Hey! After only 2 days of working on this, I thought I'd take a short video and show you guys. I ramble a lot about how much I love cozy sci-fi environments, and that all stems from my love of Blade Runner. So I began to make a small detective's office that might reside in such a world.
I've been trying to optimize as much as I can. On a lame old 660ti I mostly average 75fps even while looking out the window. I'm not sure if this new SDK beta did something, but it runs surprisingly smooth for the amount of detail I have out the window!
There's some super unpolished elements here but that will obviously all be fixed before I release it!

It's a mixture. Some are free fan assets online, some are purchased Unity Asset Store models, and some is just simple geometry that looks fantastic with baked light.
I'm making a lot of textures, though. I'm a hell of a lot better in Photoshop than I am in Blender. I started by creating the Off World banner from scratch in high definition, and even made it a video with interlacing and light static, but that's very hard to see with DK2's resolution + player distance. And frankly a lot of distant buildings are going to be flat - a lack of parallax at that distance means I can optimize by making certain details flat planes. Anything with a view that's supposed to be a quarter as detailed as one in Blade Runner is going to be harder to render smoothly than a closed-off environment. It's been a struggle to get this running at 75fps, but then again, I am on a 3-year-old video card, so guaranteed anyone with a newer card won't have a problem.

You do however have a long way to go but I do like your idea. Did you do that all in Unity and is the art your own?

Thank you! It's my favorite movie too. It's so visually dense and hypnotic. So really I just started making this because I wanted to make something cozy to relax in, but figured there may be other BR fans as well who'd like to try when it's done.
