K-ON! Clubroom – Model Spotlight #1

Between progress updates, I thought it would be a good idea to showcase some of the existing assets in more detail.

Let’s take a look at the first spotlight model: Mugi’s keyboard.

keyboard-spotlight-1As you can see, the model itself isn’t too complicated, although there are a few interesting curves hiding in the corners. The real detail is actually contained in the enormous texture file.

All the labels from the real instrument have been painstakingly recreated. With so many layers of text, lines and shapes, the source file comes to a total of 115 MB, and eats up almost 3.3 GB of memory when open. All that for a trim 553 KB final image!

Of course, the keyboard has a matching stand as well!

 

Watch the skies, and look forward to the next update!
