ReSculpting and redoing the chest.

After getting advice on Polycount.com I redid the sculpt.

Baking is done, I got it down to 1044 tris.

Texturing time! I am using 512's this time.

Progress on Chest

Stylized Sculpted Chest

I went to GDC a couple weeks back. Great time was had-even with the blisters, but that is what I get for wearing shoes I don't normally wear. Some of the advice I received was to get different styles in my portfolio. In response to that, I am working on a sculpted stylized handpainted chest.

I have started on the low poly, planning on around 750-1000 tris.

Since starting on the chest, it was recommended that I make a mini environment to go around it. I am thinking a barred stone recess, a little ways up from the floor.

One more pass...

I did one more pass on the materials and the textures...

Completed: Deus Ex: HR Corridor

I completed this environment based on Concept Art for Deus Ex : Human Revolution. I attempted to only use 1 texture, but ended up going over. Finally stats were 1 1024 d/s/n/e, 1 256 d/s/n and 1 512 d (decals). I also learned alot about nDo2 and dDo. All models, textures and renders were completed by me.

Let me know what you think.

WIP Deus Ex:Human Revolution-the Hallway!

Working on concept art for Dues Ex:Human Revolution in UDK

I am Learning nDo2 and dDo during this project. I was trying do keep the environment to one Map, but needed a second for the pipes and wires, and a third for decals. Well, at least I am still under 2048...
