My last Bioshock Item…Not really finished with it or anything. These were just practice, learning how Max 2010 operates.

Does any one know how to create text in Max I know Maya had a text tool, where ytou could pick the font, and it created it. I need to look around…Later!

I am getting more and more comfortable in Max. This object is from the same sheet I have been working off of…I still need to create some wall mounts for it, so it is not floating. Those will probably be next. Click to see the drawing sheet.

Thanks for looking!

I do not feel I got as frustrated modeling these as I got on the Crossbow. The objects I modeled, were inspired from concept art of wall clutter. I plan on doing more that were on the page. The fountain I am not so crazy about. The drawings are out of my Bioshock 2 art book…

Yup!

Doing a little practice. I know I want to add a grass texture to the grey floor, and maybe try some flowers or something? It is all practice practice practice either way!

ADDED: October 14th. I put some grass on the ground and totally reworked the cart. I may try some rocks and boulders and things like that to put around? I do not know. 1634 tri’s for the whole scene, and 1 1024×1024 color and normal maps.

The original cart concept.

Added the hay.

Original fence.

I am going to update this entry as I add more and more to this scene. This is something I have been working on, and I add to it little by little. Practice, is what this amounts to. I duplicated the walls, and floor to make the scene a little bigger. Also quickly modeled some lights to see what kind of effect it would bring. I feel like I need to double the amount of those types of lights to get the place lit correctly. I may try the area lights instead? Here it is, current as of Sept 9th. (Sept 11th)I added the air ducts, and some bill boards. I will probably texture the billboards tomorrow, it is only 3:40 in the morning

Scrapped this and moving onto to something else. I do not like the direction this is going…Some of the textures seem off(like the columns look like the need to be in a tomb or something), I may keep some of the props and use them later though

Third time

An update

The beginning

I will update periodically.

For some reason while I was reading and trolling the interwebs trying to learn about these mysterious “Next gen Maps” it kind of just made sense. This is what I just rendered out using mental ray. I do not remember all of the options, but I did get a diffuse map and normal on these models and they do not look like what I have done before. I have used bump maps and they looked atrocious! I feel good for the first time about my modeling, and to look at what I was putting out days ago is strange.

I think I am done with these pieces.
