[ENVIRONMENT] Abandoned Swamp House

oxygencube · October 5, 2015, 9:08pm

I am working on an environment for my portfolio. My main concept/reference is this concept from Andree Wallin. I’ve been working on it on and off for a few months. Here are some of my WIP images. The textures and models are all doing in Zbrush / Photoshop / NDO. I try to use as little photo-sourcing as possible.

So how’d you fix the grass shading under the porch?

Looking awesome

Looks really cool! Especially the vegetation assets

Thanks so much all!

I ended up going fully dynamic. There is a known bug with Indirect Lighting Cache and foliage so getting the foliage to match baked lighting didn’t look right. I am not getting bounced lighting but the foliage shading looks decent now.

Knocked out some hero plants this week… For the bush I ended up making a tiling strip to be able to make longer branches… Next week lilly pads and cattails.
