Creepy Hallway - First Indoor Environment

allengingrich

Working on a very inspired Silent Hills PT style hallway rendered in UE4. I've only done outdoor environments prior to this, so lots of new things to learn. I'm about 5 hours in as it stands, mainly trying to get my light to propagate off the modular wall pieces correctly. Going to start adding props as soon as I figure out what the eff is wrong with the floor baked lighting.

Good start. I think the crown moldling seems too big or comes in to the ceiling too far. I think its working for PT cause it has upward steps

Good work bro but P.T. House's ground is different. I worked this 1 year ago. This link: http://polycount.com/discussion/139329/silent-hills-p-t-on-unreal-engine-4-wip/p1

I totally agree. I honestly just used a nice looking molding profile instead of the one used in PT -- I agree, it does extend out into the ceiling a bit too much. Will adjust.

Wow, that's a nice project to keep for reference while I'm working on this one. I see someone gave you the same advice about the floor. How did you make your herringbone -- substance?

Thanks both of you!

Went into Substance Designer and made myself a herringbone wood floor like PT. The old floor was BSP, so exported that to Maya and cleaned it up, then remade the UVs so it would tile better. Going onto lighting props (sconces for the wall) in a moment -- will circle back and adjust molding size soon. Also setup highly customizeable master materials for every material to instance for quick iteration.

Rebuilt the whole thing from scratch in Maya. Added a wall sconce, too. Seriously have spent so much time on the lighting.


I'm using a very low intensity directional light to light dark shadows -- is that okay, or is there another way?

Venturing into the second hallway, window almost done.

Very good bro P.T. lighting is very hard and I think ground material is dry . I follow this post.
Sorry for my bad English.

Thank you! Yes, I'm redoing the floor now for a third time. I'll post soon.

For your PT scene, did you model the whole thing (walls, floor, ceiling) as one big piece. Or did you modularize it?

I modeled full map. It is not modularize
