Senior Project Assets

Solmas

Hello!

I'm a senior in a game art and design B.S. program and working on modular assets for my senior project / portfolio. I posted here a few months ago and had a bit of a wake up call as to my skill level and process. My work still has a long way to go and I'm absolutely grateful for any feedback you can give me on it.

More than anything I hope to improve my workflow and process. When I last posted I had always built the diffuse texture first but, thanks to walkonsky and dpadam450, I found out starting with the normal is much better. I also started working with Substance Designer and I fell in love with the program.

I have images of several assets for my project and Marmoset turnarounds I posted on Vimeo. Any feedback, criticism, or advice on my workflow is greatly appreciated. I have a long way to go and so little time to get there. Thanks a bunch!

You can save a lot of polygons on the arch. What is the poly count btw?

Also, looking at the stone texture base. That should only be a few polys. The flat surface should just be two right angle triangles. Too many polys.

Hi Beefaroni! Thank you very much for the paint over and apologies for taking so long to reply. You were absolutely right about my polycount, I was able to reduce it by over half -- 3336 faces original, 1320 optimized. I'm not sure how to reduce it anymore without breaking up the silhouette -- do you have any suggestions to that end?

I'm also gonna embed some of my asset images/turn-arounds that I attached at first like a dumbass.

Thanks a bunch and I'd much appreciate anymore feedback you or anyone can offer!
