PRODUCTION LOG 06
COMMAND CENTRE AREA ASSETS
This area features a variety of assets specific to a control room, including desks, chairs, large central table, and many monitors and surveillance screens.
Control Room
I designed this room to have a round shape, being inspired by some Control Room environments I found on ArtStation (shown in the research post). The focus was on its structure and proportions, as I wanted to ensure that this space was realistic and immersive.
I started modelling the room in Maya, based on initial blockout. I used cylinder shapes as a base for the walls and then added rectangular prisms for the pillars, using extrude and bevel to give them unique shapes. Large windows were added around the perimeter to provide a panoramic view (which enhances the sense of command and surveillance). Total polycount for this model is 20k. All mesh components will receive tileable materials.

Display Mounted
The bedside cabinet was modelled similar to the workbench model. Because I used the same workbench model in both, Hydroponics and Med Bay areas, I wanted a consistent look, the only difference being the base colour. The total polycount for this model is 1848. UV map was done in Maya, as no issues were encountered.

Device
This prop was initially modelled to be used as part of the MUTAGEN game main menu. As it turned out to be a good looking model, after texturing, I thought it could be a used as a prop in the bunker environment as well. The total polycount is 35K (high-poly). It was modelled in Maya and textured in Substance Painter.

Control Panel
The control panel is a simple model made in Maya, for the Command Centre. Total polycount is 1K and this asset will receive a tileable texture in Unreal for the metal parts and screens. Additional buttons will also be added in Unreal, using emissive materials.
