The Room
This was my first largescale, hard model project in any program, so it took lots of time and effort. However, I had so much fun with it that all of my free time went to modeling. Maya is an incredibly fun program for me to use and I love modeling in it. Even the harder parts of the project weren't especially stressful.
This room has many small details that are harder to notice. Pickle and Cerulean haven't fully moved in yet, so the desk Pickle's laptop is on is made out of unpacked boxes and a shelf that he hasn't put up. In the corner, there's a sewing machine that he uses to make cosplay. Under the wardrobe are discarded cups, stuffed toys, switch boxes, and thread that Pickle dropped and forgot about. Cerulean doesn't actually sleep, so his bed is completely covered by his dragon plush.
My main problem with this model is that I made it on my own laptop, which struggled with render previews. Glass in particular was difficult to render, and as a result, I didn't get the cups as transparent as intended. I made two versions with different lighting as the background I made ended up having incredibly strong lighting.
The Textures
I wanted to give a gamey feel to the room, so I went with creating my own pixel art textures for everything. Reminiscent of something like Casette Beast where it's a hybrid 3D pixel style! All of these were made in Clip Studio Paint.
