Retro Assets (on-going)

WillPowell

Expanding my Portfolio by creating some realistic looking assets. I'm really loving some of the old 1950's house hold appliances at the moment, so thought I'd create a handful, possibly incorporating more modern materials to them to to stray away from the old plastic look that a lot of stuff had back then.

Starting off by modelling an old Panasonic TV!



Feedback is always appreciated.

I think you could do with a bit more geo in a couple areas of the model. Most notably around the vents and where the antennae intersect with the main body. Right now these areas really show the low-poly nature of the model.

Awesome, yeah it's something I've been noticing when texturing it so I will be addressing it as it does look off

Made a start on texturing up the TV, thinking of adding in some logo's and labels for some extra detail.





Also tried out an orange variation, but I think I'm sold on the blue.



Also made a small adjustment to the vents, straightening them up

Working on some assets to fill out the scene, as well as blocking it out in unreal!





Pretty happy with the chair and table so far, nothing too complicated at the moment.

Making some progress with the overall scene, working on filling out the space and what materials should go on the wall!

A lot of your round shapes are quite lowpoly and I think you should make the silhouette more round in my opinion. Adding 100 to 300 more triangles for the round shapes of your props is not wasted if it removes the blocky feeling some of your props have right now.

Been playing around with lighting and materials for the scene, starting by switching to baked lighting, which made a big difference to the way I approached the scene.



Adding in a wall and floor material, as well as lighting, I created a quite sterile looking scene which wasn't the overall aim I was going for as I wanted a more homely vibe.



To change this I went ahead and added in some warmer colours, changing the floor material to wooden planks and added in some warmth to the lights.
I do want to address how clean the scene looks by adding some grime to the assets, as it is very clean at the moment.

Still got a lot of assets to make to fill out the scene, so that's the next thing on my to do list!

Playing with some colours!

Found some more time to work on this, started modelling and baking some maps onto a stove.

WillPowell

Working some more on the scene, reverted back to the checker board floor as it fits the theme better, also added in the cooker and some ventilation for it!

Also added some grime onto the assets

really digging this!

This is really dope. When creating the appliances, maybe check out the brand SMEG. They're in this exact style. I'd kill for a fridge that looks like the one you made here.

Thanks man, yeah I've seen that brand popping up a lot when I've been doing research so will definitely be using them as inspiration!
