UE4 Scene - An Old Friend

SaferDan

Hey guys,

So I wanted to use UE4 and I love Doctor Who so I thought I would do a Doctor Who inspired scene.

So the plan is that this study belongs to an old companion of the Doctor who has passed away and the Doctor is here for one last visit. And I plan to tell the stories of the adventures they had through the environment. So random alien souvenirs and photos etc

Everything is super WIP atm just trying to get the lighting looking nice with basic colours. The desk is baked though!

So I started this scene fresh after not touching it for a while. I dropped the Dr Who thing and am now going for A Last of Us feel. I need to start dirtying up the scene.

and I need to change the colour of that awful carpet!

Looking good so far. You gonna put in some interior lighting?

SaferDan

Thanks Poinball!

Danpaz3d, I dont know probably not? I am pretty happy with the lighting? What did you have in mind?

danpaz3d

It's a bit early to tell how the lighting will look finalised. I was thinking maybe a wall light in the corridor (just outside the study door).

SaferDan

danpaz3d - Yeah I can try that for sure!

I have been texturing some assets





I have also started with substance designer, needs more work but its a start!

SaferDan

Thanks GrungyStudios!

I got a wallpaper material going, uses two tilable texture a set of 4 decals.



and also a fireplace baked down ready to be textured

SaferDan

Still plugging away at this when I can!

Messed with lighting some more, what do you guys think? I liked it but a friend said its too dark? I think he could be right?

Looking good Dan, I agree with the too dark comments. For me the ambient light intensity in general needs raising and the light coming in the window needs to be "softer". It's down to the time of day and mood you're going for though.

The wooden floors normal map does not line up with the albedo btw. 

SaferDan

Hey man! Thanks for the comments! 
I have raised the light intensity and made the shadows softer. I need to get some dust particles going too I think.
Thanks for the floor catch!




Think I have a finished wood floor now, Substance designer is amazing.

Looking pretty good.

It looks like your roughness values on your wooden floor are being masked per plank. Normally the roughness mask wouldn't be isolated for each individual plank but would extend across the entire floor itself. I say this because it looks like you have different roughness masks being applied to planks right beside each other.
