Final Major Project [Post 4] ~ Building, Building and more Building

Recently I have been like an asset making machine, I have really been enjoying sitting in front of 3D Studio Max and churning out various assets for my level. I feel like I am definitely getting a lot faster with building in 3D and I am pleased with most of the things that I have made. My level was looking very sparse but hopefully once I have put all of these assets into my level, then it will look more like a manor house. I am not really looking forward to unwrapping or texturing some of these assets though as some have very rounded parts that will be difficult to unwrap neatly. I am going to pay more attention to making my unwraps a lot neater in this project though, as I feel that has let me down in past projects, although looking at my assets now, most of them will share the same tileable textures of wood or gold.

I made a paint-over of my library, as I couldn't get the ceiling to look right, by doing my paint-over, I realised that the ceiling wasn't high enough. Library's need to be very big, grand and impressive, with a ridiculous amount of books lining all of the walls, I think that I have almost achieved this with my level now that I have fixed the ceiling, but it still needs a few more assets. I decided to put a wooden room divider over the end of the room to separate the study from the library, I feel that this adds more depth and interest to the room, rather than it just being a plain room with some books and chairs in for example.
