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

[Filipe Goncalves]

Hi all,

First post

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...

So far so awesome!

Great material and texture work so far, also like the color theme you're going for. Looking forward to seeing this finished!

I can definitely see the SC influence, looks very similar to how the blockout for the crusader stations looked when whiteboxing.

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.

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
