AI Prog
Hi There!
AI Prog is an Environment scene that I made for the Polycount challenge (Juli - August 2021) while learning Unreal Engine 5. I finished it in 2,5 Months time in my free time.
Concept art by Paul Trochu

All 3D Assets are made by me:
Render: Unreal Engine 5
Modeling: 3Ds Max 2020, Zbrush
Texturing: Substance (Painter, Designer, B2M), Photoshop

I tried to keep the Texel density to 1024 pixel = 1 m
- Assets are made from a mix of baked mesh and face weighted mesh (using trim/tiled textures)
- For big assets I used trim/tiled texture a lot (with micro and macro variation to its normals/roughness). Excepts the robots.
- For smaller props I mostly used traditional method : high poly -> retopo -> small poly.

I imagine this is the den of a hacker/programmer who tries to build an early prototype of a robot, which is made from human parts (thus the body part x-ray on the monitors). he/she lived in some kind of underground parking lot / abandoned building: lives and works DIY-style, love beer and potato chips.
Thanks to the people who give me feedback on this : Peeps from polycount forum, The Club,

I added warm tint onto the shadow to contrast the green light.
The robots hanging, lots idea from Ironman movie
Close ups
other closeups
left to right, top to bottom : roughness, albed, Quad+Shader, Details Lighting. The reds from Shader/Quads comes mostly from curtain tranlucency and Fod planes
mesh that I used in this Enviro. its a mix between baked mesh (like matress, fan, chairs), using tiling mesh (like serverbox, PC, monitors).
other than cable from instance mesh, I also made normal cable
three bags of snacks vairants, chips, and 2 variant of beer cans
the robots are in parts
3 main forms of monitor case and many screen variants. screen uses mix of 3 different materials
progress clip
some of the materials
Wireframe and polycounts of some of the assets. some of them are only decimated from zbrush.
One of the challenges I found is how to tackle a lot of cable: I found that using spline mesh equals too many drawcalls . in this case I made small tube and use it as Instanced static mesh in BP. though its hard to textures and cant do extreme angle.
Neat trick that I used to get chipping edges on the pillars and table: using decal
I used masking textures to avoid repetitions. on the right side you'll find what I experimented on to have the most unrepetitive mask. I created about 2 kind of this textures mask and use it on roughness/normals/albedo
