A WIP.. and a hello

[AdamBrome]

Hey, my name's Adam. I think I posted once here long long ago.

Anyhoo, here's a current work-in-progress:

I'm almost finished unwrapping it. The stretched bits are because the texture ratio is 1:2

I recently finished this.

And this is my website, which is also a WIP.

Thanks!

is this environment ment to be a run in a game engine or do you just play around with maya?

your website is neat. lots of content and information. be welcome at mapcore

It looks great, but unwrapping a big environment first is a little strange to me. With something like this i suppose you will be using tiling textures? Its a lot easier to work if you make the textures first and then properly map them on the geometry imo

[AdamBrome]

Nope - I unwrap first then texture. This won't be done using tiling textures. The base of the scene is modular which makes for an easy unwrap. 8hrs altogether spent on unwrapping.

The scene will weigh in around 10,000 triangles when I'm finished.

It's not for an engine.

ah ok, how many textures do you have planned then? It can turn out really awesome if you pay special attention to every bit .

Looks more like 3d Studio Max than Maya

Heh, I remember finding your site a while back when I was searching for a review of the book "Game Art: Creation, Direction and Careers". Nice work.

However many textures it takes to make magify it.. Check out the link I posted for the model I finished before starting this one. That was some texture fun - around 40 or so infact

It sucks. I don't know anyone who would work with you.

[AdamBrome]

Did this to show a co-worker (but not Phobos, he's too n00bish):

That's basically the level of grunge I'll be doing with this scene.

[PhilipK]

A great start there. Eager to see more

[General Vivi]

agreed. can't wait too see more texture work ^^ .

[von*ferret]

I can see the repeition in the concrete texture, maybe lighting it would help hide that.

[AdamBrome]

Yah, I'm not worried about what is obviously tiling and what is not. The lighting will be pretty dramatic for this piece. If it weren't, I'd spend the time on fixing the artifacts beyond what I already have since posting that image.

Thanks guys
