What could make this room look better?

I’m currently building a sort of cafeteria room.


While I don’t think it’s the worst thing ever, I feel that it’s really lacking some life. The building is supposed to be a sort of abandoned laboratory. Any help is appreciated. :slight_smile:
(I tend to reply to things very late, so sorry in advance)

Add plants and add more stuff on the tables (plates, cutlery) and make the bottles not the same as on other tables (rotate move them a bit) to make it look like it has been used/set up.

If you tell me what is the situation in-game I could suggest more :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m embarrassed to say that I hadn’t even thought about putting plants in, especially when I have grassy areas. As for the plates and cutlery, that’s also a good idea. I’d only refrained due to the fact that I wasn’t sure if it would make sense as the places is abandoned. I’ve looked at some images on Google too and I think I know how I’m going to fill it now. Thank you for your suggestions! (It’s hopefully going to be a horror game where you’re escaping a laboratory, although this part is before all the lights go out).

Thats great :happy3:
If this is Horror game you could add some wires/cables hanging, some puddles of water and stains (If this lab is abandoned for few months you could add vines hanging from the walls or overgrown fences) you might also add food carts or broken bottles!

You could possibly play around with the textures, they all look a bit bland.

Most things in that screenshot look basically the same, they’re almost too perfect. Not everything is exactly like the last one, it isn’t always the same texture, position, orientation, color, etc.


Continue working on it, I’m sure it’ll come out great!
:wink:

I’ll probably come back to work on this later, but I tried putting in both of your suggestions and it already looks much better! (This is with the lighting effect it’ll have off, because it can be hard to see the whole room with them on)


Thank you so much for your help!
