Classical Japanese Room WIP

Any thoughts on improving?

Thanks in advance

Great start.

 

The wood grain material isn't tiling properly and I would also adjust the levels of that map in photoshop.

 

The light is good.

for what it is worth IMO, you would likely never see those lanterns in that space, and the writing on it is strange. They jump out at me as not being authentic.

Nice start

For your washitsu, I have provided a few terms that you can use to search for reference.

Check the proportions of your tatami mats, they look half size.

Rather than a fan on the wall, a wall hanging (kakemono) would be more appropriate recessed into an alcove (tokonoma) with the vase slightly off set to one side.

Also quite often these rooms have a kind of cut wood vent above the sliding doors, which name completely, escapes me.

Hope this helps

Thanks for all the comments guys. Now that you mentioned the wood tileing it really bothers me so that will have to be fixed. About the other stuff you can see in this picture that i was modeling from that i have everything they have. Lanterns and no vent included. but thanks for the suggestions.

can u give details on how u made the lanterns, i.e. sphere with bump map etc. i like them

[richmondlu]

All photoshop textures on a sphere.

Here is the texture and alpha files.

[Dave Buckley]

alpha file? bit inexperienced in the textures department i'm afraid, please elaborate

[richmondlu]

the pic on the left is for the texture or bump of the sphere and the alpha or color is for what it looks like on the outside of the sphere. sorry Alpha=color
