The ECW Arena (Westwood College Game Art Competition: Los Angeles Campus vs. Southbay Campus)

I decided to do a re-vamp of an old project from my first texturing class.

The Dimebag Darrell Memorial Arena

My first class in texture mapping resulted in this as my final project.  Dimebag Darrell was the guitarist for Pantera as well as Damageplan.  He was murdered while onstage with Damageplan on December 8th, 2004.  In the middle of 2005 I had Texture Mapping as a class.  I figured this was a perfect time to create my own memeorial to one of the greatest guitarists to ever lived...
R.I.P Dime!

And here's the re-creation based on the project above.  This was for the Game Art Competition between the Los Angeles Campus (Where I went) and the South Bay Campus.  There were lots of entries for the environment competition and, unfortunately, I didn't take first place.

Here's a view more to the side... I was testing out different camera angles with the lights.

This is one of my personal favorites!  I love the way the lighting ended up in this shot!  Once I can animate better I want to have a cool move off the top of the entryway... hence the ladder and stacked tables!
