Honey Lemon's Room

I fixed the lighting by adding a few more light sources in the ceiling lamps and toning down the volumetric fog. I also added a few more assets including some wall decor and plants.

Today I worked on the scene's lighting. It was definitely a challenge since I've never done lighting in Unreal before, but was super rewarding! I still think it's a bit too bright, but it's a start.

Added a few more props including plants, beakers, clothing, and books. Since there are a lot of books in the scene, I wanted to make them efficiently and as low poly as possible. I did that by creating 4 different book models, and then various textures that could be projected on to all of them. In the Unreal scene, I can make different iterations of the same 4 models and use different textures to make them appear more varied. 

Today I worked on creating various props using Maya, Substance Painter, and Marvelous Designer. For a few items like the bed cover and pillows, I baked the high poly meshes into low poly meshes in order to decrease the overall poly count. The cork board isn't in the initial concept art drawing, but I figured I'd add it in to fill up wall space.

I started with the basic blocking out of the room and added in the wallpaper and ceiling materials to get a feel for the colors. My pipeline consists of Maya, Substance Painter, and Marvelous Designer for the cloth materials.
