Very nice work

The detail and authenticity in the White Dragon Noodle Bar are outstanding—you’ve truly raised the bar with the textures, menu items, and iconic Blade Runner vibe!

These Cyberpunk Umbrellas sound amazing! I love how they blend the iconic aesthetic of Blade Runner with customizable features. The neon-infused designs would really bring a vibrant touch to any scene. I'm curious about how the wet/dry effects work—do they create a realistic shimmer? Can't wait to see how they enhance virtual environments!

Yes, the textures I used for the wet umbrellas look realistic and provide reflection. You can control how much by using the sliders related to specular, glossy, reflection and refraction in the surfaces tab. When I want it to look soaked, I keep the glossy high and the glossy roughness low. If you bring the glossy roughness up, you can get an effect like the rain has just started and the drops are sitting on drier surface. The photos you see above are more "balanced" between the two possibilities I just described. The same is true for the Asian umbrella set.

I personally like to play around with matching different neon light sets to different surfaces (dry/wet/how much wet) to get different effects. For example- if you use only the handle light, it creates very different kinds of reflections and patterns than using the entire "skeleton" of the umbrella being lit. It's a lot of fun to experiment with!

Thanks for your kind words! This has been such a great learning process for me and I'm very glad you took the time to check out this post. I'm currently just finishing up on the metrokab vehicle and then will start the final quadrant. I'm both very excited and intimidated to make it, as it has some of the most iconic elements that have to be just right. For example- The White Dragon/ Metrokab stand, Bradbury building, electronics shop where Deckard is reading a newspaper and the glass and neon mall where Zhora is shot.

I feel like I'm standing at the base of a mountain, wondering how in the heck one even climbs it!

Here goes!

Looks good

Here are some promo shots I'm working on before release....

I'm trying to get better at making these, so if you have any advice or suggestions, I'd be grateful

I'm finishing up now and wanted to show you the texturing...

Here is an overall view of the quadrant

The "holes" in the pavement are the location for the other quadrants

This time around, I decided to experiment with putting some of the neon behind glass and I really like the effect....so I plan to keep doing that for quadrant 4!

I created some japanese style vending machines that were a lot of fun to make!

These will be released on 09/10/24

For some reason, my photos wouldn't post- so I'll post them here :)
