CONTEST - EPIII Location WIP: Mustafar Control Room - JeneralJarJar

I had kinda wanted to do something on Utapau, but decided against it because I couldn't find good "start" and "end" points. At least by doing this room I'll be a little more "constrained" but still be able to add lots of detail.

Started work on the hologram table:

Another great pick!
BTW: There's a load of great texture reference for the floors in the "Art of" book for EPIII.

You've already got some nice details in the table there.
Looking forward to this one.

Have fun!

 

was going to do this one myself, but I decided on Palp's Office in the end. Nice work so far. I like the level of detail. Will you be texturing?

 

Finished with the hologram table.

Yes, I do intend to texture this. The floor patern is next...

 

lovely! Excellent amount of detail!

 

Looks good Craig! very nice

 

BUMP (?)

 

Beveling the floor details.

Looks like another great JeneralJJ model! Keep it up!

 

Very nice. What method do you use to bevel your floors?

 

I always start with a plane. After some slices I just extrude and chamfer edges. Then I remove "excess" edges and polys to end up with something like this:

Humm, how do you cut the diagonals to match up with each other. I can never control it. Now, are you using slice, or something called cut?

 

I use slice or more often quickslice. Be sure your vertex and rotation snaps are on ('a' and 's' keys).

 

I'm getting back into this. Did some work on one of the wall panels:

Kool detailing.

 

Nice work so far !!

 

Here is my final entry for the competition.

I couldn't allocate the time to finish the control panels, but I'm fairly happy with the rest and feel it's pretty accurate.

Modeled by Craig S. Underwood.

Wow... looks good. I didn't notice but there sure is a lot of detailing work in this room. Hopefully you'll be able to finish it. I love location work. I think we should do EP3 locations again.. give people a chance to finish some of these. I'd like to see if we could give more prizes too.

 

wow Craig, awesome work!
