Quidditch Shop (First environment)

Lianne · Aug 2016

Hi, I have started an environment piece based on the quidditch supply shop from Harry Potter. I'm pretty new to this and I have a long way to go but thought I would make a post so hopefully I can improve as I go.
Here is what I have so far:

My main ref is from the Warner Bros. studio tour (but i am not looking to make an exact copy):

My to do list at the moment:
-Make a brick texture for the wall
-Make a street lamp
-Make a hanging sign for beside the door
-Make some props for the shop window, particularly a broom stick.
-Improve the floor/kurb

Thanks

Hi there, Nice work so far, I think making the door and windows a bit taller might look better! And for me the floor looks fine as it is. Keep up the good work.

Looking good so far! (I love anything Harry Potter, so +5 points for you!)

I recommend getting some wear on the wood texture you are using. The shop text looks very temp at the moment, you'll want to also make it look painted on.

Looking forward to seeing this progress!

Thanks

Don't cover up the windows. I want to see what you're selling inside.

Hi Brian, Hopefully i'll get round to doing an interior eventually

One thing i'm not sure about is how to go about modelling the tail end of a broom (to put in the shop window)

Several tapered/deformed cylinders with an alpha of the broom bristles should do the trick.

Here's a shot with some basic block outs to show where i'm heading.

Looking good so far I'd brighten up the red wood texture and brighten your scene in general the quidditch store is supposed to be a happy place so brightening it up will help with that. I'd also add in another door for another shop to the left or right doesn't have to be much detail it will just stop it from having a big plain wall beside it.
I love Harry Potter I did a recreation of the gryffindor common room you should check it out for some inspiration
