Environment - Container docks

[Interactionman]

Yes, it's another Splash Damage art test thread!

I found the concept recently and figured I'd have a go at it myself. Here's the link for those that haven't seen it before - http://www.splashdamage.com/envarttest

I'm going to try to make it look like Brink as much as possible, hence the shipping containers.





Not much progress yet as I'm super busy at work right now but I'm pretty happy with the modelling/layout so far. I'm way under the 20K limit they set so I'll add extra details later like more trash and bits of metal plates welded on here and there. I definitely need an old rubber tyre in there!
I'm undecided on leaving the corrugated panels on the sides at the moment. They use a lot of extra polys but it's looks pretty good. I'm trying out a normal map with and without to see what I can get away with. I also put in a few extra subdivisions so I could deform a couple of the containers as if they had fallen and got misshapen.

I'll start on texturing next...

good start man !
what did you have planned for the lighting ?

[Interactionman]

Thanks. I haven't thought too much about lighting yet, but I do want to put it into the Unreal Editor. Kind of kill two birds with one stone, since I've been meaning to do some more work with that for a while now.

I looked at the art test on the site link, what are the specs for the textures? I would think being environment, that they would be 2048 by 2048, however it just doesn't say, as far as I can tell.
