Sketchbook: Dermaeher88

dermaeher88

Hi all. I'm Colton.

This is my first post here. I've been frequenting Game-Artist.net for a few months and after hearing so much about Polycount I thought I should join.

I've always had a passion for games and have been playing around with different editors and other game modding utilities since I was in high school. I just recently got into 3D. I've been modelling for about a year and a half I would say. Still have a lot to learn but I'm making progress.

Below are some shots of stuff that I did while attending classes for my BA in Game Art. Unfortunately, the curriculum was a bit behind today's standards so I've had to try to catch up a bit since I graduated in February.

The chopper is based on reference imagery (http://www.lichterphoto.com/pages/gallery/motorcycles/2006.html) of the "Sin" bike by the guys at Redneck Engineering (http://www.redneckengineering.com/sin.htm).







Going forward I'll post progress on anything that I work on. All C&C are welcome and encouraged. Hopefully someday I'll be as skilled as you all .

Here's something more recent. This was my first attempt at normal mapping. I think it came out alright. Definitely learned a lot from working on it. Final tri count was 2,570 with 1024 - Diffuse and 512 - Spec, Norm & Gloss.

That's a solid looking container crate alright. Lookin forward to when you make a full scene!

I'm currently working on a sort of Cryo Chamber based off of a quick sketch a buddy of mine did. I'm working on the high poly and will add some more detail to it. But here's where it's at right now. I deviated a little from the concept due to issues with functionality as I plan to make this piece animatable.

Here's the low poly of the Cryo Chamber. Currently sitting at 3,642 tris.
