Photorealistic mars! What do you think?

update with new images!





As the title says! i have been working on this for almost a year. (Well i have also been busy on another project)
But i am finally to a stage where I believe, this is going to look awesome!
What do you think? gameplay is in progress.
Regards! T

 

Looks great.

It's it based on the Mars DEM data from NASA?

 

I think you could use a little more orange ambient light/GI and orange fog

 

Yes indeed! I got a 10km square area by now...:-o

 

Looks really cool.

 

This looks like something I would want to buy, to have or to steal

 

Thnx! well no need to steal! I am sure the price will be super affordable! ;-)

 

Wow! Is this going to go on Steam?

 

Have you tried adding some ssao or something of that nature? Textures and models are PERFECT but the lack of shading on the undersides and backs of things is pretty glaring, at least to me.

 

Yes! Althought there is no release date yet!

 

Thnx, yes that is a good tip! Very much interested in getting this into a much higher level! I haven't found any good ssao (similar) effects that are really deliver good results and performance! Do you have some good links? Much appreciate! Regards! T

Sonic Ether is always a good choice! He also has an interesting realtime GI implementation that doesn't work in all circumstances but would probably be perfect here.

 

Checked it...liked it...bought it!... thnx for the tip!!

 

I was hoping this would be an asset. Looks awesome, and especially if it's based on real thing. How about textures, are they from earth or mars? And what's the story? Looks like terraforming has already started

 

Was also hoping its going to be an asset. Would love to pay for this lovely project!
Good job!

 

@128bit @chelnok

heey there..thnx! I am considering making this an asset. Problem is that I have no experience in submitting an asset and one would need to buy some additional plugins to get the look you see in this images. So not quite sure at the moment how to make this happen the best way everyone is lucky. I'll keep you updated when things are moving around this!
The textures are self made and based upon Mars. The story is stil a bit secret. ;-)

 

I've seen and bought assets which requires other assets. For example if you have used RTP, you just need to mention it in description. If there is some image effects like third party bloom don't add it to pack, and mention it in desc. that there was some fx in example pictures / videos. Thats totally normal practise. But you might want to publish your own game first, i know i would.

 

thnx @chelnok! I am considering this to be happen! Sounds also interesting way to get the project funded btw!

 

has been a long time since June! Anyways, updated this post with new images!
Hope you like it!
Regards! T

 

Yes, I like it. I really, REALLY like it. I can't wait to see it in a game or at the asset store. Fantastic work!

 

Very very nice!

 

Thnx guys, appreciate your likes very much! That is that thing that keeps creative people alive and going on ;-)
