The Environment







After finishing the my texturing and lighting for the Dummy Project, I was dissapointed to receive a basic model of a Super Market environment to texture. The environment didn't even come with a roof. I could only work with what I was given so I textured the walls and the floor and placed shaders on the shelve's. I created the textures in photoshop from scratch to suit the style of the concept art.

Bottle Reference




I decided to darken the tone of the glass shaders for the bottles so that we didn't have to emulate liquid.

Assets for Pirates






The bottles are a combination of shaders and textures. The glass for and plastic for the bottles were created from scratch by myself along with the textured labels. I originally used automatic mapping for the pizza boxes but the textures kept moving around each time I rotated the object so I Planar mapped them instead.

I blurred the names on the products so that the film didn't infringe on any copyright etc...

Problems with importing Assets



Unfortunately the environment was a large file so when it came to the process of importing assets my Mac kept crashing. We got around this problem by using a technique called Referencing, where you can save the model and textures in indivual files and import them into a scene with using too much memory.
