The Cellar (First WIP in ages)
 

Hi all,
After loosing a bunch of crap from my old computer i got really uninterested in maya and lost so much inspiration and motivation to continue on. I have recently gotten back into it again and i am starting by creating my first real enviroment scene. I am going for a stylised (Is that the right word for it) style...
Hope ya'll like it so far. Updates might be slow but stay tuned :)

Edit: Just realised that someone else is doing a cellar... this may change a bit now. Maybe a basement...

it is very..... black.... and..... white....

I like the high contrast actually. Its better than washed out colours.

lol im likeing the feel.... ill be waiting for more updates :D

Good decision getting back into it. Looks cool so far

Thanks,
I am going for a contrasting look. I have re-lit the scene so you can see more and i have started on the walls. Eventually the room will be filled with boxes and junk as well as light beams (Which i am still trying to work out) and other crap.

I can see this, that it is going to be good ... Im liking it so far ;)

Nice to also see you have returned to our beloved maya ;) lol

hey can u post a wire frame of the lighting?

thanks.

Thanks :)
Here is a zoomed out shot with the lights. Its really not that complicated. just a point light, directional light and a dome with shadows turned off. Rendered in MR with final gather turned on.

thanks but do u have a tut or can u just tell me how to make a dome light? do u just like make a sphear and cut it in half and then like assasin a light or somthin?


thanks sorry to bug ya im new to lighting kinda lol.

For that one all i did was cut a sphere in half, reverse the normals and turn ambience and coulor and all that up to maximum. I'll make a more detailed explanation later.

Nice lighting. Very creative.

also....WTF is with ur avatar lol Looks like the cookie monster

thats enough explation thanks :D

Glad i could help :)
Update...
I am going for a really old feel, like this hasn't been touched for years. Just started on some objects. I am probably gonna model some more boxes and a tapestry thing, or at least something clothey and teared cause i haven't really done that before. I am basically making this up as i go along so that way i can concentrate on the feel and look of the picture instead of the technical planning stuff i always get stuck on.

I got the avatar from a site called Uncyclopedia. I thought it was funny.

More updates should come over the weekend.

Nice work so far. Irregularities look great.
