Major: Kitchen Layout mock ups

 After doing some 2D concepts, I started working on 3D concepts. I decided the best place to start was figuring out the layout of the kitchen. I started by creating the walls to get the shape and size, then blocked out furniture.

This is the first layout I created. I liked the size of the room with this one, but felt that the shape of the room was a bit boring, and I didn't think it would have enough counter space for what I wanted to include.

This is the second layout. I wanted to try putting the window + seat on a different wall to the garden entry, and to make more counter space. I think I went a bit overboard though as I think this one is too big, although I do like the shape of the kitchen with this one.

With this layout I wanted to keep going for an interesting shape and counter space, along with putting the Alcove back one the same wall as the garden entry. Again this one is way too big, but I liked the overall layout.

For this layout I took what I liked about each of the previous layouts. This one is easily the best for what I have in mind but it might still be too big, so when I start making the proper version I might make it slightly smaller.

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.
