[UE4] Public Restroom Environment
polycounter lvl 8
Just started an Unreal scene to study dirt and grunge, its an abandoned public restroom scene. These are the first two meshes I finished, I have also done some materials and blocked out the structure.

Started on the structure. I might change the brick texture with a photoscanned one later.
I will follow your thread
Keep up!
PS: don't forget the Cockroachs and flies
Mirrors and stuff. Also have a proper ceiling now.
Thanks.

He explains it somewhere there, you have to modify the normals of the top vertices where it touches the actual ceiling and have them look downward, then just apply a planar uv to both ceiling plane and the peeled geometry.

I'd love to try this out.
Anyway, as for a comment that is valid to your progress, I feel the tiles on the wall are too linearly placed, even if some are missing from the wall, there is a linear line running through the top edge, some imperfection/variety would help sell it better. Minor detail though, shouldn't matter, you're already going well.
@cmc444 Thank you, I should redo most of the textures before the end, and add details to others.
Thanks, I created a world space uv for the water, basically I projected different textures from the top and the sides, then used a linear interpolate node combine the falling water at the sides and the stationary one at the top, then you can have any mesh to have water falling down regardless of their uv's. There is a example of the material in the subway station scene which you can download from the unreal marketplace.
Added two physical ceiling lamps. One of them sways a bit from the wind, the other is dislodged from its place and swings. I always loved dynamic lights since I played the second silent hill game.
The green grass is too tall imo even if the place is desolated...or perhaps this is the kind of grass which doesn't match the envi...so perhaps more thight and tall, not sure...
The exterior mood is really great man, keep up the nice work gg
Just did a parallax test for the floor drain. Maybe I could've used a decal too, will test the decal version soon.
Update:
Redone some of the vegetation, added edge wear to the structure, also animated cobwebs! They turned out much better than I expected. Latest Batman game gave me the idea.
It's also a scene that would really benefit from a 360 render of the interior as well, I'm not sure how you'd do it and keep the quality high, but I'd love to look around it myself. There's lots of dynamic elements like the light and the tap that really give life to the scene.
The only crit I have on the actual art is turn down the bloom. Everything is so washed out and distracts from the environment. Add some subtle colour grading that achieves a similar dry/abandoned mood to your current setup, but with less bloom.
This is a seriously great project though, love the outcome.
Thanks, just added a few more longer cuts. Working on the sound right now.
Also, thanks everyone, I just submitted it to the marketplace.
Here's the final shots:
My only critique (a nit-picky one) would be the WPO intensity on the Drain decal should be 50% of what it is now.
Really digging the exterior composition and colors!
Like the others have said, really love the progression which happened with this scene. The final results are really nice especially now I can admire it all with less bloom.
Can't wait to see what you produce next.
