Hi Goat !
Haha I know the struggle about putting details everywhere !
Maybe you should think about how the environment could affect your object. For exemple, the scratches on the plate behind the pipe may look odd, as that part should be protected a bit by this pipe.
Aside from that, it looks great so far
Thankyou marc!
On our way to finishing the props, I'll post an update for some of Kuno's props when we have them sorted, and then onto putting everything down. Still got vegetation to do which we need to get on asap as time is ticking down now! Here's a finished tent made, setup so that I can use ncloth to drape material over the landscape. Few tweaks still need to made to the cloth modifiers. Some cushions too!
Progress coming along, mostly assembling everything now, settled on the lighting now with a slight greenish tint. It was also my first time making trees and I found it quite difficult to get a thick canopy which I'd especially want along the cliffline. I was also hoping to fit my end scene into a marmoset viewer file but I may be just slightly over the 20mb budget I'm afraid, I'll either simply have to do a few fly through's or cut a few things out for the viewer file.
Rocks and boulders sculpted by Kuno and textured by me.
Decided that with the extended deadline I'd try importing the scene into unreal engine too. Never really used it before so it's something of a learning experience, I've been meaning to for a while though and it felt like as good an opportunity as ever, been playing around with volumetric fog and the like, the scene's not really optimised for use in unreal due to the way I've imported things and how lightmaps etc function. In future projects I'll be able to keep that in mind more. You definitely have a greater degree of control visually in unreal though and I'm enjoying it so far!
Thankyou for the input! Yes I see what you mean, it's one of a few shots I've been fiddling with, maybe I was worried that the other shot was a bit squeezed and I wanted something more expansive showing off the world a bit better, but you're right having that strong focus definitely helps a great deal.
