Creating a Wooden Wall - NEED HELP!

JordonTurberfield

Hi guys,

Just in need of a bit of advice really. I'm quite new to modelling, and texturing, I was wondering how you guys would approach creating a wall like the one's in this photo...


I've already made up various base modular pieces to begin with...




But I was unsure if I should go straight into substance painter and texture the walls using a plank texture, or if I should model individual modular planks, add details in Zbrush, bake, and place the planks individually. I couldn't really find any tutorials online for wooden walls, only wooden flooring. 

Also to give a bit more information, these assets will be put into UE4, and I'm going for a realistic look, not a stylised.

Really hope someone can help me out.

Thanks

Jordon

For this type of thing normally we would do a tiling texture, so you sculpt a few wooden planks that tile on both direction and map it to your mesh. Take a look at this if you haven't already http://www.philipk.net/tutorials/materials/woodrough/woodrough.html
