[Misc/Battle Scene] The Last Act of Mombasa WIP

Jean-Luc · Post by **Jean-Luc** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 3:49 pm

For the past couple days, I've been working on conceptualizing a large scale scene in New Mombasa showing a battle of much larger proportions than what I'm used to in rendering.
This is what I currently have modelled, and I should have an image up later tonight of a few buildings on the sides of the street.

I don't wish to divulge any more details about this for now, but I can tell you this. It's going to be big, and there's going to be a lot to look at.

Ill be waiting. Pitty there is nothing much to look at now though.

That looks great. I'm looking forward to the final.

More done, but in all honesty, I'm not sure I'm really fond of the WIP building on the left. We'll see.

Interesting...

And more...

Modelling is 80% complete, then onto texturing, lighting, then final composition. My goal is to have the entire image complete by Wednesday, October 22nd.

Current polycount is approximately 260,000

I love it, but the curved legs of the lowest lilly pad platforms could be a little more natural.

A good point Yodel, I'll be sure to change that.

Been messing around with the water for a while, came up with something I'm alright with, and that I can post-process in Photoshop.

Anyways, due to scheduling conflicts (aka, college), I am uncertain as to if the piece will be done by Wednesday, but I can promise that it will be done this week.

And, believe it or not, I have another sizeable project right after this one that fans of my past work should enjoy.

Pretty swanky as always Jean, I like the twisted legs on the platforms.

Yes, they look nice for current styles, but not with Bungie's interpretation of the future.
But it is looking very "swanky".
