DIESEL GENERATOR DESIGN |ENVIRONMENT PROP

This is an environment prop breakdown that I worked on as a personal project in January 2019. The purpose was to use this for future staging in environment scenes that I am working on. My goal is to demonstrate a step-by-step process breakdown for modeling assets. The end result is to achieve a photorealistic look with a game model. This model is textured using a PBR Metal Rough texture pipeline with the intention to bring into Unreal Engine. As you scroll through the gallery, I break down my production pipeline of this model and provide renders of the model in different lighting scenarios. I would like to thank https://hdrihaven.com for providing a diverse amount of free HDRI backgrounds for me to test with when I worked on this model.

FULL RENDER WITH LIGHTING
When I finished texturing in Substance Painter, I used Iray to render lighting back plates.  This is important to see how the PBR textures hold up in different lighting environments.
