Old Tailor Shop Environment
polycounter lvl 6
Latest image:
Recently I decided to start working on a new environment. I have an old tailor shop in mind. I'm aiming for an abandoned, but not destroyed look. A place that's still intact, but empty for the last couple of years. Also, I want to have this classy/victorian style. Gathering reference images has been pretty annoying, it was hard finding images that resemble what I had in mind.
I'll show you some models I've made so far.
I started by making the modular pieces.
Here's a simple test of a corridor with a single point light, made just so I see how those pieces work together.
And a couple of props I've made:
I'm thinking about changing the floor with a darker and shinier wood texture. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Are the raised areas of the wallpaper a decal ? if not could you explain how did you make them ?
keep up the good work ^_^
Some other angles:
Ignore those edges that don't match, It has been solved.
Can't wait to see more
You have a weird triangle artifact in the top of your door frame. Also I think the height map might be a bit too extreme in sections.
Lookin awesome though so far. Keen to see the end.
I've been playing with the UVs until I've got the tiling right
- The paintings are too perfectly aligned. You could sort them in a way that some of them are higher than the other/falling to one side etc.;
- Those central tables could use some more disorganization as well, since you want the abandoned feel;
- Personal opinion: i would tone down just a little the chromatic aberration (but if you are going for a filmic/Resident Evil 7 feel, it's good);
- This whole area highligted next -- at least from this specific angle -- is too dark, to a point where all these elements merge togheter (i couldn't tell what they are until i saw those close up shots). Maybe if you add a small spotlight there it could help with readability;
- In my opinion, the chandelier could really use some more lights... It is as easy as just cloning/rotating four more of them
- Cobwebs are a nice touch.
- Some rubble on the floor/crumpled papers etc. could really help to sell the abandoned feel.
Overall, very good job. Good luck on completing it!
Some of those areas look too dark because of the Eye adaptation. In that last image I was sitting in the brightest part of the room, so everything was being darkened. Perhaps turn up the minimum value the exposure can get?
I'm working in Unity 5, actually
So nice to see great visuals in Unity! Well, the only person that i saw mentioning that he was working with Unity was @Eric Chadwick. But of course he is not the only one. Maybe by bumping this thread somebody else can see it and try to help.
In my opinion eye adaptation is great in a gameplay scenario, or if you make a video of a camera flying around your environment. For static screenshots it's detrimental and raises some issues, like those dark spots.
