Procedural materials created with Substance Designer for this project
Clay renders
The whole table was made with these parts, duplicated and mirrored accordingly
Lots more room to add new assets to combination UVs
The bottle and glass jars had their separate parts in different map, so you could use label/cork/lid if you wanted to.
Main chunk of references, although a lot more googling was done while working
I need to learn to take more progress shots as I work ffs
Whew. time to kiss this project goodbye! Been a long while since I've modeles anything beyond some quick temporary models, so I wanted to stretch a bit with some realistic props. Inspiration for this diorama was a warmly lit south-French coutryside kitchen, here you can see the makings of lemon jam (actual recipe in the open book ;))! One lemon, wall damage decals and all herbs are from Quixel bridge though!
- Goal was to make something that was optimized for 3rd person exploration game, and texel density target was 10.24, hence a lot of the UVs have space for additional props for the kitchen set should those be needed.
- Lemons and their slices were photoscanned here in my kitchen using RealityScan, and then cleaned up (a lot, lighting conditions were far from ideal).
- Glass jars and wine bottle have been built modularily so, that they have their parts separated, and you can use different combination of parts (lid/no lid, label/no label etc). I was supposed to make a blueprint for it but I want to move on to the next project already :P
- Closed books all have the same UV-mapping, so you can use same textures with different book models for thickness variation. Open one can also use the same book textures, but open pages need a separate one
- Steam is a quick Niagara VFX
I learned a whole lot from this, and can already spot a lot of things that I could now do better and more optimally, but you have to let go at some point!
