Description:
This personal project was created with an aim to discover new techniques. I had no intention to push it as far as it was finished. Over the months, when I was slowly developing the scene, I tested new techniques more intensely and this project just become my favorite. I tried something new whenever there was some spare time, therefore I was able to implement Substance tools to my workflow. I already had some experience with 3D scanned assets, however, I have never used them in an architecture project before. As of now, I try to use advantage of 3D scanned data every time when it is possible. I believe that everybody should do personal project on his own once in a while to push the boundaries. Stepping out from your comfort zone is sometimes exhausting and requires a lot of energy but at the end, stop learning costs you more.
Special thanks to Andrej Zachar and Peter Horák for helping me with this project.
Background:
One of the most challenging thing of the project was to pick the proper background. Since this project is personal, I could "position" the room into any building in the world. This gave me lot of freedom on the one side, but on the other, I had some hard time to find the right image with the camera angle, atmosphere and also likeness. I ended up using services of photo bank where I have finally found the perfect image. Down here, you can see some of the background iterations I considered to use.
Displacement details:
This time I tried to go one step further with the textures. Overall I used lot of Substance painter and its libraries for texture creation. This added some speed in the whole process. Detail below shows one shader which benefits from this software package. In addition I added displacement on top using the height map from the shader. Displacement shows little bit better results than bump maps but it is not efficient at all. This technique consumes lot of memory but adds little bit more realism to the image.

Thank you for watching.
