Hey guys this is a wip shot for a project I've been working on and I've reached a bit of a snag. I've been posting it over on the /wip/ thread ( >>723111 ), but all of like 3 people actually seem to frequent that thread. So I'm coming to you for help.

Basically, I've pretty much left the wall that the pipes are coming out of untouched. Because I don't know what to do with them.
I feel like a blank concrete wall would be super boring for the amount of space it takes up in the scene. I originally was going to do a sci-fi, greeble type wall, but as I went on, it didn't really seem like the best fit. Graffiti is out of the question as well (for now), as I want to focus on geometry. Graffiti could come later if I find something that works model wise.
I had also thought to hollow out that space and make it a little slum, but that would really clash with the feel/tone of the image (since the rider looks like he's there to get away from that sort of thing).

Any help? I've been asking people that I know all over.
I've been asking in /wip/ for the past few posts of this, but people don't seem to really bother answering.

Thanks guys.

Some more future stencilling too. Maybe even ditch a couple of pipes for more negative space.

[Anonymous No.723407]

Bump

[Anonymous No.723409]

>>723406
I'm gonna texture it and do all that, just not yet. More interested in the geometry first. Once I figure out what I'm doing with it, it'll get the full treatment in substance with all sorts of texture work. I'd like to keep the pipes at the number they are, as well, as I like the balance. 3 would split the comp down the middle, 2 wouldn't be as impressive and leave too much negative space in my opinion.

[Anonymous No.723415]

>>723409
>too much negative space in my opinion.
That’s how I think but I acknowledge I’ve got a weak spot when it comes to use of negative space.
I can appreciate it in other people’s shit but not in my own.

[Anonymous No.723418]

>>723415
Oh yeah, I come from a graphic design background, so I use a ton of negative space there, I just don't think it'd really fit all that well here.

I'm still wanting the area to be a source of negative space, but having a flat wall (even when it's textured), just seems a bit like a cop-out to me. It doesn't really have to be all that complicated, just something simple enough to make the wall a bit more interesting than a basic flat wall.
I've been pouring over references of like dams and river channels, even that one level in Mirrors Edge trying to find that one thing that fit there. I had tried to put in some columns quickly thinking that'd maybe work, but I wasn't too into it. Pic related, texture is literally slapped on though.

Use different water geometry for each outlet. Consider adding mist from the water, with noise so it's not uniform, and making it more noticeable under the motorcycle's light.

no clue how bad it is, but here's how far i got with my animation rig on my third character.

[Anonymous No.723544]

>>723484
>Use different water geometry for each outlet.
Not gonna happen, it's a sim that'll be part of an animation later. File size is pretty high, so I'm taking what I get with it using an array modifier. I'll do some things to break it up a bit, but that's about it. Since it has to run a bit inside the pipe and then stabilize, baking the sim takes about 500 frames before it gets to pic related. It's not really worth it to me to sim all 4 when the effect is subtle. Though it might be possible to offset the animation of them

>Consider adding mist from the water
There is mist. It's just not super visible on top of the bloom. Just gotta make it a bit more dense.

I'll turn down the bloom a bit. But I'm not touching the brightness (don't know why you all insist on telling me to do something rather than just suggesting). It's a big part of how I'm leading the eye through the scene.

You look at that first, follow it down to the darker area that's the rider, or the bike (who's light points to the rider), then they eye moves up to the city up top because of the signs.

I started about two weeks ago, sort of just teaching myself with YouTube. The tools and even just rotating the fucking camera correctly have been really intimidating but I’m building up my confidence in adjusting the size and strength of the brushes and knowing when to use what (kind of). There’s still a lot I don’t understand and am probably doing I efficiently but I’m happy just to be learning. The eyes for example look sunken-in because I haven’t found a way to make them look pronounced. I’ve tried using the inflate and blob tools and then rounding and smoothing them out but sort of just said fuck it for now until I figure something out.

The leafs could use some sub surface translucency/scatter (Also use some nodes to introduce the leave veins back in as less translucent) or whatever its called and some gloss plus more detail in the leaves might go some ways. Maybe add some thickness or something they sorta got a thin paper look. Cgbookcase has some good textures https://cgbookcase.com/textures/?category=Leaves+%26+Plants&resolution=1&page=1&color=all&search=

Maybe adding some moonlight and lowering your lights in the scene might also be something to play around with. Your scene I believe has potential your just missing some key elements.

Hey man! For what it’s worth I think it looks awesome. This is a beginner question but when it comes to building a setting/map/environment in blender, how do you know how things will scale?

