Wear it and tear it!

Today has mostly been about further defining the materials, adding grunge, wear and tear to the fan, as well as getting some more normal info in there. It's not quite there yet so I'll need another few days to get it finished. Toning down some of the wear and what not. Nevertheless, it's close!

Weeks have gone by without any updates, but I'm finally back up and running, and in a new city (Malmö) no less!

Unfortunately I've had to scale down the scope of the project to make it to the deadline of the art jam (which is tomorrow...yikes!). Hence the scope was scaled down to a fan. (Yes, I'm not a fan of it either, but bear with me. It's gonna come out fan-tastic.)

Puns aside, it's been a lot of fun working on the project, and I'm looking forward to finishing it! Here are the latest wips, with the fan right now being retopoed and having the base materials blocked out. Hopefully getting finished tomorrow!

  

And some highpoly renders:

I also got a basic wooden tile material started during the earlier weeks of the project. Very basic, but still something! It will be worked more on once the fan is finished :)

See you all tomorrow for (hopefully) the final renders of the fan!

Today has been all about wrapping up this project by doing final changes to textures, fixing minor issues with the level, tweaking the lighting one final time, as well as adding books and an ink pot! I'll be uploading the final result tomorrow, but here's a sneak peak ;)

Due to some things in real life I haven't been able to do as much work this weekend as I hoped to, thus I haven't been able to finish everything I planned for. Either way, the cloth is up now and has textures on it, so I'm still pretty pleased.

Today I finally managed to get the lighting just right! I'm very pleased with how it turned out in the end. I also made a door for one of the short walls of the room and everything is finally coming together. There are a few final details (including getting the fabric in engine) but I should hopefully have everything ready before next Monday :D

  

Today I've been doing some research into Marvelous Designer and trying it out for the first time (!) in an attempt to make fabric I will be hanging from the walls to break up the repetitive pattern of the bricks. I think that for a first attempt it went alright! Tomorrow will be all about retopo, UVs and texturing!

Today I've been remaking the wall module with the windows to add some variation of the walls and further interest to the scene over all. Not sure if I'm 100% pleased but it looks a lot better than before at least! I also made a separate brick and plank in an attempt to break up the pattern of the tiling textures and to add some geo other than the flat planes. All in all I think it came out pretty good! (I also worked some more on the lighting to try and create a moonlight-like effect. Alas to no success yet.) More work awaits tomorrow!

Today has been mainly about lighting, apart from some further planning including how to add more interest to the scene. Not much else to write today to be honest :D

After re-doing the texturing for the window (fortunatly without another crash and corrupted save files) I did a lot of more work on lighting today and I feel like it's all falling into place! I have a few more props to add (2-3) and then I'll most likely do the final lighting pass and get this finished! Hopefully I'll be uploading the finished images this week ^^

After spending a couple of days focusing almost entirely on school I've finally gotten to work on this project again. This time I decided to add windows to the scene and did some minor work to the lighting (damn lighting is hard!). Allthough I had a Substance Painter crash (which naturally corrupted my save file) I did manage to get the WIP texture exported before that. I still need to do the actual glass texture for it but otherwise I find the windows coming along quite nicely.
