Only just started 3D printing but I hope you guys like what I've done so far
I made a shop but will be adding some free stuff in the future:

Re: UV trickery
This is so they can remove the geometry from the handle in an early lod and not affect lighting.
As far as I'm concerned this is completely normal behaviour

[WIP] Teapot spirit - Character Art
Hey!
Back with a new portfolio project, after it was recommended to me by a Lead Character Artist, and Recruiter.
Back with a new portfolio project, after it was recommended to me by a Lead Character Artist, and Recruiter.
I've settled on this concept of mine for now:
For some preliminary work I've also done a few hand studies, as they were a bit weak in my previous work.
(I believe the 2d refs are from Klaus? They're not my own work.)
They took me about 3 hours each, which was is a slow pace in my opinion, but I definitely feel more at ease with hands now.

Back to the project! Here are my notes so I can remember them, and also in case you want to read more about the upcoming process :]
The hair is supposed to be tea, so it will be transparent. No hair cards for me this time, although I'm not sure how to make the hair mass look good around the scalp. (I don't want the bald scalp to be visible).
The spirits are supposed to be honey, so they will be transparent as well. I'm debating between each of them having a set expression, or rigged and pose-able expressions.
You can see a mock up of the A pose that I will sculpt in the picture, but I'm not yet sure if this pose is the right move for the spirits especially. It will give them maximum mobility, but it might make individual poses look odd poly count wise. I might do a mix between A pose and in pose.
When it comes to topology, I would like to create something a little bit less topo-dense than my last project. Though since this character has more elements, the poly count is expected to be higher. As usual, I'd like to create nice loops, and to have no clipping topo. (to achieve that, I might merge the topology for all the objects I can. It makes transitional areas look less clippy!)
I'm aiming for two UV sets, one for all of the opaque pieces, and one for all of the transparent pieces in alpha blend (So, hair, spirits, and the lace on the dress). I'd like to pack my UVs better than last time, so I can showcase them in my portfolio.
I believe it would be wise to try out two new programs for me for this project, Marmoset for baking and rendering, and Marvelous designer for the dress and undershirt. A big and scary undertaking, but it's for the best! I'm not sure when Marvelous will be in the pipeline exactly, but I'll figure it out.
As for the general texture style, I am aiming for something resembling my last project using PBR, but maybe a little bit more stylised depending on what fits.
-------------------------------------------
Everything listed above might be subject to change, that's how the process usually goes!
I'm excited to start something new so soon, I wasn't expecting to. Before making this post, I played with around 5 other concepts and this is the one that looked the most promising to me. It was close though, so I might post the other concepts in case this one does not work out.
With all of that said, does everything look good to you all?
Any thoughts about the concept, like elements that you find unappealing?
Please let me know, I'm open to all comments and critique, and it would really help me out :]
In the mean time have a nice rest of your day, I hope you had a great holiday season!

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (93)
Hey everyone! Happy New Year to you all, hope you had a great time during the holidays!
It's been great to see the wonderful work done over the course of this challenge! Equally so for juggling this challenge with work and family obligations during the end of the year. It's always a struggle to find time for anything really near the end of the year, not just this challenge, so a genuine hats off to everyone who participated!
With the new year upon us it's also time for a new challenge to unfold. Whether you're eager to participate once more or just want to cheer on others and provide them with feedback I hope to see you all over there!

Re: Why Isn't My 3D Model Selling? Need Feedback
Try selling your 3D model in different places,for example turbosquid,unity assets store etc.Cgtrader's algorithm works very poorly.helloMher said:Yes, it's not selling well. It's only sold twice and that's it😅Me9za said:Your model looks amazing and should be selling, changes that CGTrader made to their algorithm really messed things up for many sellers. How are things going, still no sales?

I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just drawing. They don’t take me to any game studio, there are no orders, I don’t know what to do, so I do what I can, what I like and what doesn’t bother me.

Я не знаю что я делаю, просто рисую. Ни в одну игровую студию не берут, заказов нет, фиг знает чем заниматься, поэтому делаю что умею, то что нравится и не напрягает.

[WIP] Trench Shrine - UE5 Scene
Heyo Polycount, long time no see !
This winter I rediscovered Trench Crusade after seeing that they did a kickstarter campaign not so long ago. To be super honest I loved all the stuff that Mike Franchina has been doing within this theme, but just recently I got really sucked into the world with all the new lore that's been released and ofc all the amazing artwork that's been done.
After a super long artistic rut, this new obsession helped me really get off my ass and get back into modeling. Outside of stuff I usually do professionally, I seldom have any time to do any personal projects, but for some reason Trench Crusade really scratched a lot of itches and I decided to try to model something from this kickass universe.
My main idea was to replicate this scene in Unreal 5, but Mainly I wanted to do the shrine itself ) :
Trench Shrine by Mike Franchina
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/lqymJ
Also if you dig this kind of stuff, please do check out Trench Crusade only, it's an grimdark universe with an amazing game system as well
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most Recent Progress ( Still very WIP ) :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a first step I started blocking out the main body of the Shrine with a simple box and started cutting out the shape of the various wooden pieces as flat 2D planes
I decided there to make break down the pieces into individual elements to sort of emulate how this would be done in real life with actual pieces of sculpted wood
To note at this stage I was thinking of making the shrine way bigger than it was in Mike's concept, but I actually ended up scaling it down later on
At this point I got further along making the wooden pieces. Some of the central pieces that extrude towards the inside of the shrine were a right pain in the ass to make, and required a lot of retopo and manual edits. Imo I've gotten quite rusty modeling
, but this has been super fun
I haven't done a lot of realistic models, since my main focus has been quite styled and cartoony meshes, but this has been really fun to make so far
Here I've blocked out most of the façade of the shrine.
At this point I was trying to figure out how I'll proceed with the rest of the shrine, and what would the sides and the top of the roof would look like
After some failed attempts and some variations I did not dig, I got back to the drawing board and got some references.
