i thought bunkers are military strongholds that offer prottion while you attack outside forces?

If so where are windows/exits/openings or weaponry to attack outside forces?

It's a good start, might be a bit dark but that's not to hard to change.

I would be interested to see a wireframe, also if you have some other shots so I can see what else is going on that would be cool. user added images

Actually i bilieve a bunker should be well lit inside, vary hard to see on the outside(as to not give away your position).

Also there seems to be too much empty room. A bunker should be well fortified, and have enoguh suplies to hold off an attack for quite some time. I suggest having random ammo dopisits, weaponry and so on lying around.


Um.. might help if you explain what this is for.

Ah, but what about nuclear bunkers? Simply a protection from outside influences. Although I don't know if hiding from a nuclear attack in a bunker with glowing green ooze on the floor is the wisest of moves...

As for crits, same as the others. lighting. particularly just above the door in that 2nd shot. In a room of that size, if intended for human use, I don't think any shadow shud truely fade to black. Consider strip lighting, or if u still want to keep the dank mood, maybe some red backup lights. And some guiding lights to the doors... Just my 2 cents

Personally I love work on environments, its like good bass- it really gives meaning to the flow of the piece. I just can't be bothered to do them myself user added image nice one!

o.k guys just want to clear up a point here. The title Bunker may of been slightly missleading as it is not an actual real bunker located anywhere, just a kind of nuclear fall out shelter underground that I dreamt up. Thanks for the notes on the lighting I do tend to lean towards dark atmospheres but the comment about shadow fading is very helpful.

Hi Phil,
Looking good mate - really good start. user added image

I like the rarely used / poorly maintained look (inc the faint numbering on the doors). You could look at adding some more variation on top of your base textures - for instance you could add wear to the floor near the doors (where they could have scraped the ground during the years of opening), cracks in the tile work on the ground (heavy items dropped etc) and maybe look at slight bump mapping to show the grouting gap between the times (should give you some nice little highlights on that section) - On the brick an concreate work again you could look at variation like damage/wear an tear (stained walls from leaking pipes, cracks, chips etc). Could even add a few rusted signs on the walls (for scale) or continue with the faded painted decals as you've done on the doors.

Keep us posted mate!
Cheers,
Trev

It's turning into an Escape Studios forum, nice work (as I said before) and with the alterations it will be even better user added image
