Started to create assets to help tell my MP5's story. Created Bank Vault Door, deposit boxes, Money cart, stacks of cash, light cages (for alarm lights) and flooring. Most of the textures are finished using mostly Marmosets' tiling premade textures. Although I did have to create the money textures in Substance as well and intended on revising the money cart textures a bit in substance as well. Assembling everything and starting to think about how I want to arrange my renders. I am thinking of slow panning shots that will be one after another with the alarm lights flashing giving it a bright red glow. Maybe an alarm sounding off in the background as well to give the effect of it heist being in progress. My goal is to wrap this one up by the end of the week!

Finishing up the textures for the MP5. This was quite the journey. I have one last pass I want to do on this before it's over. But have also moved in to Marmoset, starting to layout the assets to tell the story.

It has been a little while since I have posted about my personal project. It is slow moving but progressing none the less. I have been getting some great feedback and super appreciate all the assistance along the way!

Since my last post I have dug in deep on the metal texture, adding logos/indents, roughness, color variation and dings (plus some). I have made a few small tweaks to the wood as well. One of the biggest things I have done for this last WIP is added some imperfections to the mesh and texture surface. Utilizing a "wobble map" (not sure if that is an official term haha), and moving vertices to give it that well used look.

My next steps will be to add in some of the oils from use as well as dust/dirt build up in the abandoned areas of use. I am excited to hear if anyone has some feedback for me, as I can sense my blinders setting in from looking at it a bit too long.

A little WIP shot. I have been chipping away at these textures. Got some great feedback about the wood last week. Trying to infuse a bit more life into the wood design compared to my prior attempt. Still have some work to do on the wood, but may just let it be for now then circle back later on.

Making some progress on the receiver for the mp5. This is a whole new challenge in understanding the terms, how things tick and assemble. It has been surprising fun to break this project down so modularly!
