T2 - Texturing the environment

It's time to take the environment to the next level!

New week means new project. And this week we're going to work on our environment and make textures for it. That means a lot of work, from the UV-Unwrapping to the texturing itself. The worst part about this assignment is the UV-Unwrapping. I feel like I'm really bad at it and I have a long way left to go. But somehow I manage to make it work.

So there was a bunch of stuff to do this week. Last time we were doing something like this it took me a week only to make a jewelry box. And now I had a whole room!? I did not understand how I would find the time. But as it turned out, It was not as hard as I thought!

As always, Time table

I figured I needed the Monday to re-watch some videos, get more familiar with the procedure before I started to make anything. So that is what I did on Monday. Rest of the week is basically as you see it. 

My procedural texture.

I made a procedural texture very easy. I did not know on what I was going to use it, but I figured I would start out with the couch. 

So I figured it would be nice to make a procedural texture with my couch because that would let me to get the couch nice, without any texturing artifacts or anything.

This is my couch and as you can see there is some noise (lower pictures) to make it feel more lifelike. And not so C.G. 

So all I did was to tweak the settings so that it would be the way i wanted it to be. 

How I worked.

Well, usually I am the kind of guy who starts of with the easiest bit and then tackle the harder tasks in the end. But this week I figured that I would do my utmost best to fulfill my assignment, because this did not seem like an easy task. 

 I got myself a notebook. I wrote down everything I did, with details on every UV-Map so that I could with ease make it work in PS and Mudbox. For everything I did wrong, i got a note in my book, telling myself how to fix it, and maybe not ever doing that thing again. I have learned that this is a very smart way to work.

Products:

Don't want to make this report very long, so in the end, here is my results.

And the Uv-Snapshots we needed to deliver.

Might be hard to see, but we had to deliver this aswell so.
