Abandoned Suitcase - FINISHED!

JKNori

Hi there!

I'm currently working on a small prop which will be part of a full environment. It is an old suitcase of which is found within a abandoned train. Currently, I'm working on the suitcase's shape.

Constructive criticism and feedback is welcome!

Hello again!

I've finished the suitcase's model and textured it.










C&Cs are appreciated!

Cheers,

Something doesn't feel right.
The suitcase is way too matte. I imagine a suitcase would have more reflections because they're typically made of leather, cloth or plastic. Same goes for those stickers. They usually have a plastic coating on top. Only beat up detail like grime, dirt & dust should look rough, and thus give a better contrasting image.

In the current lighting setup you have right now, I can hardly see any of the bump mapping either even though your texture map has a lot of noise. I recommend using 3 point lighting or a high resolution IBL.

Also might want to check your albedo values. The only materials that should be really dark/close to black is stuff like coal or rubber.

Thanks for the criticism. I've had a look into it and I've changed it for the better.

I've updated the suitcase (modelling and texture wise) and I really hope you like my updated version:
