Rupture Farms scene - Unreal Engine3
 
This is scene in Unreal Engine3 made of custom models created in Maya. Most of models i created in single day to or three weeks ago (except barell model and round rupture logo which i created 3 or 4 months ago :D).

Don't pay attention to this strange tile material which is on every element of scene. This is just Default material in UE3. I will create proper ones later :).

I also want to add, that proportions of all elements on scene isn't good, and will be changed :)

looks good, what sort of polycount is it? those barrels look pretty high poly

Fartuess 10-30-2009 05:56 AM

now barrels have 1240 tris, but there is model which have 4640 tris. I mean this metal things under walkeable platforms. Unfortunately i dont know how to decrease polycount of that models without losing entire shape.

Although I belive that Unreal Engine 3 shouldn't have problems with that amount of polygons :D

Wow

then yeah leave it, s'great as it is, you could use opacity maps for scaffolding in the distance, maybe, it'd be low poly but it would look flat

Update:

Those screens are from today. I add some me model which i made today :)

nice work on the lighting, I always thought that section looked a little out of place, really bright compared to the rest of rupture farms

Fartuess 10-30-2009 01:38 PM

if i can be honest it is only temporary lightning :D. Just a few point lights with large radius ;]. Now i mainly work on modelling. When i finsh it i will start UV mapping, creating textures and shaders. Lightning, Post Process scene effect, DOF, Fog volumes, Lens Flares, Emitters etc :).

Chubfish 10-30-2009 05:58 PM

Looks pretty sweet at the moment. If I had to complain about anything really it would be about the shortness of the third screen (how the doors are so close to each other) but you already said you'd fix proportion so nice job.

Although I hardly ever go on Unreal 3 anymore you could potentially make a mod for it if you put enough time into making screens and AI and whatnot (just an idea).

luke3212 10-30-2009 08:33 PM

Awesome. i tried doing this for the source engine but, eeeh.. it failed, anyway looks nice

Fartuess 10-31-2009 02:07 AM

@Chubfish

Well every screen ( part anlogical to part of environment which was on single screen in original Abe's Odysee) have 1024x1024 unreal units). Probably it should be 1280x1024 (because Abe runs on monitors with proportions 4:3)

I doubt i will create playable mod from this. I can't create characters. I once try to create slig model (which should be easier than creating human character) but i failed. The same thing refer to scripting :).

Now i'm concentrated on creating enviroment. When i finish Zulag1part1 ( i mean this screens http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/PSX/Oddw...lag1-Zone1.png ) then i will think about making it playable :)

Crashpunk 10-31-2009 02:30 AM

Nice work! I really don't know how you lot do it!

Fartuess 10-31-2009 09:29 AM

Today i've been working only in Unreal Editor and costructing next parts of level from existing models. No new models are created.

Proportions are better now ( size of one part 1280x1024 instead of 1024x1024)

Don't complain about some levitating barrels ;). I will make new barrel model from beginning those have bad proportions of different parts of it. I also noticed, that barrels aren't located randomly :)

Grieva 10-31-2009 05:44 PM

Lookin good, the barrels stretching off into the distance looks as cool as it does in the game, nice work

Ive not seen much of the Unreal 3 engine, can it do the volume light type effect in the original, so that the barrels in the distance fade into the background?

Crashpunk 11-01-2009 02:22 AM

How do you do it!

STM 11-01-2009 03:04 AM

Wow, if you finish rupture farms you could re create a 3d 2d version of of it therefore making a new AO minigame?

Fartuess 11-01-2009 03:31 AM

Firstly i must finish it :). Then i will think about it :)

Fartuess 11-01-2009 06:40 AM

I created new barrel model which have 560 polygons and looks more similiar to original one.

Grieva 11-01-2009 11:05 AM

nice work man, how much more modelling work is left do you think?

Fartuess 11-01-2009 12:20 PM

i think that for this zone it i made 80-90% of models (eg. third screen background models), but also some of existing probably need remodelling, or creating high-poly versions for mormalmapping.

What about your Big Bro?

____________
Edit:

If we count models from secrets, then i'm in 80% :)

Fartuess 11-02-2009 11:22 AM

One Screenshot from today:

http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/3...zulag1s.th.jpg

I've made few UV mapping, shaders, and add two texture (which is temporary, and will be modified), and created one model :)

Grieva 11-02-2009 01:27 PM

lookin good, judging by the temporary textures you've UV unwrapped the barrels and the sign very nicely,
eventually your going to have to rotate a lot of the barrels though, it's going to look odd (pun?) if the RuptureFarms logo is always facing in the same direction

scipionyx 11-03-2009 06:00 AM

wow what you do is epic! 8D will you also make some other parts like Monsaik lines or Stocky Yards or just Rupture Farms?

well what ever you do I'm sure it will turn out amazing *__*

Fartuess 11-03-2009 06:49 AM

If i finish Rupture Farms, then i probably try creating Stock yards (without Free fire zone)

Fartuess 11-05-2009 10:17 AM

Unreal Development Kit has been relased. It's free access to Unreal Engine 3.5 (but only for non-comercial use). I probably will continue creating this scene in new Engine :D

STM 11-07-2009 01:40 AM

this is awesome keep posting here don't let the thread die

Fartuess 11-07-2009 05:48 AM

Well... I heven't posted anything, because now I'm testing new features of Unreal Engine 3, and playing with program called SpeedTree Modeler :)

I'll post something when i return to creating this scene.

Fischkopf 11-09-2009 02:15 AM

This could be a great UT2D Map. I can already imagine a remake of Abe's Oddysse with Unreal 3 Engine :P

Fartuess 11-09-2009 07:56 AM

This is screenshot from this scene moved to new UE3 :). Now Default Material is white and blue instead of white and grey.

http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/1...zulag1u.th.jpg

This screenshot shows only light chanel (Without material information). You can see some blue lightning which was created by new feature called Global Illumination which include radiocity effect :)

Fartuess 11-12-2009 07:57 AM

Not much done. I made banner with Scarab and add some details for column model. Now i'm going to make some background models :)
