Major: Kitchen concepts

 Before going into modelling the kitchen, I wanted to explore the style I would be using and props that could go into it. To do this, I created a Basic kitchenette drawing, which I then used to sketch out prop ideas and also to test out colour schemes. It was also at this point that I decided that the house would be very old, and handed down through many generations, with my Witch character being the latest to inherit it. To get across the idea that the house is old and that the Witch was given it as apposed to bought it herself, alot of the installed items (I.e. the stove, the counters and cupboards, the fireplace) will use an older style and a colour scheme that the Witch wouldn't pick out herself, whereas a lot of the appliances (The microwave, the kettle, the radio etc) will be slightly more modern and a colour scheme that matches the Witch.

UV mapping

Today I was focused on mapping out the UVs for all my objects. I had a lot of issues with the UVs, at first, I just couldn't understand them.So, I had to go back and re-watch some of the tutorial videos from toolkit and even look up some videos on youtube to try to get a better understanding of them. In the end, I was able to get the hang on laying them out so they look good, but it was quite the process to get to that point.

Major: Beginning the texturing process

Image
 Now that all the modelling was done, i moved on to texturing. The main aim is to get textures onto everything in the scene, and then go in and add details. I'm happy with some of the textures so far, but I think some of them are too realistic for what I have in mind, particularly the wood texture, so I'm going to do some research into how to get these to look more stylised. Here is the current textures in maya. I still need to add the lighting but it is giving me a good idea of how the textures are working together. It's much clearer in this how the realistic textures arent working. I think I will also change the floor from wood to flagstones, as the scene is quite wood heavy at the moment.
