The material study project - development

As with all my other projects, I intended this one to have a theme. After all, these objects are supposed to be shown in the inventory of a game. After some thought, I ended up choosing an action-adventure game that mainly takes place on an abandoned ship but also on an island.

Then I started to look for references for the objects. I made sure that I met the brief's requirements and chose objects mainly made out of wood, metal, glass, and leather.

Then, the next step was sketching everything out.

After that, I added some block colours to help me with painting but also with the colour palette. 

Then I started rendering every object individually, using different techniques to achieve the material specific look. 

I also added a simple and minimalistic background with some droplets on it. I am very satisfied with the final result and I think that the objects succeeded in looking believable.
