[UE4] 1960's Office

Vincent Geelen

Hi everyone,

I've always loved the look of postcards from the 50's / 60's, and the distinctive feel they have. 
Thought it would be interesting exercise to try to replicate one of them in UE4.

Reference:

Here's the reference I'm using for my scene:

It's from the Swellmap's collection: https://www.flickr.com/photos/94207108@N02/

Check out some of his albums if you're interested in this style, lots of cool stuff there.

Progress:

I mainly worked on the basic structure and trying to get the lighting right (still WIP)

Still a long way to go, but the foundation is in place now.

Let me know if you have any feedback.

Thanks!

Looks great so far dude! 

Though i cant tell if its a trick of the camera, but the ceiling seems a bit too tall?

Vincent Geelen

Yeah, you might be right. It's a bit difficult to tell because of the slightly different FOV. 
All the vertical lines in the original image are perfectly straight, but I wasn't able to replicate that in the engine. 

I'll try tweaking the dimensions a bit a see if I can get a better result.

Thanks!

How's this going man, are you going to be adding clutter to the room or keeping it clean?
I just noticed for a 1960s office there's a distinct lack of ashtrays!
