[UE4] Station C3 - Sci-fi Environment (WIP)

Hi all,

First post [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/uploads/emotic…/emot_smile.gif]

I'm working on this modular environment right now. It's a commercial area / mall in a space station, somewhere in a near future (not very original I know...). I started concepting and sketching myself, but then saw some great stuff from Star Citizen and decided to use that as reference. I don't want to make a copy of the reference, instead I want to use it as a starting point and create something of my own. Most of the pieces are just placeholders at the moment. I would like your opinions and suggestions. At the moment its looking like this:

The wall textures are still placeholders as I wanted to see if the color worked out. Maybe these colors are a bit clichen no?

References and my own sketches:

Another small update. Testing materials. I've been trying to learn Substance Painter and using it for materials. Still not sure if I'll use it or just go back to photoshop...

Today's update:

Another update. Some modeling and texturing.

Update: I'm getting some strange artifacts when I take screenshots with the "High Resolution Screenshot" functionality in the editor, so I decided to use printscreen...

Working on the elevators. I'm not too sure about the design... let's see how it looks with the materials.

Update. Still working on the elevators. I want the space to look dirty and poorly maintained. Next I'm going to import them in unreal and see how they look.

Last update for today (in UE4)

And the video:

I thought the elevator area would look cool with a carpet. I tried it and I didn't like the result. At least with this texture... I'm going to change it.

Update: - New Carpet: I think this one looks much better. Added some wear and dirt. - New wall piece: SyncFlow300 - Changed the lighting to nightime

Video showing the last update:

Some updates: Added a moving fan and started shaping new modules.

Working on the restaurants...

I had the crazy idea of using wood on a portion of the wall. Is there wood in space? Of course not! This is just a synthetic coating imitating wood! What do you think? Keep it or lose it? Changed the scene back to daytime.

Thanks. I agree. I'm going to dedicate some time to other areas and then look at this again with fresh eyes.
