I suppose I was talking about actually scaling the model along a single axis, flipping it- so you could position it like this

I like where this is going!!!!

You've got some fabulous assets done there. Keep the good work. I think you might want to set up a more detailed test lighting rig to convey some kind of mood, before you jump in with some detailed texture work around your main assets. Just kind feel, you could have got more with your assets through better lighting.

Too much red going in there right now and make sure you have a second unique UV-set for all the lightmaps or you'll end up with a weird result. Can't wait for the full-scale version! Good work so far!

Hey guys last progress shot of the night more tomorow!
Keep the crits coming!

Radsby: I put the red in there because it is supposed to be sunset what color would be better or should I just desaturate the light a bit?

If you're going for sunset try the golden hours, you get a lot of depth and cool color variation.
Like colder blues at the bottom and golden yellow/orange at the top of the buildings. (If you do a small city-scene)







It's important to try and catch that initial feel, with the lighting it should be a great range and only top out (and get over-exposed) at certain points. Right now everything is red, try to get some more range in the colors in the scene so that your color information in your textures don't get lost.

It's just my opinion though keep working hard , looking forward to more!

Ok yeah the second and third picture you posted is going to be a lot like my scene layout so I will go for that kind of lighting and see what I can get. I will post something up tomorow for sure.

The great thing about UDK is its copy and paste functionality, if you really want to get a good feel of the lighting, copy all of the assets ( no lights or fog ) and open a default lighting template in UDK and paste, it will drop everything exactly as it was in a new map for you. If anything I can imagine maybe the opposite scene. A morning scene like your hero piece is a simple futuristic milk cart :P or a man on his way to work early to get the best caterers position outside a massive nuclear power plant :P

I immediately noticed the red crosshairs meaning you just took a screencap (with something selected) and not a tiled shot.
Tileshot that shit!! ;)

Also i would kill that dust effect under the hovering truck. I feel like you could sell the idea if you made a different effect. More of a magnetic effect from the hovercraft than dust from the ground.

Hey man, really diggin the mood of the scene right now. Agree about the magnetic field effect.

For crits... I noticed that all the garbage bags are sitting with the mouth of the bag tied and pointing straight up. Maybe make some variations using the same texture where they're slouching in different directions? The walls are also looking a little flat, you might want to play with popping the normals a bit more and adding some variation to the different panel elements in the diffuse and spec. They don't have to be huge variations, like a bunch of different bold colors, but some subtle material difference will give them a lot more passive interest.

Hope that helps!
