Week 10

As usual, I end up getting loads of good ideas for a project when the deadline is looming. Normally I would allow myself to add more assets but seeing as the scene is pretty empty, I let this be an exception.

So I made a cool little book sign to go upstairs and help break up the columns a bit. Each one has a different word so it looks like different book sections.














Next I made some rugs (ref below) I added Ao bakes and normals to make them look less flat and added them around the level.

I think it helps to break up the boring wooden floor.

Next on my to do list was to create a counter to go at the back of the shop where the cauldrons are.

Whilst I was doing this I thought I should make another book pile to go on top.

I ended up using ncloth to create some pages to drape over a few books and the side of the desk. I really enjoy doing cloth simulations so I thought I'd do another for the stairs to add a bit more to it. I then had to get some images to put on the pages (ref below). Then came more book placing, everywhere.

AO shots are so nice

I also made a half side table from the larger ones downstairs as you can see from above and a candle with a new flame particle (that doesn't have lens flare!)

I re-visited the book textures so it didn't look at childish

I still have the different colours and the version without the metal binding on the spine.

Some little plant alphas to break up the bookcases. The middle one is inside a shrunk cauldron and the others are in a plant pot I made weeks ago but forgot to mention. Ref below.
