Hey, thought I'd start up a sketchbook while I'm developing 3D assets for my video game.

Here's a sculpt of the Greek Goddess Athena WIP, who is going to be a character in my game. I'm not that great at high detail - but since it's a video game chara I shouldn't have to get much more detailed than this right?
Still have to do her armour and clothes. I'm worried about doing flowing fabric. Any tips or tuts I should know for it?

Some Unity scene testing. The rocks are ones I posted here earlier, everything else is assets I got from the Unity store.

Here's one of the 3 main characters in my game. I had been using Maya to animate them, but I'm moving to Cinema 4D because it's infinitely more stable on my system. So although I have to redo all the controls, I'm making better progress in C4D

Just been working on behind the scenes stuff and character animations. Here's a screenshot:

I've made a very basic UI for now -- will be refining that later.
The ORK watermark is because I am using the free version - hoping to get a full copy with Christmas money

Got a bunch of spreadsheets going with info and to do lists. Why am I doing this? lol I can't seem to stop

Love the organisation, I need to make me some lists like that.
(btw nice job on the rocks)

I just got a Sketchfab account, so here are a couple of props I made a while back, that I just uploaded.

Basic toga created in Marvelous Designer - this is my first actual garment created in this software.
I'll be retopologising this for my game and it'll be used as a standard NPC outfit.

I must say I am loving Marvelous Designer. It's tricky at times, but it's still way more fast & friendly than the clothing system in Cinema 4D.

Cow fren
I got the original mesh from archive3d.net but it was a total mess, I redid it completely. Then I gave it a new texture and rigged it. Just got to do a few standard animations and it'll be ready to go.

This is where the texture came from (the photo is one I took all the way back in 2010). After this process I loaded it into Mudbox and project-painted it onto the model.

Natnie · Feb 2017

I've been creating a lot of seamless textures based on photos lately. Some of them are photos I've got in bundles on design sites but there are a lot that are from my own pics. I put them into MindTex to make Normal, Bump, Occlusion etc maps. I think I should start putting some up to sell on like the Unity store or some other site. Any suggestions?

Hey all! It's been a while. Had to deal with some depression issues.

Anyway I made this the other day - I'm trying to start up a business. I'll be doing animation, games, and selling game assets. Have made an extensive list of 3d models and other items to create and sell.

I just got myself Substance Painter and spent yesterday watching the Lynda course on it. I've still got plenty of practice to do but here's my first model textured in it:

Hey all. Since my last post I've been a busy little beaver.
I've set up a merchant account on CGTrader and Turbosquid, and Unity (but they are yet to approve any of my assets

)

I've had one sale so far, but I'm gonna keep at it until I have a huge number of models for sale. The more I have up, the more likely I'll make sales. I'm setting up a business and I'm going to be creating these assets whenever I don't have a client job.

Also I have to say that the people on CGTrader are very friendly - I've had so many likes on all my stuff already, and encouraging comments. It doesn't seem competitive there, but more like a supportive community.

So I've had a rejection from Unity on one asset. Not exceptionally concerned about that, since it was only the well I posted above. Two others still waiting, which are these:

If these get rejected, I'll be pretty upset after all the work I put into them.

Natnie · Jul 2017

Here's what I'm working on at the moment:

Just installed Unity 2017.1 - new Timeline and Cinemachine features will really help. Just need to learn how to use them.
In the meantime I'm waiting for Unity to update everything... so many issues. I had to switch to the new post processing stack because the legacy Bloom script no longer worked. But I also seem to be getting Cinemachine errors and I only just installed it. I wonder what's up with that.

Natnie · Jul 2017

How many replies do I need to do before I get a page 2? This first page is getting a bit cumbersome.

Natnie · Jul 2017

Getting around to redoing the textures for my characters. It's a bit laborious. Have to redo the blendshapes for the face over, as the mesh changed just enough to mess everything up. Fortunately that isn't the case for the joint animation, as I just had to link up the new bones to the controls fresh from Mixamo. Don't know what I'd do without Mixamo lol
