Sketchbook: Uly

Uly

|: | me uly, me make crap sketchbook and try post more



trying to get some ideas for a project. got this one, a busted up drive in theatre, from listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I have a large backlog of sketches, it's just a question of what I bring out of the garbage to post, lucky you!
edit: it's 80 polygons. I know there's some places I could reduce.

conte

woah, that's interesting!

ashley wood study:

these value doodles have been really fun, but really challenging. the lingering thought that I'm going about my business in a very inefficient manner is ever present. took about an hour and a half

cant shake the feeling I should be spending my time doing 3d shit. blag

Uly

another goofjob before some 3d work

Fliff

Binxx

Looked at your sketchbook again and that rocket man image is starting to grow on me lol. It seems to look better and better when I look at it

Uly

edit: moved to huge portfolio dump below!

Ged

really nice textures on these, well done!

Uly

a quick, incoherant painting that's going towards a scene! just trying to establish lighting / colour

zlux

Uly, great textures!

Uly

thanks ged and zlux : )

k. here's the dorky follow up!
i played around with a few ideas for post effects for when all is said and done
edit: these are ridiculously overdone, keep in mind. : ) i'd tone it down to a comfy level in final






and the original, without post


really going to try and duplicate some of bionic commando's asset placement that made for excellent modular pieces. really excited to get working on this one! : ) Oh yeah, Unreal 3, cause i don't really know any other engines at the moment.

Uly

crocodile dentist! this isn't very productive of my time

Renaud Galand

cool stuff

Glenn-Brando

Wow your stuff is really inspiring! Great technique in both your 2D and 3D work!

Uly

hmm how did i miss this? Really awesome stuff! Something with the orange blooming sunlight like the top picture could be very cool

Uly

been a while. now that we're done at work, and my vacation is wrapped up, I guess its time to do some more 3d stuff. : ) in the meantime, here's some analogue doodles.



haven't done anything on paper in a while, but lets hope it gets better : )

Uly

going to do a portfolio dump on here soon. lots of old stuff with a cleaner presentation.

Uly

here's all the stuff i'm allowed to post for the time being. all of this stuff ranges from 2007 to 2009. will post my professional stuff from 2010 when permission is given. : ) here's some of the personal work to start out with. more personal stuff in next post.

Uly

Uly

here's some stuff from the Bigs 2! a solid baseball game that none of you guys probably ever played. : ) there's lots of levels in this bunch, a lot of other people chipped in. Screens I posted were only of environments where i can claim the greater share of modeling/texturing, or texturing work.

more bigs2 stuff in another post

Uly

more stuff from the bigs2!



























Will post some Dead Rising 2 stuff after release if persmission is given.

Andrew Mackie

Hey Uly,
Your work is amazing!
I absolutely love your assets and single objects the most.
Do you have any tutorials, and or, tip/tricks on how you do some of them?
I would love to know more of your workflow.
Take care.

jouste

Uly!

wowsers what a dump! i've always loved your machete but the rest of this stuff is looking great. super cool dude. thanks for posting!

conte

holy sh%#, Uly!
lots of damn tiht pieces right there! i esp love your treat for textures,
tho i'd fade down some speculars on some of them.
anyway niice, thanks for sharing!

Uly

@andrew: thanks a lot man. :] As for tips / tutorials, I'd say check out this tutorial from Eat3d. (http://eat3d.com/pillar) Riki (the author) gives out some invaluable tricks that any environment guy should know.
@jouste: yeah i kinda horded this bit of stuff. :] got jealous of seeing all your sick pimps and sketches.
@conte: haha thanks man, i appreciate it. good point on the speculars though, I think I know which ones you're talking about.



Well the idea is to post *at least* one thing every day or two, no matter how much time I spent on it.
So here's a 30 minute junker from last night. Notebook and markers.

Uly

picking up an old scene. (concept is somewhere in this sketchbook.) here's the basic material in UDK, just diff/spec/normal. Time to watch those Ryan Clark UDK youtube vids and find out what all this material blending stuff is about! Normal map made with Crazybump & Zbrush. Eager to figure out how to do a near-complete diffuse pass in Zbrush, little intimidating though.

What I'm looking forward to achieving is getting those swatches of paint laid overtop of the bricks, with the more exposed areas having more damaged chip bits. If anyone's got any cool pointers for any UDK or similar material examples, I'd be veeery appreciative. : )

(also keep in mind this texture is normalized with just a big light in the scene. the value will match up closer once I get it placed in scene with an appropriate lighting rig.)

Beautiful beautiful work all throughout this sketchbook Uly. The Bigs 2 work is fantastic and presented really well. Looking forward to seeing how the warehouse turns out.

Uly

paul: Hey thanks man. :] have to give big props to our lighting guys on that project. they did a great job.



here's a cat! the cross hatching isn't so hot, but i'm working on that. ; )

Uly

GRUUU

Peris

Uly

thanks peris : )
it's been a while? was out of the country for a while, good to be home.

was playing around with some ideas, not a big fan of the results any more. next one will be cooler.
