Wooden Desk Chair

brandv3d

Working on finishing some more props from my class at CGMA. Here is a desk chair I made in Substance Painter and rendered in Marmoset.

Looking for comments and critiques. 



These are the most updated renders. (And I say renders but they are realtime in Marmoset, not like renders in 3ds Max that would take hours to render out like in the good old days.

I think the one chair is like 930 polys if you were wondering, I guess I could have put that in the image and maybe show the 2k maps.
If you have any questions or comment s, don't be shy.

I'm also working on making a Patreon support page for my "Props of the Month Club" where you can vote on which movie props I will create 1 to 2 props per week and share the 3D files as well. Here is the link for that:

Thanks

looking pretty good but the specular feels too consistent to me... the wood feels too shiny like cheap veneer wood usually looks. nice work otherwise.

Thanks Wormo, it does feel a bit like veneer. I made it in Substance Painter and mixed the wood texture with metal and the result was a cheap veneer look to the wood and the other maps for the seat, although I did change it a bit, look too much alike. I'm going to try going back to my old software Quixel... because of all the default materials that ship with it. Maybe a bit better for props with wood in them.

Sorry I didn't explain that last post. The chair is in Modo for UV mapping. I created a jpg image of noise and then did a motion blur because  I found that some of my UV's were horizontal on the back part where it should have been verticle. This is just a trick I came up with to make sure the direction of the wood is correct to the way it would really be built.

Just going to throw this render out there, the materials are not tweaked.

More of an updated version. My wood grain is going in the right direction now, but I do see a problem with the armrest.  It's not smoothed high poly enough because I'm experimenting with different high poly versions, but I should fix this issue.  Please let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

This looks fantastic!

My only criticism is that it looks to 'new' unless that was the look you were going for.

If you were going for a more old, weathered look (Similar to your wooden desk that you have on your Artstation) It could do with some wear-and-tear on the wood and more importantly the brass/gold material.

Lovely piece though Looking forward to seeing more progression!

That's a great idea, I actually never even thought of that, was just going for a new good looking chair look. I will try that for sure and damage it up for a prop to go with it. smile:

Also, I might put this high res shot on my Patreon fan page. If you want to see some other props, It's to raise money so that I can pay for Modo, all the props will be available to download the files and you can vote on which props I will create next. Here's a spoiler, I'm working on the 5th Element Zorg gun right now, so I hope people vote for that one but check it out here,

Thanks everybody for looking and I can't wait to make more of these weekly prop projects for you guys.
