Category: Material Texture

work on 18 November to 5 December

I used substance painter to create the material Texture for the character. The overall skin tone of the character is based on the zombie in traditional Chinese ghosts and monsters. The character is set as a long dead person turned into a ghost, so when making the material, the skin tone is inclined to be bluish grey, which is more like the colour of a dead person. In terms of costume material, we referred to some costume features, and then according to the character setting, the costume material was made into linen texture to highlight the lowly status of the character. Details such as texture and embroidery on the costume can add layers and realism to the costume and enhance the visual storytelling. And I used dark red as the main colour of the clothes to highlight the anger of the character after he turned into a ghost. At the same time, it also increases the horror atmosphere of the whole picture.

Scene

I used substance painter to create the material Texture for the scene. The background of the scene is a weathered ancient Chinese theatre. Considering that most of the ancient theatres on display are wooden structures, wood was deliberately chosen as the main material. In this dilapidated, ancient scene, one will see various weathered materials such as rusted metal, cracked concrete and aged wood, all of which are covered with layers of dirt, dust and stains, giving the impression of being old and weathered. In order to authentically convey the antiquity of the scene, I carefully incorporated a decayed textured surface on top of the wood materials. Unfortunately, it was difficult to achieve a more pronounced sense of decay, which I will try hard to modify later. In addition, wood and compatible materials were used for other miscellaneous objects in the scene to ensure that they exuded a weathered texture that matched the dilapidated, old environment. Additionally, to enhance the eerie atmosphere of the scene, I strategically chose red as the primary color for the stage curtain.
