    I expect fog should help with that once it starts coming together as a scene. Really nice work on these props so far.

    [HP] has done a lot of work, I'm kinda slow at modeling. I've been trying to push as much detail into the building structures as possible. Working on North Lock at the moment which is the center piece of the film.

    Thanks guys! me and lee have been working our asses of every single day on this scene, dead line is the end of march, so that gives us 23 days! Man, it's gonna be close, i want this to be perfect!

    Fortunately we got loads and loads of references for almost every single piece, you'd be amazed what you can still find about a 80's movie! We even found a "technical book about the aliens movie", it has blue prints, detailed information about the buildings, gadgets, weapons, vehicles, etc, etc. The special edition and bonus DVD (with the making of) has also been very useful!

    Amazingly, I received some e-mails of people asking me to make a mod out of this, or a playable level! Well, we'll see, first things first, and that is, finishing this exterior scene before the end of the month!

    Seldoon182, no Blu-Ray yet, but I read some rumors on the Internets that a trilogy blu-ray pack might be released this year!

    This is the DVD 9-disc pack I have, and love! <3

    Yeah, 23 days and counting.....but what makes it harder for me is that I'm moving to Austin, TX to start my new job at Bioware at the end of the month. So, I'll be juggling moving, packing, and the competition. I wonder if the competition will get an extension

    Thanks [HP]! Unfortunatly I'll not purchase the dvd I would rather something that fit with my Ps3/Full HD TV. Hope those rumors will come true!

    I also wish you good luck compared to that deadline! You'll have to make choice between the final you want and the elapsed time.

    Today I spent a few time unwrapping some of the models, and I also messed with the style of the scene a bit. changing the fog color, moon color, contrast, etc.

    Here's my first attempt:

    (I know it looks weird having only a single textured prop in there, but try and ignore it and just appreciate the "style" and "mood" of the shots.)

    Really cool work guys. Lighting needs to be darker though. I'll assume you know that, though.

    Not really dux, this scene is actually pretty well lit.

    Plus, if we make it way too dark, some of our work (geometry + textures) vanishes in the darkness!
