Scifi door WIP

Been doing some modelling over the weekend, made good progress on one side of the main door. Still needs some more detailwork and some parts are missing, but almost done with the highpoly for this part atleast. Been getting used to meshfusion, takes some time to get into the groove, but its really useful for this kind of stuff.

Testing meshfusion & modelling doors

Started giving meshfusion a shot with the main door in the scene. Extremely powerful tool though it seems like it has its limitations still. Produces some inferior geometry and issues here and there, but as a whole it gives pretty great results fast. Can squeeze out shapes like these in matter of minutes, which is nice. Doesnt play well with some of the scripts I use and so on, but I will have to try to work around that :) Good stuff to say the least! Should speed up the process of creating this kind of asset quite a bit :)

Still extremely WIP and a long way to go, but now I think I have the tool figured out atleast.

More GIFs and doors!

I made two more (and alot heavier) GIFs of the main door, one from each side. Iterated a bit more on the movable parts and the design, I think I'm calling this blockout done and proceed to building the actual highpoly model after this.:) Still some designissues I need to work around and some more detailed moving parts, but I think this is good enough for now.

Highpoly renders

Made some renders of the highpoly-asset for the scene sofar, hard to render meshes with so many floaters, but here goes. No modularity in them really, except for normal mirroring and reusage, but trying to reuse highpolypieces as much as possible and build up a library for this scene.

Making sense of doors

Did some blocking out of the main door, trying to come up with a design that works and also can have some animation going on. Still very basic, need to go in and add more complex elements, but roughing in the shapes as I go. I normally animate stuff like this as I work on them in modo so I can make sure that they actually work.

(also GIF is double the speed, dont ask me why, I cant gif apparently)

Blockouts and pressure doors

Did some more blocking out of the scene aswell as playing around with lights abit, and adding another asset to the scene, some kind of pressure-hatches in the side-corridors. Once I have finished blocking up the main corridor elements I will be moving on to the main doors, which should be fun :)

Cables need love too!

A small designe experiment, making some different cable-connectors. Still untextured etc, still figuring out this whole PBR nonsense the kids are all talking about these days! Gonna try to pay some more attention to detail in this scene than I normally do. Still trying to figure out exactly how to approach the texturing of the whole thing right now aswell. Decisions, decisions... anyway, CABLES!

Space station + UE4

Cant help to do a little bit of scifi on the side! Working on a scifi environment, trying out some modelling tricks and getting used to PBR etc. Still extremely early, but here are a few shots:

Columns & UE4

Finally managed to get my subscription for UE4 working, transferred over all my old stuff to it, and had the time to sit down and make columns for the Imperial gardens scene. Still untextured and WIP shaders. Thinking about tackling the trees net, which should prove interesting.
