Project Title: New York city rooftop

Overview: This is a low poly chest (1448 tris) modelled and unwrapped by Stas using 3DSMax and then hand-painted in Photoshop. It utilises 1x 512x512 diffuse texture with implied lighting painted into the texture.

This is a 3 week environment project (50,000 tris) created by myself using 3DSMax, Unreal Engine 4, photoshop and bitmap2material 3. It utilises 16 X 1024 set of tiling textures.

Research/Design: I worked closesly with another student, Momotarō Ushidō and his concepts as a basis of design to help create my level.

Unwraps:

Its a bit difficult to showcase my unwraps as they have mostly been created with efficiency and re-usability in mind, an example of this would be in my tilling wood plank texture that is used multiple times throughout the level. In one instance, my wooden pallets the UV's are scaled to utilise only a few of the wooden planks.

Textures: Almost all of my textures were tilable which makes showcasing them a little difficult, alot of them were designed with being tilable in mind so they are quite simplistic in there appearence so to not look obvious when being tiled. In the gallery below I also included one of my many graffiti textures that i used as decales in engine to break up the repetetivness of the tiling textures.

Conclusion.

Overall I learnt a lot from the project and was pleasently surprised with how much i could acomplish in the three weeks, i was slightly dissapointed with the results of my last project which was styalised as realism tends to be more in my comfort zone. Now having finished the project I can say that this is definitley still the case. Heading into my final major project i feel confident in not only working in a realistic style but how much i would be able to produce potentially on my own. My feelings around the project were boosted by the good reception it got on social media. I was one of the top trending enviroments on artstation and one of the top trending across all medias.
