Unknown Worlds Art Test

Time for completion: 50 hours or less

Polygon count: Around 1,500

Texture Map size: 1024x1024

Instructions

Please choose one of the rail car concept designs from NS2_RailCar_Sketch.jpg in the .zip below. The rail car is a map element which would be designed to carry crates and cargo in the Natural Selection universe and could be used by players in the game as transport to quickly get from one part of a map to another. Some of the designs utilize a simpler basic rail car technology and some feature a more advanced MAGLEV design.

You will have 50 hours to model, UV, and texture a game ready rail car asset. Please try to stay within the specified polygon budget of roughly 1,500.

  • We only require a color texture map, but feel free to create any other texture maps you have time for (i.e. normal maps, specular maps)
  • Included are some additional color environment concepts featuring a few variations of the rail car. Please refer to these images to get a feel for the visual style we are looking for. You can also check out the our concept art gallery for additional style reference.

Upon completion please send the source model file (in either Max or Maya format), texture file and at least one render to jobs@unknownworlds.com.

Please try to stay within the allotted time. That said, this isn't a race! We are looking for quality, so there are no points for finishing the test in 10 hours instead of 50.

Good luck!
