[WIP] The_Foundry - Unity engine

Hello guys ! I never been a really active user but heh , here I am with some things to show

To make it short, I'm doing a map located in a Foundry / steel factory. The base is there but I need to add more models to it, it's not finished yet.

At the moment there is only one room done (N°1) , but I'm planning to add few mores :

Here are some of the reference pictures I used :

Some things that might interest you to know is that it's 100% baked lighting , and using the recently released post processing stack of Unity.

Also here is a complete album with some of the lighting / post process iterations, I would love to get feedback on this too

Thanks for your time reading this thread , and as always , I heavily welcome any criticism on any matter ( Especially on level design, my weak point )

Thank you in advance

Since this is ( and still ) a WIP thread , here are few iterations of the scene :

Your references show most of the metal has been warped, scalded, bent and discolored by the intense heat it directly contacts with. It's currently hard to tell that your map is a foundry full of molten metal without looking at those references and the orange post processing you put it in. What is the purpose of this space? Your references show large vats full of slag or funnels where the superheated metal pours through, right now your space kind of seems like an empty warehouse that happens to have a sliver of hot stuff dripping through it.

I like the map, would you consider labeling your screenshots with where they are in relation to the map? It's currently hard to tell where exactly I'm looking at. Can't wait to see a downloadable version of this that I can walk through!

Thank you for the feeback

I gave it a dirt pass on all the metallic parts, you were right it add some more realism.

Concerning the space... yeah as I said I'm still a poor level designer and you are right it looks like a warehouse filled with stuff.

At the moment, the displayed room is the number 1. I plan to add a central circular room with some sort of big tank / reactor , a corridor , and a second "similar" room to do things I didn't did in the n°1.

Hi , the mapis intended to be sold on the Unity asset store at the end, so I can't know in advance what will be the gameplay elements, I just can try my best to not have the worst level design work

But anyway , even if it's a simple environment without gameplay, how do you call the volumes work, and design of the layout ? Can't be level design too ?
