The old factory

This is a factory with a blast furnace as centrepiece. When I started looking for ideas for the second round I was going more to sci-fi hangar/workstation. After a while I found some more interesting reference of an old and abandoned factory. There was a picture of a furnace that gives me the motivation to make it. So I started gathering more reference about that furnace.

I like the details of the furnace and the amount of cables and the “complexity”. In the end I made a combination of the different type of furnaces.

Software that I will be using is Unreal Engine 4, 3ds Max, Substance painter, Substance Designer, Photoshop, Mudbox, Zbrush and Houdini.

Note: I enabled global illumination on directional dynamic light. I always wanted to try testing this so I used it in this project.
