Production III Blog Post #1

Starting off the new year strong this semester by focusing the team on the intro hero shot. We split the workload according to tweaks needed by this shot specifically, such as set dressing, texturing, modeling, and simming. For this week, I was assigned to retexture the school model because it stuck out of the ground like a sore thumb. Bianca did an excellent job at wonking the school so that it looks more organic and fits the aesthetic of our short. From this, I retextured the model and added more wear and dirt to make it blend into the groundplane better.

This is a test render of the new set dressing, new model and textures in the scene.

Below are the images I was given for reference. I really wanted to incorporate the texture by giving it some height and specular breakup. Additionally I wanted to paint some stains and color variation to give it more depth.
