Saloon Progress!

The saloon is done, modeling wise. At this point, I'm just set dressing and texturing. Here's where I am so far:

Textures will be up later this week. Gotta focus of rendering out my other pieces!

Izmojuki Model: Beauty Shot and Map Breakdown

Without further ado, I present the first fully finished piece for my portfolio...

 

 

I think I did pretty good with this! I got it down from about 1.1 million tris to a little over 9k, so there's an accomplishment. I used diffuse, normal, specular, and emissive maps, shown below:

All the renders were done in Marmoset Toolbag and composited into Photoshop.

 

Normals and ambient occlusion were baked in xNormal.

Survey Machine: Re-Lit

Here's my new lighting for the Survey Machine. I didn't really like the first draft because it was very dark in some places.

I think this looks much better than the first time. And I think I'll start doing all my posts with an all-gray background now; I like the style!

I think this could be a potential portfolio piece!
