WoLD Reference Challenge 2 - Evo

Name: Abandoned Movie Theatre
Editor: Hammer
Start Date: 15/3/10

Hi everyone, this will be my first go at a reference challenge, wish me luck :)
I've not yet decided on a definitive time plan for the project, so I'll leave it out for now.

Photographic reference:

Step 1 (~1.5 hrs)

Other than the large windows either side of the main entrance, it's pretty much dead on scale as far as I can see. More to come!

Step 2 (~45 mins)

Step 3 (~30 mins)

I had a bit of a play with the lighting, too ^.^.

A good start, Evo. The scale is looking good at the front. Will you be altering the depth of the building? - it's a lot further back in the reference.

Thanks, and yeah - it's actually the first thing I did after posting my last picture. More soon to come, I'd like to post screenshots frequently rather than after a large period of time working on it. I'd like to go back to this thread and see it slowly coming together.

Step 4 (~1 hr)



Changed the game from L4D to L4D2 to allow for day-time skybox textures.. duh! I'm vaguely working with the lighting, It'll be tweaked after the texture stage no doubt.

Step 5 (~1 hr)

[Evo]

Step 6 (~45 mins)

Made the road/wall go all the way around and messed with the lighting again. You can see the trees at this angle, too.

Step 7 (~1 hr)

Step 7 (~1 hr)

Looking good, Evo. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's textured.

Step 8 (~30 mins)

Looking good, Evo. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's textured.

Thanks Smog, although texturing isn't exactly my forte :s

It's about to be Evo, it's about to be.

Centre wall area, in red, has 12 'struts' ; 2 outside window, 2 over window, 4 central. Compare to yours, which has 3 over window.

It looks good, but those upper windows look off scale, but I can't figure out if it's cos of the cam fov.

Sadly I couldn't finish this on time, coursework has got in the way yet again :/
This is where I'm up at the moment:

Step 9 (1 hr)
