The Art of Polygon'ing

  pretty crazy how far this stuff has come! great for spawning ideas.

 

I felt like i really needed to nail the visual style now or forever this will look like poo. After tons of tweaking on the post process volume and lighting changes this is looking very much like the final target I want to achieve with this scene. Next time I need to remember to hit this stuff early! I also started to realize that when its only half baked assets in there, it looks like ass. Once I started doing more refined buildings, things started to come together, like silluoutte and layers etc.  I was reluctant but forced myself to semi finish the buildings, and adding the roofshapes really helped even though it was a pain in the ass.  I started to also frame some sections. I need to remember to try and rule of thirds everything, not sure why recently i stopped caring about composition.  

Was pretty close to shutting down this project, but when you decide to grind through the "ugly" phase of a project it usually turns out half decent.  This is around 15 hours about a third of the way through what i would expect a small scene like this would take.  

So I baked out a roof tile and slapped them on some planes to see if that can salvage the scene. It didnt really do much...  

I tried changing the trim sheet to all white and it made the windows pop nicely. Again here I am just looking for anything small that can keep me going, instead I should be finishing some buildings.
