I have a friend who recently bought an apartment and is going to renovate. For helping him make a choice on materials and colors I decided to try my hand at recreating the apartment in Unity. I started by blocking out the basic shape of the apartment.

Afterwards, when I had a simple scene to work with I started working on some shaders.
Because I wanted to be able to change as much as possible with as little effort as possible, I decided to calculate everything in the shader itself, meaning I did not need to download or generate textures, since the shaders would use built in noise textures and math to show a material.

After creating some shaders and placing them on the meshes I needed to have some nice lighting in the scene.
I used my prior knowledge and some researching skills to bake some lighting and tweak some settings until I was satisfied.

Now I could play around with some sliders to change the look of the materials so my friend could make some informed decisions!

But I wasn't quite finished yet, the apartment is still looking kind of empty. And one way to change that: furniture!
There's still some extra props to be added though...

And since I was in this deep already and wanted to have something as realistic as possible, I also added some reflection probes to get some realistic looking reflections.

Now I know this isn't the most realistic looking render out there, partially due to it being rendered in real time and partially because I still need some practise with the modular shaders. But it is a good exercise. And I am also not done with this project yet, I would like to furnish it entirely, and create some more shaders, or tweak some to make them look even better

Every prop or object in the scene is created without external textures, this is a nice exercise and an extra challenge for me to make objects look as real as possible and still be very modular.

Since I am used to programming in Unity, I also wrote a small first person player controller script (and a few others) to be able to walk around in the apartment.

If you want you can take a look around.
