Reminds me of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Looks nice. Where’s the music taken from?

Really nice work !

Thank you, music is from Incompetech http://incompetech.com/

Thanks Phex! I saw your work on the asset store, looks great!

Latest update:

  • cleaned up the material directory structure
  • added and improved specular maps

That’s great ! Reminds me of Skyrim ! :smile:

Thanks Patapom! Oblivion and Skyrim were definitely influences.

Looks very good. Is it possible to make any of the pathways more oval versus triangular?

I could, but it would take a bit of effort. I would need to re-model, re-map, and re-texture all of the tunnel pieces. I would also need to build some transition pieces from the triangular tunnels to the oval tunnels. Probably a new doorway too.

It would take at least a week and delay my work on the next package. I think it would add value to the package so I wouldn’t be opposed to doing it. If there is enough demand for it I will work on it.

It would be something I would definitely appreciate you doing Ryan not that it doesn’t look great already but maybe a mix of the two would be ideal as not everything should be oval.

:slight_smile:

OK, I’ll put it on the front burner. What I will do is create a duplicate of all the tunnel pieces, but much wider and a more oval shape. I will also add at least one connection piece to transition from triangular tunnels to oval tunnels. This will probably take a week or so. I’ll post an update here when I update the package on the asset store.

Thanks for the feedback guys. :slight_smile:

In honor I will buy it when you have the new rev in.

Say hi to Vanc for me I am presently in Chile:)

Cool, thank you.

Here’s a quick shot showing the first pass on the new oval tunnel shape and scale. Too big, too small?

My opiniion that ground is too flat… not natural for “cave”. This is tunnel for road not nature enviroment.

I agree, I just blocked in the rough shape. I’ll post a shot of the sculpt soon.

First pass on a sculpt for the first oval tunnel section.

Looks good! I’ll buy it once you have the oval tunnels in. Or sooner, if I get paid next week. :slight_smile:

This is much better but still it wants two or three corridors to make it more different and not same. I know that it is hard :(.
