For my third and final month of finals, I'll be recreating this hall with an escalator and staircase. This is definitely the most complicated and difficult piece of my portfolio work, and it was extremely hard to visualize in a 3D setting. I cannot find the source for my reference, so I don't have any other angles, which makes setting up this scene a bit of a pain.
Being larger than my other pieces, it was a lot harder to get the proportions to look correct. The hall definitely needs to be widened a bit more, and there are pieces of concrete missing from the ceiling. I need to go in and make more specifically-sized pieces of geometry for that section, as my blockout pieces are not so accurately sized. The lights were also a bit difficult to set up and get working correctly (and I can't tell if there's sunlight in the photo, or if there should be a directional light in my scene for it), but I'm happy overall with where the lights are at. I may need a few more in the darker areas, and the indirect lighting will need tweaking as well so that the scene is not so dark.
Overall, it looks a bit odd without the central pieces (escalator and stairs), but with some resizing and minor additions to the architecture of the room, it should start to come together and look similar to the scene in the photograph.
