Kim's Dinner

Feb. 2016

Realistic environnement built in Unreal for a school assignment. The rule was to make 5 assets (at least 2 modular assets) and make a room out of this. Dimensions of the room where also given.

So welcome to my beautiful dinner, where everything is pastel and nostalgic! I managed to cram a lot in each asset. Ex: the benches, table and everything on it is one asset.

Also reused a lot. The frame asset is also the window and also my menu.

Then 3 days before the due date I learn that we could go over 5 assets, the limit was to rein in ideas that would be too ambitious. So I added a last minute 6th item, the coffee cup, for environmental storytelling bonus.

Approx. 3 weeks of work

Tables and benches: It's all one asset. Benches, table, napkin dispenser, menu, mustard and ketchup. So that it would count as only one asset in my maximum of 5. I made two color variations to break the repetition.

Counter. This is only one asset. The counter, seats, lights, mirror, plates, glasses. It uses multiple id materials.

Wall of Nostalgia: aka, how to dress a wall economically. Because they are black and white, it comes to a very low cost in terms of textures.

Windows and frames: same asset. Only, one is transparent with fresnels while the other is just very glossy with pictures.

Bonus points were given if the room told a story. So I used one asset to tell a very simple story.

There was a weight limit to the file we had to hand in. i was well within it, with low-poly assets and not many textures.

I had diffuse, spec, normals and roughness for the assets that needed them. I saved a lot of space with a neat little trick. Since all the pictures in frames were b&w, I saved them in the RGB channel of one texture and got 3 pictures per map.
