(also; an album: https://imgur.com/a/H4EZCdV - changed the topic link to show the render, for obvious visibility. Album includes node-setups for geonodes and the gist of what I use for most materials)

Hi all, I’m an on/off blender hobbyist, started this “project” as a friend of mine baited me a bit to this, so I went with it. The idea is to make a “music video” of sorts. Gloomy music, camera fly/walkhrough of a spoopy house, all that cheesy stuff.

It started basically with the geonodes (as shown in the imgur album) - basically it’s a simple thing that generates walls/floorlists around a floor-mesh and applies given materials to them, nothing fancy but it allows me to quickly prototype the building layout.

The scene uses some assets from blendswap:

• https://blendswap.com/blend/14139 - furniture, redid the materials as they were way too bright for the direction I intended to go. But the modeling on the furniture is top notch, if a bit lowpoly but nothing a subsurf mod. can’t fix.
• https://blendswap.com/blend/25115 - the dinner on the table. Also tweaked the material quite a bit, the initial one was way too shiny and lacked SSS.

Thanks to the authors of these blendswaps <3

edit: the images on paintings on the wall are some spooky paintings I found on google image search, but damn it I can’t recall the search term to give props. I’m a failure.

The source for the wall/floor textures are lost to time, I’ve had these like a decade on my stash. Wish I could make these on my own :/
