CE3 Little Apartment

Holland

Hello! I've been working on this for the past few weekends. There's still a lot to do, it all still feels very empty. I'm planning on making more little props to make it more lived in. The lighting needs a lot of work too but I don't know much about CE lighting so that will probably wait till the end.

There's probably some terrible Japanese translations on the posters too

Any feedback or criticism is more than welcome.

Brygelsmack

Nice. How are you lighting the interior?

danscott

This looks really nice. I think it already looks very lived in.
If this is a kid's room you could maybe put some toys or the like on the empty floor space.
My only crit is that the books on the floor look quite blocky, you should add some more polys to them to round the spines or make the covers stick out from the pages. The rest of the scene is really detailed so the books stood out to me.

Holland

Brygelsmack: Thanks dude. At the moment it's very simple, just a visarea, portal and local cubemap with a couple of ambient lights. You also need a giant global cubemap as well to light the rest of the map.

Like this.


danscott: Thank you. Yes you're completely right about the books, they are literally 6 sides at the moment. I'll fix that right now.

I love this! Through the carpet kinda seems not fitting. Everything else feels so typical japanese, haha.

Holland

Hello! I haven't had much chance this week to work on the scene but I started creating a few small props and worked on the lighting a little. I have plans to create a tiny bathroom off to the side and I would like to maybe create a corridor outside the door. The base textures need a little gloss work, little too reflective for my liking. Starting to gel a little better now though.

Any feedback it much appreciated.

ClusterOne

Looks really solid. Did you do the fabric in MD or by hand?

Holland

Hi ClusterOne, I used Marvellous Designer for the cloth. It's pretty great

Holland

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

Here's a few updates. I remade the cloth on the bed, I wasn't happy with the low poly. Worked on a lighting a little more and started work on the bathroom area.

sushi

great detail

GrungyStudios

Cloth actually looks much better now

Meloncov

I think it'd help to throw a bit more geometry at the circular window; since it's the focal point of the room, the faceting is really noticeable.

Fenyce

I really love this! Will put that into my inspirationsfolder once you call it done!

Holland

So i'm actually going to call this done for now. I think it turned out ok but it's time to work on a new environment.

Pedro Amorim

Good job dude!
Looks cool!

ErichWK

This is pretty cool! Everything is so clean and smooth.

JohnnyRaptor

Holland

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone

Some really solid work Dave That bathroom is very well finished. Aside from some of the black shadowing on some of the surfaces, it's really solid. Can't wait to see what you produce next.

Snight

Very cool! You might want to revisit some of the bathroom materials, some of them are looking a bit too much like plastic. Other than that, great work!

tristamus

Hey there David,

I know you said you made the original bed cloth in marvelous designer...

Did you re-do it in marvelous designer as well? Did you just increase the subdivisions on the cloth?

Holland

Hi tristamus. So the high poly was roughly the same as before, I made it in marvellous and did a little clean up work in Zbrush. For the low poly I used Zremesher, taking the highpoly and decimating down then using zremesher to clean up the topology. I actually ended up doubling the poly count. The original was around 700 I believe and the new one was about 1500. Hope that helps

tristamus

Thanks David! Yes, that definitely helps. Was very interested to know your process.

natetheartist

This looks great - especially the bed.
My favorite part is the little figurines all over the place.

The one thing I'd say is that I agree with some of the other comments: Spend the polys to make this look really smooth, especially in the window and even the bed.
Your work shows that you know how to be efficient as is, and we're finally at the point that vert processing is on the least expensive end of the spectrum. Might as well go bonkers - but that's just my opinion.

Holland

Hey Nate, thanks for the comment dude. I do want to revisit this scene at some point so I will defiantly take your suggestions on board. It's still really difficult not to optimize the hell out of everything
