Abandoned Industrial Scene -Finished!

[Waylon]

Ok, so I'm working on a 3d abandoned industrial scene for my portfolio. It's not done yet, but I thought I might post some in-process shots, and see if anyone has any input.

First, a couple renders of the scene (geometry is 75% there). Lots of temporary textures, and very quick lighting.

I spent most of today refining and texturing buildings. Here's a look at how those are going:

Hopefully I'll have all the modeling, texturing, and lighting finished by sunday. but... we'll see. :)

Oh yeah. I'm using many of my own photos for reference, and for textures. Some of the ones that inspired this scene are online here:

Great idea! I love stuff like this.

The textures are definitely going to need some work but I really like the work you've done so far.

For some reason, I'm drawn to stuff like this. I don't know what it is but I absolutely love to look at old abandoned buildings. The links to images of these buildings provided on this site are incredible.

I really love that first one;)

[Waylon]

Thanks everyone, glad you like 'em!

canim8: Yep, I've spent all day today making new textures, and I'll work on them most of tomorrow too. Here's a test render of one of the new ones, with a human mesh to show how badly I messed up the scale. :)

wow good stuff waylon.
its nice to see something other than asteroids and spaceships from you :)

[epiphany]

cool stuff. your textures rocks. may i know the size you use for them?

[Waylon]

stephen: It's nice to be WORKING on something other than space ships and asteroids. :)

epiphany: The textures are huge. I'm making them from photos, and I keep them as high-rez as the original shot. (So the biggest are probably 2048x2048, though most are closer to 1024x1024.) When I'm all done I'll scale them so that the in-scene texels are all a comparable size.

Finished!

Though I'm sure I'll spend some more time tweaking it. And... heh, I've got it textured from all angles. It would be silly not to do an animation. :) But for now, I need sleeeeeep.......

wow. the last render is fucking beautiful. looks like you changed the models a little along with the textures. much nicer.
im just now starting to learn how to texture....in maya. does deep paint 3d have a maya version?
