Sketchbook: JonathanLambert

JonathanLambert · Jun 2012

Hi,
My name is Jonathan and I live in Houston, TX. This thread will hopefully track my progression from chemical plant worker to environment artist.

This is the first real time asset that I created. It could be better optimized but I learned a lot about the game art pipeline with this project.

Crits and advice appreciated.

Thanks.

As much as I love making guns, I need some variety in my portfolio and some full environments. With this project I am learning UDK and getting familiar with using a modular workflow.

This is still a WIP:

Your last name is LAMBERT? Man you were born to do CG

Scene is coming along nicely

I like to think Johann Heinrich Lambert is in the bloodline, it would explain a lot of my nerdy tendencies.

Nice looking guns and scene. That is a really cool looking building and setup for an environment. Did you have any thoughts on props or maybe even vehicles to populate it a bit more? Keep it up man : )

I'm kind of stuck and definitely open to ideas.

I'm thinking a half buried and busted up boat on the beach would make it more interesting. I also want to add thick tropical foliage to the top of the ridge line but that might have to wait until I build a new machine. If I put too much foliage, it runs fine in the editor but UDK throws a critical error when I try to build the light maps. I probably don't have enough memory(32 bit with 4gb of ram).
