WIP Akihabara
Work in progress screenshots comparing my 3D project with the real place. As can be seen I'm trying to be as accurate as possible with the google maps references but mixing it up a bit with some of my memories and photos from the time I lived there. Also, sometimes I look for more information and update some of the details to the current ones, making it a bit atemporal. The intention is making an Akihabara that everybody who was there can see and remember as it was. Also, for the people who did not go there yet, make a place that can be keep somewhere in their minds and if they go someday probably say, "Hey! I've been here at some point". It was the same thing that happened to me playing games like Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth or Akiba's Trip 2
In my project there are a lot of things missing right now, there are no secondary lights, floor, sky and obiously anything is definitive yet.
Follow this project because is not only going to be a street from Akihabara, this project will come with an amazing twist if everything goes well ^-^
Thanks for watching it!
Bandai building. On March 1st 2023, the building re-opened its doors, replacing the iconic red building of Sega Building 4.
Detailed view from the Ichibankuji shop and the restaurants.
A view from the corner. I forgot to hide the Unreal HUD.
Sofmap + Aifuru Buildings. The google map view is from 2022. I'm trying to respect all kind of details and if I have the actual information of that place replacing it with the actual changes. Also in the fisheye perspective of google looks bigger.
A more detailed view a bit from the top.
Radio Kaikan + Espace Buildings. Two of the most iconic buildings that always have been here. My intention is doing as much as I can with the interiors and mixing it with a projection texture of the real place.
I've been living here between 2022 and 23. So most of the changes that I'm making to update the "time" and making the textures are from my own memories and photos.
atré 1 Building. I personally love this one, because every 15 days, more or less, they change all the windows illustrations. This one is from the last Valentine's day.
I'm not going to miss any detail 🔥 Of course at the end of the Building modeling I'll make the small props like posters and signs.
This is the last building I modeled and textured. I'm working right now with this side of the street.
Small screenshot to show the polygon count and the mesh. Note it is clean, equitative and detailed where needed.
