I haven't updated here in forever, I know. However, I have been very busy. In particular, I have started and completed another map. This one was done for a school project, and is supposed to portray a shantytown (in particular, Soweto, South Africa). It's a very small piece, but in the end, I was very proud of my accomplishment here. I will post my entire development through it.
For this piece, I needed to reskin one of Half-Life 2's citizen models, making him appear shirtless. The end results was quite terrible. Unfortunately, he looks like he is still wearing a shirt, just a brown, dirty one.
At this point, I was ready to start sprucing it up a little, using displacements and decals to break up the piece and keep it interesting.
By now, I had finished with the texturing and started adding models and props that I felt would be appropriate for a shantytown.
____________________________________________________________________The Final Pieces
After I completed the map, I needed some shots that I could actually display. So I took some good ones of the finished product, photoshop'd it up a little bit and had an absolutely great looking piece, methinks.
