Starting clobbering some ideas together last night. I'll try to get something up here after work this evening.

A small bit of the large concept painting. it's all WIP as I block shit out, but I felt bad not showing something. I'll try to finish the rest of the concept and post tomorrow.

udpate on the concept. I'll be doing a color comp on it as well, but this is a rough idea for what I had in mind.



I haven't seen Tron for like 22yrs, so I'm just tossin' shit out there.
The big fuckers in the background are what I'm calling grid writers. Their job is to expand the grid. They're huge. The light rail system is used to transport old and/or derezzed code and programs to the disposal area, essentially the wasteland.

SLICK DICK! I really hope you get a chance to finish this. This is looking dope!

this is looking really interesting, throw some shapes!

I think the writers looks pretty nice. Are they floating or at they some large industrial type machine just laying down grid everywhere? That is a unique idea and I'm with the others on this. Awesome.

Thanks guys.
Zerogun, the grid writers are like big, lumbering factories in a way. They just plug along slowly, writing new grid for the system expansion.

Got the color comp about as far as I want to take it. Feel free to critique it. Some things will definitely change along the way. Colors might not even be final (like the orange - was just playin' around). I need to get started on the scene though. =\

I LOVE the concept of grid writers. Looking forward to seeing this scene finished!

Great concept art - looking forward to seeing this in 3D!

awesome. Just awesome. I am keen to see where this goes. Great work.

damnn! sick concept! You still working on this?

Sorry for the lack of updates. I haven't had much time to do anything as work has been hectic.

I've just been roughing in geometry to get a sense of scene scale. This weekend I should have time to create the real assets.

Just a super WIP of the roughing out stage.

THe concept looks really cool !
I hope that you'll find some time to finish this scene.
Your rough looks good so far.

HAHAHAHA That is awesome. I love it.

Great Concept. Love seeing the progress from idea to finished concept painting and all over again in 3D. Keep it up and cannot wait to see the finished 3d Render.

Rough geo is in now. I'll have to adjust some of the background elements and grid, in order to get the scale correct to the comp. The distant bg will just be a matte painting.

Once I get the scale entirely nailed with all this place holder geo, I'll start working on the real assets for it.

Here's the rough geo block:

loving it man! keep it up!

Awesome stuff.

Tiny update.

Another small update:

The matte painting is just ripped from the concept right now, so it's not indiciative of final quality. Everything else is still very WIP.

Update




Still messing with everything, all content still very WIP.

This looks pretty awesome man. Curious how you are going to tackle the sky. Keep it up!

Thanks Cody! For the sky I think I'll just be relying mostly on the matte painting, since it's going to eat up most my texture res (1024x256). I'll also be adding some alpha effects stuff for clouds or fog that are closer to the foreground.


Here's another small update.

Great work, now I just want to see what final pic you will provide
Really promising so far !

Looking spectacular so far vass... I really dig how balanced everything is coming.
