More WIP

Here's me raining down more images:

WIP of the kitchen

So after I imported the models from 3ds max to maya, I gave them basic textures and here's an update:

Work in Progress shots

This is what I have done so far:

Kitchen references

Some references we are all using. These are 3d. They vary from VRay rendered to Mental Ray.

Brand new ideas

The previous story has been annuled. There's a new fresh idea. The story can be read at the main group page. However, the set we're designing is mainly two rooms. 1) The kitchen 2) The garage. Here are some video references that I gathered:

More update of the living room

Update of the living room

This is an update of the living room. I used Mental Ray to get that quality. Unfortunatly, the render time is MADNESS!!!!!!!!

2.23sec render time with Final Gather!!!!!
0.39sec render time without Final Gather

Update

22 Oct 2007

I managed to finish a graffiti piece. Took me about 45min to do it from start to finish.

I've put it on the environment set, and this is the outcome:



Of course the set is texture-less but with decayed, tiled texture, it should blend in well.

Stairs and whatnot!!!

I managed to model and texture my stair set. I wanted to give it an old, decayed look. I left a bloodstain to indicate something gore happened. The blood looks fresh, this is to indicate that the gore happened no long ago!!!

This is a random table that I plan to place it on a ramdom spot. I also threw a damaged Mona Lisa painting, just to spice the wickedness of my environments :D

Props for my set!!!!

Since the project's mood is dark and grainy, I though to design the interior as the look of 50's - 60's. Therefore, my first prop is a decayed, distroyed and outdated television set.

This is the main reference I am using to create the prop:



I have started modelling and this is the WIP:



UPDATE:

1024* diffuse texture w/512* Alpha texture:

Inspirations and references and my role

Inspirations and References

I was primarily inspired by a game environmental artist named Andrew Hamilton.
These image was the kickstart of the mood and the feel I though would suit the project:



















































































































I found http://www.pbase.com/giordanoitaly/psychiatrichospital that I reckon could be a major source of reference for our project.

My Role

My role to the group is stricktly modelling and texturing. So I will be most likely posting a lot of work in progress of 3d models.
