Hey guys, remember this thread?

https://starwarsbattlecry.forumotion.co.uk/t68-a-big-suggestion-for-environment-artists

Most of the team members voted yes.
So i'm going to start, and i chose Jabba's palace, i'll try to make all by myself (maybe i'll ask help with some things, but i'll see), and it is also a great oportunity for learning Zbrush, i always wanted to learn it. The Gonk droid is 95% done, so i'll start after it is done. I'll post layout suggestions and block out first.

EDIT: I changed, and chose Palpatine's office.

Ah great Idea, Jabba's Palace should have no annoying heightmapping, its just statics.
Good luck!
Don;t be afraid to ask for feedback hehe.

Hey guys, do you have suggestions for the layout? Something like Ande's suggestion for the Jedi Temple:

I'm going to make some too.

Well, SWBF's Jabba's Palace is pretty decent, although a bit too small I'd say.
Especially the main hall is very accrurate, so that doesn't have to be changed.

Yeah, the layout is decent although i'm going to change some things (especially the scale), and add unique things. Mainly inspired by the movie, tfu version and Ralph McQuarrie's paintings.

Hello guys, i think i'm not going to do Jabba's Palace, it is too ambitious for a first complete map for that project, and doesn't appeal me that much since it is much concrete walls etc...
So i decided to go for a smaller map and more appealing to me to make but not less popular, Palpatine's office as seen in the prequel trilogy, and i'm going to use this pic for the layout:

What do you think? I'm even more excited to work on this, it is more in my style: hard surface, props, sobre, nice design and color scheme, nice to learn and play with CryEngine 3 and a good excuse to work on my specular/ diffuse maps Very Happy
