Best Of

I've re-uploaded all Kevin's images, in the context of his original posts. So now they're hosted here, and here to stay.

Hi everyone ! 
This is my latest project, for a fan game of Pogo Painter from Crash Bash

Spécial thx to @Fabi_G for his help with the fur  

Hello! How's everyone? Glad to see the entries and progress everyone else has made. It’s been quite a while since my last update, school kept me busy. After finalizing the scale, proportions, and overall look of the scene, I’ve started refining the mesh details. While I’m not entirely satisfied with how the meshes look yet—they still feel a bit blocky—I’m hopeful that this will improve once I add detailed materials and decals. My plan is to finish the remaining detailed meshes, then focus on refining the master material, incorporating decals, and experimenting with shaders. After that, I’ll move on to lighting and post-processing. Fingers crossed, aiming to wrap all up by the end of the month!

Hello, everyone. How are you doing?

I have textured the pickup by using substance painter. I added some handpainted details, like rust parts and graffiti which I enjoyed a lot. I have always loved graffiti since in university. For the main prop, I gave it a 2k texture map generously as well as polycount over 10K. Some parts are mirrored such as rear mirror, wheel and the arch above wheel. I would appreciate a lot if anyone gives feedback of optimising polycounts! I have start working on the other props. The more I do on this project, the more joy I get. 

Have a good weekend! Talented artists!

Hello, artists! How's your week? Hope all is well!

Everyone is doing excellent job here! I can't wait to see more and more.
As for me, I did some lowpoly modeling in Maya these days. I added some extra edge loop cuts on props to have a bit stylized look. The tris is under 1k for each prop. Pickup's tris is about 15k, crane is included. Then imported the meshes to UE5 and assembled them where they should be. I did lighting and post process setup for the first pass. It looks pretty well for me now.

ps: I am really happy I did pickup modeling, I was struggled a lot. But thanks god it looks decent now. I am so excited about the next steps. 

Have a nice weekend, everybody!

Looks great! Scale and composition of the scene look correct to me.
I think in future you might like to spend longer on an initial blockout to match to the concept more closely. The truck is complicated, getting to grips with those shapes is going to take more than a few cubes.
Otherwise, good job on a pretty technically challenging model!
