So here is the Mood board, First rough sketch of the concept piece and the 2nd revision/ more in depth version of the concept. Still need to do 1 more thing for a third revision but I thought i should get some feedback before doing so. Critics are very welcome and encouraged!!
Why not have it ripped open? Showing some exposed space, stars or some such.... Also, the 2nd angle shows some nasty clipping on the boxes on the left with a detached grate, and the light that is shining through is from a star? Just a thought. I'd worry about making the walls/floor not so flat first.
As someone who was apart of the first group, who also did some actual work, and tried to reorganize after all of the leadership left, I would say this thing is a epic fail. The first group started slowly too. I've yet to see any real progress from the 2nd group.
Whoa xenogears that takes me back. Would be more badass with his gear. If you want a 2nd design to model I wouldn't mind seeing a gear with him, I prefered the red/black uncontrolable gear think it was version 3 (not sure).:) Good job can't wait to see more.
Your Flash lighting is killing all the forms. Put the camera down/on a tripod turn off the flash and go again, and it'll be 10x better.... ,but that said, f'ing sweet! You should put something common in the frame with him for scale reference. Like the sculpt. I 2nd the request to see the sculpt.
Nice looking scene Luck, like others have said, nice lighting. The reflection on the floor are really nice touch as well. Whats the issue with the shadows? Have you created a 2nd UV channel for your props for lightmaps? Check out this tutorial by Hourence. http://www.hourences.com/tutorials-ue3-lightmapping/
Update! I've been working hard on the 2nd texture pass and got a very helpful lighting paint over from a lighting artist which really helped me out. I now need to add decals to some of the walls and floor areas so it's not so clean and get some cables in there :)
I think it's not running for me because I have my NVidia control panel set to run in single-display performance mode (to fix some game issues I was having) ... means that GL windows don't draw on my 2nd monitor, which is where PicLens is trying to open itself.
Thanks guys, big 34 today. I'd complain more about my old aching ass but I got a hot new girlfriend that will be covered in chocolate tonight Plus I get to hang with Harl and Tins at the sushi bar in a couple days w00t! Thanks for that sloppy (2nds) cake KMan!
I almost showed up late....just got on my work station on time today....turned on the news and I hear about this first thing.... What can be more of a let down ? He did undergo a serious surgery not too long ago... RIP -- 2nd funniest man on earth --
