Best Of

Finished the train and tried to do some of the graffiti/chalk. I still want to finish the rat and the teddy bear, and to see if i can get better render results in toolbag, and tweak some of the textures, but this is pretty close to finished I think.

Hey Andrew! Always cool to see someone on Polycount also from BC.

Hide the ones I've marked with an X. The others are cool. The ship is dope but the textures are so noisy its hard to look at, and the sails are super shiny. I think you could spend another few weeks on the textures for this ship. I'd like to see more images referencing how you make stuff, showing uvs, showing textures. Currently wondering for your last project if you sculpted the tree, made the flowers, etc.

Moving forward, remember, its not about quantity. If you choose your next project wisely, and focus on making it damned near perfect, it could be a job lander. Your portfolio can definitely keep improving. but if you remove these projects I've marked with an X, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to start applying for jobs. I like the direction your art is going, keep pushing yourself and moving forward. Good luck :)

Small update: got the textures put in for everything and adjusted some lighting in the scene. Still working on getting that water looking right.

Texture Updates in Substance!

Hey folks, it's been a while since I've posted, here are some updates:

I'm happy with the texture process that I've done in Substance Painte, so I'll be moving onto the Lighting in UE5.

Hello everyone! I've been meaning to update my portfolio for awhile, and I'm starting it off with a handpainted witch for cozy_wire's #WitchChallenge

Based on my own extremely rough concept.  Critiques welcome

Hi all,

First time participating! I'm loving the environments posted so far. Both are looking great. Looking forward to seeing the final results.

Found a bit of time today, thought I would have a go at the hard surface prop. Just a blockout for the time being.

I'm curious how people would approach texturing something like this. A few options come to mind:

1. Could make high polys of a few planks and and a couple of beams and assemble the chicken coop out a kit of pieces. Though with this approach I wouldn't be able to make use of mask generators in Substance Painter. I might want more paint chips where a couple of beams overlap etc. On the other hand I could generate a mask on a separate UV channel and create a shader to handle grunge/ paint damage
2. UDIMS: Put all the wood on one texture sheet, corrugated roof on another.
3. Just put everything on same texture space. Textures might look low res / wated space.

Maybe I'm overthinking it :D

Cheers!

Have to stop on this project for now. In the end lost focus a bit and spent too much time with sequencer and animations :O certainly something I want to explore in the future projects to make environments more lively. Maybe I will find some time later this month to improve a few things. Greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Some aspects to improve: Better books, rework level mesh, polish boat and debris asset, expand debris library, improve trim sheet and create additional textures, improve foliage.
