project led me to the Graflex Speed Camera (with many of my references below being from 1960s models/videos of fixing up ones from that time period.) Your note on long exposure, angle, and it being… -

That all sounds great, I can not wait to see it. :) I spoke to Belisarius Cawl the Adeptus Mechanicus Tech-priest today and he said! "By the Omnissiah’s sacred gears and the holy rites of the Machine Spirit, I consecrate this message to @jbeck3d. May your cogitators hum with flawless precision, your circuits burn with…
