Woah, first post
Here's a little bit of something I did for Quake4. I used some dirt decals from the original game, but the rest is all custom content.

Screens:






Any suggestions for improvement?

The volumetric lighting really works well and the walls are very nicely done (wood - concrete transition). The props feel a little random at time, would be nice to have an overall theme although I could see it working just fine in a max payne setting

I like it. Maybe a fire somewhere would be cool. Maybe some dramatic sun beams puring through the roof top. Radical!

That sweet work...
Maybe you should model a rat and having him poking its out out of the tyre...

@requiem2d: My main motivation for this scene was to make some custom textures and models, but you're right it looks at some point too much like a room filled with random stuff. Will try to stick more to a particular theme next time.

@lhumphries: I also thought about making a crack in the roof where sun beams come out of, but I've already had some light rays coming from the windows so I thought it would be too repetitive to have some coming from the ceiling also. But good idea with the fire element somewhere

@P2xelgen: That's a nice idea with the rat, but to be honest I think I lack the skill to do that. Haven't ever made a creature and I don't know how to rig one either. But nevertheless I like your idea.

Thanks guys for your comments and feedback so far. Very much appreciated

looking great, though I got to agree a bit on the randomness. I think you could easily fix that by moving some props around, ie put the tire closer to a wall to give it a slightly more 'cleaned up' look.
the only two minor crits are the flower (which doesn't really go well with the chaos, would be good in a somewhat tidied up room though) and the specularity of the brick wall in the second picture (seems a bit too high compared to the rest of the scene).

I like the piece, the tiles that are broken up should have matching tile on the ground that would actually fit back into the wall. You have a square tile laying against the wall but it doesn t fit with the damage. I really like the mood of it and agree that it could be a setting for max payne or even the punisher.

That looks awesome. I'd like to have a walk around to take a look at stuff in-engine

and the specularity of the brick wall in the second picture (seems a bit too high compared to the rest of the scene).

The specular map for that texture is not higher than for the other ones, it's just that the light is a bit too strong there. And yeah, the flowers may look a bit too saturated.

Actually that's what I did. There are some more broken tiles on the floor which you probably can't see due to the perspective of the screenshot.

Thanks again for feedback

Little bit of an update, some new textures and a new layout. Could have added more foliage and grass but I guess I'll do that next time. Main focous was lighting.
