UDK Pirate Challenge - Vaansinn

[Vaansinn]

Hey guys,

I am new to this forum and I just want to say I have seen some great work here already
....sry...
just want to say a big HELLO to everyone here

But back to topic,

I am going for a darker tone and decided to place my setting in a cave, some destroyed ships/shipparts...trying to make it look like an old abandonned pirate cave

This is my first screen, trying to get the setting and idea sorted...



I just reaslised I shouldn't take highres screenshots :P

Sry about that

Cya soon

[Vaansinn]

So this my progress so far. I decided to focus on the ship first, and the cave and the details later.

I can't see the images?

[Vaansinn]

mmh that's weird. Am I doing something wrong with Dropbox? At home I can see the images but here at work I can't see them either. I shouldn't use dropbox anymore :/

I'll update everything tonight at home.

[Exigopro]

Tinypic is easy to use, i think everybody can see that. www.tinypic.com

[Vaansinn]

Thank you. I'll try that

[Vaansinn]

Just a quick update.

I am focusing on the buildings at the moment...and it kinda reflects my recent status "work in progress"



Please let me know if you can't see the image.

[PhantomFragger]

Welcome to the competition first of all and i can see this image now, it's a good start looking forward to seeing more

[Vaansinn]

Hey guys,

couldn't do anything for a while, unfortunately
But I am still trying to make the best out of it.

I created different "sprites" and have to put them together now for my improvised pirate bay.

This is the pub I was working on today and I hope I get a few building done in the next few days to show you better what I was going for.









That's it for today. Will update you in a few days

So there is my update:

There's a new piano player in town and he brought his piano:



And the office:



And the rest:





I still have to admit that there are some great works out there and I really feel mine looks rather boring :/

But hey...let's continue for the lulz

[Deltathunder]

Looks great matey..The piano is really clever use of assets.
Good work..arrrrr

[BasketQase]

Yeah, the piano's great ^_^

And I don't think it's a boring level. You have really interesting structures and lots of detail. I think some of it just gets lost in the uniformity of the texture. There are a number of relatively easy adjustments you can do -- swapping textures on some of your wood, making some "painted" wood by doing color variations of Warren's wood texture, or just making your own texture entirely -- that could help bring out your detail. Also, the right lighting can make a cube look fantastic. I've learned to reserve judgement on a creation until I've seen it lit. : )

Totally digging the piano. Creative use of the assets.
