Competition #15 - Mtg_Kirin

[Mtg_kirin]

Howdy I don't post here to much, but this contest looked like alot of fun and something I can learn from.

My entry will be a metal music video set. Inspired by the music videos of bands like the devil wears prada, norma jean, as i lay dying, and many more.

Scene: A very old/dirty motel type room. In the corner there is a fairly large bed with sheets covering a dead body in the center. There will be some kinda paper pile on the dresser and something written on the mirror.

Features:
-Grudge/Grime
-Harsh lights
-Hard Core Feel.

here is my layout:

hey sry for posting so much... but last thing for the night. Just testing layout. Seems to all fit and with the proper lighting should all work.. I hope

right now looking super cramped so time will tell If I wanna open it up a bit.

[doylle]

That's some serious research you did there, I'm interested to see where this one is going

[Mtg_kirin]

Started the bass this morning. About an hrs worth of work. Im at 1038tris, I want the entire thing to land under 1000, so I need to trim quite a bit more because Im still not done. Also need to figure out why the normals on my pickup are all funky.

(because limit is 10k I may need to get rid of 1 guitar
bass+ guitar = 2-3k
drums 2-3k
bed 1k
synth 1k
walls/floor 500
dresser mirror 1k)
but who knows these are just my guesses.

[Mtg_kirin]

pretty much done with the bass, other then texture. Crits would be appreciated



Idea for the body I may have something like this painted on it

[Mtg_kirin]

just playing with some textures diffuse and basic specular right now

[lilgrudgeboy]

How in the world didnt i THINK OF THIS! WOW great idea! Probably one my favs!

now i have to think of an idea

I do not think that the mirror should be over 500 polys? But Hey..That is just my guess

[Mtg_kirin]

o that should be dresser/mirror 500tris for both.

but thanks I like the idea too

how about the guitar graphic/model
