fantastic KoKo :D

So a while back I got inspired by JonM's "The Empire" 3d scene

and began working on my own "epic" scene.

The scene is supposed to feature a post-apocalyptic landscape with

a vault door opening and people just about to come out

"beginning a new life" a century after the vault was closed and radiation

levels had become lower. (Thus the name "New Beginning").

Here's the concept piece I did for it. (phear my pencil skills)

concept

and here's how it looks right now:

The hill/rock is edgy I know, ill meshsmooth it when the time comes. :)

decal the bricks and maybe add some kind of stains at the bottom of the brick wall

thanks von*ferret, the first piece of constructive critism i got on this piece,

the last hour i have trying to come up with a better texture for the building and made some changes to a older texture, here is the updated building. i hope you will like this one better :)

Assuming its for a World War 2 type of game, shatter the glass. Normally there were hardly any glass windows that were still intact during war-time, so it'd help with the realistic factor, as well as the artistic direction. The brick itself is good, but add variation -- perhaps it went under renovation, and a few new bricks replaced old ones (along the bottom, usually, for reinforcement purposes)? More dirt along the bottom would also be good. Add smoke stains along one wall to indicate a fire had taken place, or even an wall entire wall had been destroyed, showing rebar, beams, and other types of metal reinforcement. It wouldn’t allow the building to be entered, but it’d be more interesting to the player. The overall absence of damage is largely what is a disappointment. Hell, even a crack decal here and there would spice it up. More vibrance to the brick would help (although the brick itself is quite good looking), unless of course you were going for monochromaticity. Just make the model tell a story, and you are set!
