So hmm on my list... Iv kept an excel sheet up with everything including the triangle count.
I think ill crack on with the remaining smaller assets;
Animal trough,
Broom,
chest,
Chicken house,
Cornharvest tool,
Eel cages,
.... Yada yada yada
If I can get the small ones out of the way and unwrapped then I can crack on with the larger stuff.
FEEDBACK
ReplyDeleteI think this is an interesting project with a lot of potential.
My main concern based on the images shown at the presentation is that every thing is a bit 'mechanical' and looks like it was built by machine tools, all the angles and planes are perfectly geometrical.
I think you need to do some study of 'hand made' or 'artisanal' craft and look at ways of 'deregularising' your architecture and town planning.
For the project to really shine, I would be looking for some really super organic modelling, a sense that things have been built by humans with relatively crude tools.
Some of this will need to be built into the geometry, some of it in the use of textures and some of it through how you arrange the assets.
At the moment it's all a bit too neat, regular and orderly. That makes it a little dull and lifeless to my eyes.
Your ash tree model encapsulates this issue. It looks sort of like a tree made from pipes by a robot that doesn't know what trees look like.
Thanks for the feedback Mike, yeah I see what you mean - If I don't have that element of built-by-crude-means it simply wouldn't look like a realistic settlement.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Ill look over my assets so far and try to give them more of an edge. For the larger assets like the houses and the pier/harbor Ill definitely try to translate the craft - the reference I taken of the village is quite useful as even though it was rebuilt it was done using the traditional techniques for construction which'll help me.
Thanks again
