[WIP][Unity][UE4] Modular Sci Fi Corridors

Final result:


Hey everyone! 

I recently started working on another environment.

Current progress:

A small test in Unity.

Working on the design of the dogs. more screenshots on Artstation.

A small test of basic elements. More screenshots on Artstation.

Decided to switch to High-Definition RP, which will have to stop using mesh decals. Now there will be only classical baked textures. Here is a small comparison of the new and old approach:


The first thing I’m going to do is remake the Sci Fi Corridor 1. Now it looks like this:

Forest_Cat

A small test of materials. On four sections of a wall one material with textures 2048x2048.

Forest_Cat

Finished texturing. It remains to collect everything in a new scene and bake the light. Additionally I am going to make a dozen of decals.

The material created by me allows to control color and smoothness of the masked areas of the meshes. To make copies of meshes more unique I have added to the material the dirt projected in the world space.

Working on lighting.

Finished working with the Lighting. Used only baked light with quite low settings lightmaps.
Recorded a small demonstration of material customization.

The final version for Unity. More screenshots on Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/9ewzdL

The version for UE4 will be slightly different. Primarily due to the presence of Decals. Started working on the Light.

Ashervisalis

Looks really cool! The lighting reminds me of Star Trek TNG.

Forest_Cat

@Ashervisalis Thank you! I've been looking for inspiration wherever you can, but mostly it was games, not movies or TV Series. However personally to me such illumination reminds some moments from Star Wars: Battlefront.

Looks good! Personally I think that some modular model could be made more interesting and adding detail. Example this guy he makes these awesome  corridors https://www.artstation.com/artwork/90gEy

@siverThanks! I am still learning to do a good environment, so I try to go from simple to Complex. Already in Sci Fi Corridor 2 will be more large and medium forms. With each new project the quantity and quality of parts will only Increase.

Ged

the ue4 version looks nice a vibrant, for some reason the unity version looks a bit gray and washed out, theres like a smoky haze around floor level

Forest_Cat

@GedIt's probably a color gradient thing. I have not yet learned how to configure it, so I use one of the standard profiles which is called "neutral". As it seemed to me in UE4 easier to get a juicy picture indoors.

Forest_Cat

Almost finished with the Lighting. It remains only to understand how to bake a AO for the props.

A small Breakdown.

The first corridor is over. Now I come back to where I started. More screenshots and 360 panorama on Artstation.

A small test of modularity.

Forest_Cat

Began texturing. The first thing made the console.

Forest_Cat

Finished with the walls.

Forest_Cat

All textures are ready. Now I am assembling the final meshes and gradually exporting them to UE4. That’s what the modular floor looks like.

Forest_Cat

I tried to make the doors in the style of Deus Ex.

Forest_Cat

Quick lighting test.

AutoExit

Looks really good. Maybe you can experiment with making light warmer or colder. 

Forest_Cat

@AutoExit Thank you! I'm only learning to do good lighting so the result is far from ideal. But I hope that after all, something decent. 

Forest_Cat

Finally finished with corrections and rework. All in all it turned out 45 meshes and 27 decals. A little bit of the master material, now you can more accurately adjust the roughness.

Forest_Cat

To make automatic sliding doors with sound turned out to be rather difficult for the person practically not familiar with Blueprint. But I finally coped with this task. The main problem was that if you quickly go in and out of the trigger, the animation of the closure was triggered before the animation of the opening. After adding a small check on whether the door is open at the moment I am facing another problem. Now, if you leave the trigger before the open animation is finished, the doors just won’t close. At this point I was specifically stuck, but eventually I was able to figure out how to solve this problem. And now everything works perfectly. Each of the animations is played from the beginning to the end together with the sound. And the doors do not get stuck in one of the positions even if it is very quick to enter and exit the trigger. Here’s how it all looks:

Today he gathered a scene and made a test span with a camera. The doors were opened with the help of FirstPersonCharacter which moved simultaneously with the camera. This is a fairly crude option, but the highlights are already visible.

You've done a great deal of work, and I enjoy sci-fi stuff a lot.  Glad to see this on the asset stores.

Forest_Cat

@PeterKThank you! This asset will be ready in the coming days.

Forest_Cat

That’s all. It took a lot more time than I expected, but the result was worth it.
