FINAL | WORLDS | 3D | Industrial Necropolis | Lumia & Strkl

[lukalescuyer]

Hi there, Here is our final entry for the contest !

HD link

The idea behind this environment is based on the Ancient Greek Necropolis "Myra". We decided to add a Sci-Fi industrial layer on top. This creates a environment where a big corporation would drain something mysterious from the tombs. (Ideally we wanted to animate fluids inside the tubes)...
We were heavily inspired by the old school Sci-Fi ( Bilal, Akira ) for the industrial part.

The scene was set up in Unity because we are more comfortable with it. It's always a challenge to get a very good looking environment (But with some work its possible !). Our finished result is far from perfect. We are quite happy with the final image even though we couldn't spend all the time we wanted working on it.

We went for a portrait composition : The vertical format and the low-angle shot emphasize the height of the structure, and create a contrast between the scale of the environment, and the viewer's perspective.

Anyway, we hope you enjoyed our piece and seeing the process from concept, to blockout, to finished product !

We are going to base our environment on the Myra necropolis, and some Dirty Sci-Fi in Akira / Enkil Bilal style, to create some sort of "Industrial Necropolis".
This environment will be mainly vertical, and we will play with the contrast between the old rock-carved tombs and the Big metal plates & Pipes !

We will be using Unity to create our environment.

Hey guys, quick update :
The blockout

and some Shader test, to blend differents rock materials and help the ruins integrated with the cliff

[Strkl]

progressing slowly...

Really looking forward to more of this, dope idea.

[lukalescuyer]

Thanks a lot Marc !

Here is a little screenshot of our progress. The lighting is still WIP, and we are still iterating on all the blockout. Next step is to create more materials, detail maps,
make the houses stand out in the composting, etc... And all the tiny details that will make the scene rich : )

(and tone down that chroma aberation... haha)

[Strkl]

Trying to find some time to continue this !

Some pipes made from trims

stil tweaking the lighting too. The composition need some work, we need to make the ruins stand a bit more...and we are starting to add sci fi Elements into the pipes and other stuff

The emissive texture (Wip), only simple shape and color palette

[Strkl]

Here is the latest progress. We started the work on the pipes, more lighting tweak, integrating decals...
With the extended deadline we have to think about what we will improve too !

Hey guys, some of the props we made for the scene (they are seen from very far) :

Really love how the pipes and structures blend so well into the rockface, great work on the texturing too, keep it up!

[Bohdan_Lvov]

That's dope, dude

[Strkl]

Hello Here is a new update, minor tweaks on the lighting and some props placements. It's getting hard to keep the motivation high to finish this with the deadline so far away

It's getting hard to keep the motivation high to finish this with the deadline so far away

So maybe it will be useful to set your own deadline?

Looks gorgeous, btw!

[Strkl]

Almost "done", putting the final touches on the video !

[Strkl]

Everything is now submitted !

[Bohdan_Lvov]
