[WIP] Western Homestead UT3

Hey there, I have to create a western homestead environment for class this month, so... you kids are coming along on the trip.

I have to make a concept image to give to the instructor to get approved before moving onto actually making stuff, so when I realized how terrible I am at just painting straight up in photoshop I decided to start modeling a basic version of everything and I'll just paint ontop of that (basically use the render as an overall AO pass for the whole thing)

anyhow, I just rendered my blockin scene. I'll paint over it soon and repost.... but yea.



Basically none of this stuff will really be used in the final version (maybe the windmill lol) but... I need to make a pretty picture before I can start in UT3.... I figure this is part of the process so I'll toss it in the thread.

Pretty cool, are you allowed to use Sketchup? Its a great concepting tool, I export it out and render using max.

Huh... didn't even think of sketchup. I haven't toyed with it at all... but I should play with it some.

Really we could use any method we wanted to get this first concept down. A lot of people just painted in photoshop.... I tried but my perspective was all off, and I just fail at drawing well anyways haha.

Yeah same here, for a game design project I created the sets in 3d. Even though it was a 2d game, I could render it out on a 2d plain using the left view port.

You can get a free version of sketchup only thing it doesnt do is export to 3ds files but you can get plugins that do that for free.

can it export to .obj though? I'm a Maya user :P Maya doesn't care much for .3ds haha

The pro version can, dont think the free one can by default.

However you can get a plugin that can do it, here is a information about it and a download.

I ended up texturing it rather than really painting it... I textured it in photoshop though which at first seemed like a good idea... but.. no. I originally was just going to paint over everything.. but it just looked bad... so I did this... and it still looks weird.. but it's a concept... so... yea.

:o
Thats pretty cool! :)

Reminds me of the barnyard map from UT2004. Such an amazing map.

Looks pretty good, but the windows and stuff need to be done, you know that anyway, i was thinking maybe you could have them boarded up, but i dont know what type of theme i am looking at
