Level Progress #7

For the Finishing touches to the offices I made quite a few small props and placed them around just to give the room a more realistic look and add some variation to them, I also created a PC and mouse and keyboard for the desks.

Level Progress #6

I have finished the main area of my level, it's meant to act as a sort of lobby, I put in Sci-Fi like advertisements around that you'd usually see in media.

Level Progress #5

Today I've been working on assets for the office to cluster them up a bit, I'm having a few shadow issues at the moment in which the assets are casting a shadow on the ceiling.

I've also added a ground floor sort of thing while I was working on the elevator, walking up to the doors will open them and once you step inside the doors will close and the the elevator will go up, Once at the top the doors open to the main area of my level and close behind you.

I believe my level is almost at completion with a few small assets to finish off here and there.

Level Progress #4

I have been working on adding some variety and eye interests into my environment, as I'm going for a clean Sci-Fi environment I've emphasised on lighting, Though I'm not happy with how the ceiling looks so I will be creating a new texture to replace that which will dim the environment rather than having it be so hard on the eyes.

To add a bit of Sci-Fi pop I've created sort of advertisement posters & banners but in a futuristic way in which they scroll and brighten up the area adding depth to the lighting and reflections, This I feel adds a more realistic approach to how current day is plastered with advertisements and this would be the next step of advertising.

Level Progress #3

Recently I have been polishing off some areas of my level and creating the smaller assets to fill the rooms.

Here is my lift up to the offices, It's meant to look very minimalistic and clean, sort of like a white room where it's completely bare but not being entirely empty, I made use of emissive maps to bring out lightning detail as well as Normal maps to add detail to the walls.

Not much has changed to the main plaza except that I have removed the reception area, I wasn't able to place the lift where I originally wanted and have the room look normal, so now the lift opens and you walk up a set of steps to the offices in one seamless manner.

For the offices I changed the floor and the ceiling, as I felt the orange was far too strong, So I added some white into the mix with a scrolling desk advertisement.

Level Progress

This week I have been working on textures and assets for the environment as well as experimenting with emissive lighting on textures.

This will be the sort of table and chaired area.

The receptionist area, with a base mesh of a circular desk.

This will be what the offices will look like without any assets currently in.

Character Project Thumb Nails

Concept Thumbnails for the Alien, I wanted my alien to be Organic but the appearance of a machine, So I created mechanical / armoured looking thumb nails for the alien and chose the bottom right one to progress with. 

Concepts for the Side Kick / Hero, For the hero I decided to go for a female that was sleek and rogue like, The side kick was going to be a male Alien that assists but I didn't think it'd be a great mix