[Anonymous No.725673]

>>725672
I use unreal engine 4, and it uses Meters as the scale.
So assuming i'm going to have standard humanoid characters, i put a 2 meter tall cube in the center of the scene, and use that to base the scale of the assets.

Just figure out the standard height of your models, and use that as a reference

Ayyyy, so that's what the texture is for.
I'd put an outer bevel on the logo texture too, since it's got a good bit of border on the actual cans so it stands out from the checkerboards.
Not a bevel on the model, but like the actual texture.
The top of the can looks pretty unfinished compared to the rest of it.

The water could use a little work too t b h. What you could do, is model a few water droplet shapes, then use them as a hair particle system on the can to make actual drops. Then maybe tone down the texture you've got now (right now it just looks like the can is lumpy). That way you'll have drops with actual geometry that refract, and the texture.

The windows already do have a spec map attached to them. Though It's a bit hard to see in the image. It's not much, mind you, but for something that'll be pretty far in the back, it does the job.
As far as the bump goes, it's just the image texture plugged straight into the displacement (with some levels adjustments). Though it looks really fucked on the side of that apartment building. That's just mainly since I hadn't actually done all that much with the sides. I do agree that it's turned up way too high though. So I brought it down.

You'd be amazed (not going for a 1:1 replication).
And no shit the UV's are all over the place, it's one image texture. You pretty much have to do it face by face to make sure it all looks "okay". Which means a lot of repeated areas, and some visible seams here and there.

>at that distance you don’t need all this detail.
It's better to have it and not need it than to not have it and need it. It'll add up with other buildings in the far background to add high frequency detail, and the brain will fill in the rest.

Thanks for the kind words, but nah, I disagree. The models are PS2 tier at best, and that's being generous. The shadows are doing most of the heavy lifting.
Since they're just a single texture, there's a lot of shortcuts taken and plenty of "eh, good enough" thought processes. Up close it really breaks, pic related.

That being said, I'd be lying if I didn't say I've set them up as a few blocks for fun and used the walk cam to explore around them at eye level. There's not enough buildings yet to make things look visually interesting, but it's coming together.

>These look great for BGS assets.
Thanks! I'm debating how far in I'm really gonna put them. They're starting to hold up well enough to be midground stuff to accent some hero buildings in the foreground.

>Model some stuff you can put on the roof
Yeah, that'll be the second pass once I feel I've got enough buildings.
I think 5 of each type (small, med, large) will be a good number. Then I can swap around the textures on the small/med for variations. So 10 models, but 10 variations for each of them, so that's like 100 variations maybe?
I'm planning on adding some quick table/chairs for the rooftops and terraces, some satellite dishes, antennas, maybe some potted plants and stuff, and other bits and pieces. Then add sci-fi bits and bobs depending on the scene.

I've got a project in mind for all of these, but I've also got a few other ideas that I can use them for as well. Really want to hit that Simon Stålenhag sci-fi look. Run-down and kinda futuristic, but retro (Destiny comes to mind too). I don't know what it's called. I don't really think it fits within cyberpunk.
But yeah, that's enough rambling for today!

>where do you get your textures for your models?
Textures.com

I wanted to try out a new workflow just using photo textures for everything and making them work together. Kind of like a puzzle where you "find" the building you're working on in the texture. The way I figured, was if trim-sheets were a thing, the same concept could work for just images of things too. So I just pick 1 texture, and use it for a building. Pic related is the weird one's >>726827

I'm sure it's not a new concept, and people were probably doing this since before pbr and seamless was a thing (especially looking at how many textures are like this on the website), but it's been a pretty neat experiment.
Only snags I really run in to are the download limit on textures.com, and finding similar images and textures elsewhere. I can't find texture sites with similar images, or they just don't have the right type. Image searching google is pretty much useless for this, especially since normal people don't go out of their way to take photos of facades in diffuse lighting with a focal length that flattens it out. Go figure :^)

>>727331
I genuinely don't know who that is (since I don't watch many tutorials), but since this is 4chan, you won't believe me. Since you've already arrived at a conclusion, and will reject anything contrary to that.

I've just been using trim sheets for years and the technique of building an object out of them by either using the sheet itself as a plane and extruding it, or unwrapping an object face by face till it looks right, seemed like something that could work for other things than just trim sheets.
I had seen the textures on textures.com and always thought they were pretty useless. So I figured I was doing something wrong or was thinking about them the wrong way and decided to *make* them work. Buildings seemed to make the most sense, because I could just use tileable textures for whatever else, but buildings are weird.

