Okay admittedly, there has not been a lot of UV work done yet, just on a few assets. But, there is progress on the actual interior models.
I was supposed to change the walls of the school but unfortuantley Bianca was unable to give me those files so they're going to stay the same for now. We mentioned merging our school builds, however I want to still steer clear of making a building look pretty just to look pretty. For example, we mentioned wanting to out a dome on top of the school, however with little research, it's easy to learn that that is not at all apropriate for a school when those are reserved for holy temples. So we are working on making my exterior less plain, without taking it to the extreme and doing something that is cultural appropriation.
With that being said, here are the latest updates to the interior assets:
As you can see, some assets here are from other parts fo the set. Since our story has changed a bit and the marketplace area is going to be less utilized, I used assets premade from those sets and the home set to dress. Also everything but the walls and the main character are referenced in:
There still needs to be some cleaning up to do with the references, such as naming conventions, but for the most part, everything is getting ready.
This upcoming week is basically getting UVS done for the school. We are going to be speed-running one look dev for this pass and wanting just one scene and shot done. We have decided on picking the scene in the beginning sequence, after Ahki, our main character leaves the school and is in the feild. It is a short clip that we are hoping contains enough information on how the final visual will look. This means we are doing everything, from lighting and texturing, to post comp edits.Now, will it look amazing? Hopefully, but most likely not. We just really want something out now, especially for December for our preview screening.
That's all!
