Southside House Corner

A model of a room based on a photo in Kotomi_'s 'Southside House -Wimbledon' , Flickr collection (https://www.flickr.com/photos/kotomi-jewelry/19218631743/in/photostream/). I've added some lighting and set varieties, and some close ups of individual assets.

This project is a final year university project done over a semester. I did everything (modelling, texturing, lighting, rendering) except the "concept," which was taken from real life references. I tried to pick a room reference that I thought had a good variety or shapes and challenges. The room was first blocked out using simple shapes and over time I referenced the assets into the scene, it was very exciting to see everything come together and a blocky grey space become more and more like real life.

The main red leather seat was definitely the biggest challenge for me. I found it difficult to model such a soft form and took 3 attempts to reach the final outcome. Texturing leather was also a challenge, especially in red.

Overall, I learnt a lot through this project and am looking forward to modelling more environments!
