Shots from a a final for a 3D modeling course a while back. The goal was to make a pirate cove, all other decisions were up to students. I did a lot of the modeling and texturing for props, as well as lighting and final terrain passes. Atleast a hundred hours for two novices and it was super janky but it felt incredible to pull it off. This was my first ever CG class.
lhumungus Thanks! It was indeed in Unreal. I've only played with Unity a little bit. Look for a partner who doesn't have the same interests as you! In my case, my partner was more interested in level design so I got to push verts till my eyes bled. Joy!
That's awesome, I love it. Janky or not, it's an achievement. I'd love to collaborate with someone on a level. Is that UE4? Doesn't look like Unity...
