trying to get some ideas for a project. got this one, a busted up drive in theatre, from listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I have a large backlog of sketches, it's just a question of what I bring out of the garbage to post, lucky you!
edit: it's 80 polygons. I know there's some places I could reduce.

[conte]

woah, that's interesting!

these value doodles have been really fun, but really challenging. the lingering thought that I'm going about my business in a very inefficient manner is ever present. took about an hour and a half

cant shake the feeling I should be spending my time doing 3d shit. blag

[zlux]

Uly, great textures!

[Uly]

thanks ged and zlux : )

k. here's the dorky follow up!
i played around with a few ideas for post effects for when all is said and done
edit: these are ridiculously overdone, keep in mind. : ) i'd tone it down to a comfy level in final

really going to try and duplicate some of bionic commando's asset placement that made for excellent modular pieces. really excited to get working on this one! : ) Oh yeah, Unreal 3, cause i don't really know any other engines at the moment.

hmm how did i miss this? =) Really awesome stuff! Something with the orange blooming sunlight like the top picture could be very cool

[Uly]

been a while. now that we're done at work, and my vacation is wrapped up, I guess its time to do some more 3d stuff. : ) in the meantime, here's some analogue doodles.

[Uly]

here's all the stuff i'm allowed to post for the time being. all of this stuff ranges from 2007 to 2009. will post my professional stuff from 2010 when permission is given. : ) here's some of the personal work to start out with. more personal stuff in next post.

here's some stuff from the Bigs 2! a solid baseball game that none of you guys probably ever played. : ) there's lots of levels in this bunch, a lot of other people chipped in. Screens I posted were only of environments where i can claim the greater share of modeling/texturing, or texturing work.

more bigs2 stuff in another post

Will post some Dead Rising 2 stuff after release if persmission is given.

[Andrew Mackie]

Hey Uly,
Your work is amazing!
I absolutely love your assets and single objects the most.
Do you have any tutorials, and or, tip/tricks on how you do some of them?
I would love to know more of your workflow.
Take care.

[jouste]

Uly!

wowsers what a dump! i've always loved your machete but the rest of this stuff is looking great. super cool dude. thanks for posting!

[conte]

holy sh%#, Uly!
lots of damn tiht pieces right there! i esp love your treat for textures,
tho i'd fade down some speculars on some of them.
anyway niice, thanks for sharing!

[Uly]

@andrew: thanks a lot man. :] As for tips / tutorials, I'd say check out this tutorial from Eat3d. (http://eat3d.com/pillar) Riki (the author) gives out some invaluable tricks that any environment guy should know.
@jouste: yeah i kinda horded this bit of stuff. :] got jealous of seeing all your sick pimps and sketches.
@conte: haha thanks man, i appreciate it. good point on the speculars though, I think I know which ones you're talking about.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_COJdjsucPec/TCC6ziyn6CI/AAAAAAAAABM/CfERe8dZRuI/s1600/tunnel_asterisk.png

Well the idea is to post *at least* one thing every day or two, no matter how much time I spent on it.
So here's a 30 minute junker from last night. Notebook and markers.

[Uly]

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g304/krasnoarmiich/wip/jstout_materialtest_brick01.png
picking up an old scene. (concept is somewhere in this sketchbook.) here's the basic material in UDK, just diff/spec/normal. Time to watch those Ryan Clark UDK youtube vids and find out what all this material blending stuff is about! Normal map made with Crazybump & Zbrush. Eager to figure out how to do a near-complete diffuse pass in Zbrush, little intimidating though.

What I'm looking forward to achieving is getting those swatches of paint laid overtop of the bricks, with the more exposed areas having more damaged chip bits. If anyone's got any cool pointers for any UDK or similar material examples, I'd be veeery appreciative. : )

(also keep in mind this texture is normalized with just a big light in the scene. the value will match up closer once I get it placed in scene with an appropriate lighting rig.)

[paulsvoboda]

Beautiful beautiful work all throughout this sketchbook Uly. The Bigs 2 work is fantastic and presented really well. Looking forward to seeing how the warehouse turns out.

[Uly]

paul: Hey thanks man. :] have to give big props to our lighting guys on that project. they did a great job.

Hey Uly!

you should post this stuff in pimping and previews cause theirs alot of people that don't look at the sketchbook section :)

keep up the great work, must have been an awesome project to work on.

Cheers,

Arman

what a poorly designed highway, that road planner should be shot

supercool! This is inspiring me to do more line art :)

Also really cool work on dead rising 2! I guess it's mostly just diffuse textures without normal maps on the environments, like in the first dead rising?

[bounchfx]

wow, Uly, fantastic stuff dude! love your sketches, and really nice work on DR2!

[Legion]

Herro! Fabulous grey scales. Ah yes... hastings... The coloured photo gives an obvious desolate vibe- I would like to say I like where you've placed what, proportions are splendid. As for your naked lord... his expression and general character are quite strong, especially in the brow. Keep posting!

Sorry, didn't see the other pages. FTL is shaping up nicely!

[Ged]

like the pic with the htu building, feels like theres alot of story in it

[Uly]

stop sulking, Ben. its bad for your back
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_COJdjsucPec/TSZygnkPXSI/AAAAAAAAAEc/aFhLFFoOWfE/s1600/FTL_vis_whatever01.png

ae: in good time, my dear arman. when i give my site an update, i'll post a portfolio thread. at the moment its just a shit ton of jpegs in a zip

Peris: do some so I can see! : ) and yeah, DR2 was largely dependent on diffuse textures.

bounch: thanks man! i get a good deal of inspiration by checking out your sketchbook.

legion: thankyou! ill be sure to draw more naked men then

ged: thanks. : ) the idea is that a deep space colony died of a collective heart attack after hearing about a sale at the local Bed Bath & Beyond. ive been shopping around this idea, but I can't tell why they stop talking to me after I explain it

trying to nail down the look for particular materials.

[Ged]

is it tiles and sand? or is it a big field viewed from the sky? guessing its the former

[Uly]

Ged: exactly the kind of feedback im looking for, thanks dude. :) I should have put a few more items/details in the scene to convey better scale. But yeah, it's the former. Still a bit of work to go yet.
