I didn't posted for a long time, but as I saw the chalenge I have dcided to try myself in it.

looking good!

How are you going to differ it from the concept what elements do you plan to add?

[Arkus]

Well, what I want to keep from the orginal concept is the dark blue mod of it, the Steam punk like machine in the center, and that the enviroment is a some kind of factory.

Didn't actually think about how to make it diffirend, the concept is the inspiration, but I'm not gonna to copy exacly any of it's elements.

Don't see if the factory on the concept is in working order, or is it devastated but mine is gonna be a totaly wasted one. The machine will also probably be a peace of rusted junk basicly, but I might go with the war like train also - didn' decided upon it yet.

So, the very basic idea is the same as on the concept, but that just it.

cheers

I'm starting on textures and I'm lerning the U3 engine, as this will be my first map in this technology.

I can't really make any useful comments, since I don't know a thing about environment modeling, but it looks very nice :) .

Anyway, I believe that the concept you picked was based on this (http://www.shorpy.com/files/images/1a34710u1_0.jpg) image, so I thought I'd post it. Maybe it'll give you a new perspective on things. Good luck!

Oops, my bad! Does this (http://www.vfxtalk.com/forum/real-cg-t9460.html) work any better?

I don't know about him, but my team are certainly going to find that handy. Thanks, J.

[Arkus]

Thx Comrade!

that picture is awsome, I'm sure I will use it somehow. Funny thing, the concept I have chosen looks like a paintover of that picture (with sides flipped).

Jackblade - hands of that link it's mine, mine, mine muahahaha! ;)
