Abandoned House of Horror

I am experimenting with wooden textures, this is a very rough draft but I want this book case to look very worn out and old I have already experiment with putting dust on the ornament which I also haven't finalised but I love how dark and old it is looking already. 

As you can see in both pictures there is a deference  in light and tone. 

Next I will try to add some cuts and more visible dents in and add more lighting to emphasise the dark and worn out feel to the object. 

Late update: But here is update 3.0 on Demonic ring asset.

This result was fun and frustrating  to get as I had to learn about lighting and how to make use of HDRI images to make the light reflect on my object the way I saw in my head.  And in the viewport. But going through this process has made me learn more about setting up a scene and that there is more to setting up a scene than just putting up light to get the result I wanted I had to go into enviroment nodes. Which I will research more into. As well as playing with the lighting in the scene.

Since I  do not have substance painter or any texturing software. I had to use procedural modelling on blender, to get the desired texture I wanted. It is still at a early stage but I hope to learn from this.  

Update 1.0: Demonic ring ( on going first item ) Will update post soon!

For this I tried to play around with the shade editor nodes on blender I to get a somewhat old rusty metallic ring texture. I think I did a ok job on that. I am still quite new to shaders and trying  to play around  with the different types of nodes while remembering them is going to be quite a challenge.  

Also to get the star I was playing around with the grease pencil tool on blender.  It was hard to get the right shapes as I was using mouse.  So I had to use the line tool to do the star and then free form draw the patterns.  Using this tool was fun as it was my first time ever using it.   To  make the star mesh , I had first download a add on called simplify curve and but before I used simplify curve, I had to convert the mesh into a poly curve. Where I then used simplify  curve. I then gave the curve some thickness and arranged the points so it was neat.

Introduction and short overview

In this project I am going to make a abandoned house.   This house was abandoned by a family during the war against Germany during WW2.  This family had a dark history.   During world war 2 This family had a hidden basement. Inside this basement,  did the some of the worst inhuman and evil experiments take place. 

They allowed the Nazis to do inhuman  experiments .   This included:  attempts to make a hybrid human, trying to make a DNA weapon where they could target who they wanted VIA  exposure to lethal amounts of gas, hidden in plain sight.

Inside this house I will replicate and illustrate the horror and the try to work on colour and lighting to portray the amount of sheer evil and hatred of history this house left behind.   I will also try to make all the objects all old and have that antique look.   

I will also show case some of the research of different images I found on google.
