Texturing Progress

It was spring break, so I didn't spend a ton of time on anything. I had a friend in town. And it's rude to bore them with homework. And I haven't updated images in a while. So.

Another Project Lookatthat.

IT KEEPS CORRUPTING.

SO MUCH STUFF.

OH LOOK

I made the texture for the piece that serves as the upstairs floor and the ceiling of the kitchen. So hooray for TINY SQUARE BLIPS OF CARPET AND TILE and then one giant freaking moldy ceiling. Hoorah. I've been working on getting all the window frames on the same UV map, but that's a nightmare. The toilet's next. 

Photo DUMP

I made cabinets for the top of the kitchen, because I wasn't a fan of all that empty space. There's also now a stove/oven thing, and I might be adding in a vent hood thing if I feel like it. 

These are the three camera angles that I chose. 

Added in the kitchen wall texture and there are window frames on the right side of the image now. 

BRIGHT LIGHT. I threw in the physical sun and sky just to see how things would react. And apparently the roof I had on it didn't actually register, so everything got way too bright way too fast. 

I really like this lighting just from the physical sun and sky, but I think I would like it better with volumetric lighting, so that I could get dust floating in the light that streams into the boarded up windows. Will that happen? I really don't know.

I added in a light that I can't remember the name of in front of the television, even though there's no way anything in a house that had been abandoned for several decades would have anything that's still working. But still. It's one of those things that doesn't really register to people. 

I also found another camera angle that I like. Let's hope that I can recreate the angle again. 

Textures.

These can be a pain in the butt, and gathering all the things to make them is time consuming. But whatever. I don't care. I love it.

The texture for the downstairs floor. This one probably took me quite a while to do, figuring out where would be stained and worn down, and then figuring out the pantry floor and bathroom floor, because I had to do a lot of guestimating as to if the walls would cover the where the concrete meets the wood floors and the tile and so on and so forth and Scooby Dooby Dooby. 

The Berber carper makes me cringe, but it's a common enough carpet (especially in the late '80s to early '90s) which makes it work here. Plus Berber (if I'm even spelling that right) carpeting is one of the cheapest options in Sims, so I figured that was universal as well. The concrete flooring is simply narrow slabs of concrete put together as if they had extra from when they first built the house and they had leftover concrete. The tiles are fun! And the rug is probably my favorite part. 

This (top image) is the texture for the living room area, and the wood slats run perpendicular to their outer partners (bottom image) for added stability. The '60s definitely had a fascination with wood on the walls, and that lasted through the '80s and into the early '90s. And if you're lucky, you can still find houses with wide wooden slats on the walls AND a hard wood floor! Yikes...

These three textures are for the now-yellowed upstairs walls, the originally soft yellow and blue for the bedroom and the originally soft pink for the bathroom. The wooden part that you see in the middle image is where the stairs connect to the upper floor, and the wood would have continued on instead of using the bedroom wallpaper. 

MORE TEXTURES TO COME.

More stuff!

On Monday I started a bathtub. 

And some new stairs. 

Reference for the stairs:

Today I made a toilet.

Toilets are really weird shapes. 

Reference for the bathroom:

Here's the bottom floor with the living area, kitchen, stairs, a half-bathroom, and a walk-in pantry thing.

And the top loft thing with the bathroom and bedroom over there.

Today I also built an entertainment center from January 13, 2000 (at 12:31pm).

And in case you don't believe me:

Here it is with the TV and the couch.

I'm fairly certain I'm done for the day. My head hurts.
