Metro 2033 - Fan Art
polycounter lvl 11
So I've been working on starting some fan art from the Metro series. I'm starting with a small tunnel section before expanding to anything bigger! My plan is to texture everything using Substance so I can get a good grip on how it works.
I'll be dumping progress as I go, feed me back! I've got some blockouts and substance material tests, the thread might get messy
Blockout
Quick test of my workflow by making a tiny part of the piping
For learning and versatility I've been trying to make my materials as re-usable as possible by making them procedural in Substance Designer. I have a lot of learning to go, but the results are slowly coming together. The below shots are all from the one network

Is it real-time rendered? Quixel deliver own 3d engine adn these are shots from it?
Have you made HP models of these bricks? How they are procedural?
Cheers
The bricks are 100% generated from substance designer with no sculpts or bitmap inputs. (I did swap some noise generators out for bitmap versions for speed sake, but they could be replaced again easy enough).
Hope that helps!
I randomly added in the ability to draw puddles in using the SVG after seeing it posted in the master thread. I had no idea substance had this feature until now!
Hey Shriken, awesome progress dude! How did you get the puddles to work? =]
@Whalebones: the puddles are just an SVG node used as a white mask with slope blur to mess up the edges nicely. Then I'm using the liquid noise to drive the normals and obviously a super low roughness. Super simples, nothing fancy (yet
quick example:
Next to come is brackets, lights and the track itself. Still need to do a second pass on texturing too!
I couldn't agree more, as soon as everything is created with a simple texture I hope to go over everything that needs a second pass for more detail (not to mention lighting!).
Thanks for the kind words everyone, hopefully I won't disappoint with future updates
As such I decided some Crysis fan art would be fun instead! I tried to create a battle worn nanosuit material. Seemed fairly straight forward and the results came out alright I think. Just a few hours playing about.
close up with more light
I've been away on holiday so stopped pretty much all personal work, I did however get some time in for photography, which inevitably led me to taking lots of photos of rocks. Enough in fact that I could scan one in today when I got back. So here it is, a rock all the way from Sardinia, now in my computer.
and some marmoset viewer for good measure: (if anyone knows how to embed these, please let me know how)

I'll be going back to my Metro scene now, I promise
love all the textures.
looking forward to see more
I can share some of my source photos etc if you want to see more
but my process was roughly,
1) take photos
2) process raw files to level out light information in Photoshop
3) use agisoft to construct the scan mesh
4) use zbrush to mask and clean up the geo slightly
5) use maya to set up objs
6) use substance to bake details down to a low poly version and use baked masks etc to re-work the scanned in texture and transfer it to the low poly.
Hope that explains it a bit!
