Here’s another small update from our work. We got 10 days to finish this scene, and so much stuff yet to do… Crunch hours awaits us.
Enjoy the updates, all WIP stuff of course! 
(Again, to see more up to date progresses of this scene, check the original thread at game-artists.net)
Ground texture I made especialy for this scene:
PS. Thanks to some websites that have been making articles about our work, we really apretiate that we are getting the attention.
But, keep in mind that although that I was the one that started this, this is not MY work alone. There’s 3 of us working on this, Lee3Dee, Buddy, and me (HP).
Last week, I teamed up with Lee3Dee to recreate a scene from the movie Aliens.
Basically, this is a competition for the community Game-Artists.net, here’s the link for the competition details: http://events.game-artist.net/scene_from_a_movie/index.php
Movie: Aliens (1986)
Scene: Exterior of colony LV-426. (Hadleys Hope)
We already gathered a lot of really useful references from the Aliens fans websites, and the Making-of, from the movie, and got started modeling some of the stuff from the scene. For now, I’m modeling vehicles and smaller props, and Lee is taking care of the buildings. Dead line is 29 March, so we don’t have much time left, but I’m pretty confident we will finish it on time.
Now for the fun part, here’s a few screenshots of the stuff we made so far. (needless to say, all this stuff is still very WIP)
APC, high poly
A bit old, ingame screenshot. (Objects without textures)
Finalized APC with baked normal maps, and AO. (3DsMax viewport screenshots)
Lee has also been doing a really great job with the buildings, here’s some screenshots from his work:
