Week 7 - Fish Tank

Continuing from last week, I made more progress with the lounge, as I have been working on a TV and shelving unit. Here is a screenshot in 3DS max. I want to make some ornaments to go on the shelves if I have time and maybe some DVDs.


I have spent the majority of the week working on the fish tank that is in the hallway round the back. I Have modelled some rocks and a base that will be pebbles to go it it. I've been struggling quite a bit with trying to get the water to look realistic but its definitely getting there. The main thing was, I didn't really know how I was going to approach it, but I've done it so that the water is a box that I made in 3DS max and I've made blue transparent material in UE4 to put on it.

Week 10 - TV texturing

As I mentioned last week that I had started to unwrap my TV, I finished that  on Tuesday, then I brought it into substance painter to create the textures. I reused the wood material that I have on the floor but I made it slightly darker in substance so that it doesn't look too similar. I also used it on the speakers but took the normal map off and changed the roughness to give it some variance. I wanted to add some labels on the DVD player and the PS4 but I don't know if there is any need as I need to keep it simplistic to match GTA, therefore I will leave it for now. In Substance designer I created a link so that i could collapse the different material IDs onto one texture. I had Shane help me with this as it was quite complicated but if I was to do this in the future, I think I could manage now.
