WIP #63

Hey everyone!

I'm here to show you the next WIP! I didn’t get as much done as I hoped since my sister came to visit and we spent a few days together.

The first thing I did was redoing the UV map for the rattan chair. Someone suggested I shold make a loveseat version and I always try to link the textures between similar items, so I had to adjust it for that.

Next up, I wanted to make a wallpaper and I won’t lie, I spent so much time on it because I just wasn’t happy with how my early attempts looked. I almost gave up and thought about leaving it out of the set, but I really hate giving up on things, so I kept pushing through (even though I didn’t have much time.

The version you can see in the picture above is what I finally came up with, and I’m somewhat satisfied with it. It gives off the vibe I was going for!

This was one of my earlier tries, but I really didn’t like the quality, so I decided to separate the cracks into decals and go for a “cleaner” base wall instead. I do like the colors though, so I’ll include some swatches in this style!

And lastly, I made the crack/damage decal. I’ll work on a few more tomorrow. I really love using the in-game ones, they can add so much character to a building.

Also, I wanted to show you the other side of the door because I’m really liking how the hardware turned out.

Next up: I really need to do the windows and finish the texture for the citrus tree. I also want to make a table to go with the patio furniture. So many tasks, so little time! :D

At this point, I can already tell I won’t have time to finish everything I had planned for the outdoor theme in this set, so I’ll continue it in the next part as well. I want to make more plants and gardening pieces, but that’ll come later!

Thank you! I saw a similar colored door on Pinterest and I knew I had to make one with this swatch. I'm also feeling some more vibrant colors wood look good. I definitely want to add a teal one. It would look good with the orange/beige walls.

Thank you! Hopefully it wasn't that big of a job because I "just" had to redo the UV map :D but I think it was a good idea because it's more versitile this way!

As always, you're really good at doing lived in, rustic looks. I'm glad you got to spend some time with your sister!

Thank you! I've been living in Spain for 4 years and this was the first time my sister visited me here. It's always me who's going home, so it was so nice! And thank you for the nice words. I'm always trying to achieve that my sets have personality and evoke some type of a feeling. I don't think I'm always succeeding in that but at least I always have that in mind. :D