It's not like I'm pretending I invented something new. As I said
>I'm sure it's not a new concept, and people were probably doing this....

It's this guy I'm talking about, here's a video he just released, he's making a series in Eevee:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG31WSioSxk&t=54s

He has a couple of tutorials on texturing buildings with this method, you can check them out as well.

I'm experimenting with this as well, although I do find it hard for models to look good from anywhere but from a far away. At least with the free textures which are ony 1k or so. But stuff in his video looks pretty good even when they are pretty close to the camera. The best part about this workflow is that it feels so freeing, I don't have to worry about texturing minute details for hours for every single piece and a bunch of technicalities, and I can focus on a bigger picture, storytelling and art direction. However, there's still that voice in my head telling me "you're not a real artist if you're doing it this way, you're supposed to make your OWN textures you retard!". Which is a pure nonsense.

>At least with the free textures which are ony 1k or so. But stuff in his video looks pretty good even when they are pretty close to the camera.
Either he's got good sources that are high res; like actually being subscribed to the textures website so he can grab the source files, taking his own photos, or he's offsetting by keeping a lot of small detail close to the camera. With custom textured buildings near the front.

>you're not a real artist if you're doing it this way, you're supposed to make your OWN textures you retard!
Eh, I don't really feel this way, though I understand the sentiment. To me, being an artist is about telling a story or conveying a feeling to someone with a piece. As long as it's successful at that, it doesn't really matter all that much how you arrived to it.
Not to mention 3d is a lot of work. If you have a piece that you really want to do in a decent amount of time, you're going to have to find ways to make that happen that don't involve you dedicating huge chunks of you life to it.
It's a good way of complimenting a proper workflow for assets that will be the main subject. Plus make larger scenes for less work, and actually be able to render it since everything isn't a perfect model with 4k textures.
As long as you're not relying on it to make your entire scene, I think it's a good tool.

>I’ve seen him throw together buildings from free texture and from snapshots taken on a phone..
Fuck, I don't know then. I've had some decent results from just paying attention to how things are unwrapped. If you're smart about it, you can get some *decent* (and I use that really loosely) results with really small areas in a texture by stacking UVs in certain ways. It's gonna look patchy, but you can minimize it to a degree by only messing with the faces that don't fit within the area you're using.
Not to mention, I've had some varied results using content aware fills to extend areas of the textures as well. Some don't have many flat areas to use for large sections, so it kind of helps (pic related, but thread reached image limit, so not really). I even throw doors on there in unusable areas since a lot of the textures don't have doors.

Honestly though, I've been tempted to just go out into the wild and take photos on my own for textures. I'd probably look a bit weird taking photos of a wall, but I could live with it.

>some of the textures look too high quality in some areas to be ps2...Some of it looks low res enough to be ps2 but i think some of your textures are a higher file size
It's not the intent to make it look like a PS2 game or have it follow the same requirements or texture size. I'm just saying that they're not much better quality wise than something you'd see on a PS2. I'm saying that they're not particularly good, just "good enough" for their use.

>What software are you making this in?
Blender, though it doesn't really matter. This is one of those things that has a similar process no matter what program you do it in.

>Also what references are you using for your buildings?
I went on google streetview of a few slums and apartment blocks and stuff and used those as jumping off points. They're not 1 to 1 recreations of the buildings, just somewhere to get an idea of some shapes.

>Also I like the third building where the bicycle is part of the wall.
All part of that "good enough" mentality. No use fixing it or anything since it'll be super far away from the camera. A lot of the idea is just giving landmarks for the brain to fill in detail and stuff when you look at it.

I've been busy with some other projects, so I haven't been able to really work on these much lately. But I'm finally getting back to it soon.

Anon did you consider using architecture plans and just punch in the numbers to get a building shape?
I know this is coming from me a modeling god whose kryptonite are textures AKA good luck texturing the damn thing if you are not going for the cartoon/stylized shading look.

Seems like it'd be too involved for something like this. I'm getting the actual building shape done in minutes with some of these. The texturing is what takes the longest for these as it's basically texturing it face by face. Overall a single building really only takes like 45 mins. Which isn't too long in the grand scheme of things. Ideally I'd have more done if I was doing one every day, I've just been busy with other things that have come up.

>AKA good luck texturing the damn thing if you are not going for the cartoon/stylized shading look.
They're already textured though? That's the neat part of the process, I START with the texture and build the buildings out of it (for most of them anyway). For the ones that I don't start with the texture, it's easy to just puzzle them together with one face by face until it looks good enough.
