Baby, you're a star- A WILDSTAR!

I've been working on this thing on and off for the last year and a half. It started with me making the cat clock because I wanted to get better at the highpoly > lowpoly workflow and needed to test how adaptable PBR (which was pretty mysterious at the time) is to stylized textures.

I love the art of Wildstar, housing especially, so I started modeling stuff off concept sheets and just...never stopped. Now I'm looking for ways can to improve what I have now. I'd like to polish this thing up as good as I can for GDC, so I'm grateful for suggestions of relatively easy things to change.

I'm looking at the composition of the scene right now. There are some floating bits to fix and I think the objects could be grouped together better. The floor also never did get proper roughness or AO maps so I'd like to address that.

There's a sketchfab folder with the rest of the props here.

I also did a bunch of wall textures, because Cory Loftis =

Excellent work! I absolutely adore the floor texture on the diorama.
All the small touches really make the piece stand out.
The tillable wall textures are really cool too, something I think I need to explore too.

Man... that's osom... I really dig the style you put here. The textures are fantastic!!

Sooooo good =D.
Your brush stroke efficiency never stops to amaze me, happy you added the walls  i love them =D
Tried so many times to use flow insted of opacity but it hurds my head XD

Still touching this up. Based on some feedback from other artists, I added cobwebs and ao cards to the corners. I tried to push the lighting to be moodier and bring out the saturation of the textures.

I also wrote a feature for Sketchfab on how I modeled the props: https://blog.sketchfab.com/art-spotlight-granok-den/

I can't find a place in the scene for it, but I also made another lamp. Now the concept sheet is almost finished.
