Slowly picking away at my jedi character. Got a TON of polish to do now that everything's in engine

haalp, someone post something

working on another glTF sample asset, this will be an upgrade of a physics test scene

another cross eyed VR test

Ruz · Nov 4 2025

works ok i guess, might have to move away from the screen to view properly

Neat, always love stereo shots. Looks like there's a yellow artifact floating in front of the car door though, like a falling leaf maybe?

Ruz · Nov 5 2025

yeah that's leaf instance, which I forgot to hide 'kind of', I also wanted it in the foreground to see how much it popped towards the viewer

I have been recreating the scene in unreal, but have been a bit ill, so haven't been working on much of late

EDIT so i find these are best to view in DEO VR player. has a lot of different viewing options

Ruz · Nov 8 2025

boots update. just about sorted a good workflow for the boots, but yeah boots/shoes are not that much fun tbh

Ruz · Nov 9 2025

Been trying to do some more anatomy stuff. I would probably go a little higher with the base these days, but since it's not the final low/mid poly its ok I think.
I don't think I have actually posted that much of my zbrush work tbh

another side by side render in Blender 5 alpha

its one of those 'cross eye' images ie make yourself go cross eyed to see the image in 3d. you can also view it in 'DEO VR' by switching the eyes in the video settings, then setting it to 'side by side' and 'flat'

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/editor/m3/n1536wocxu5m.jpg

Took me a long time to figure how to get a nice render and have consistent results, particularly for VR. I would make some more improvements to the texture set/Trees if I had the time. maybe a bit of fog, low lying mist etc

Ruz · Nov 15 2025

one more - the blossoms should really pop out of the screen

messing around with decals in blender using empties.The car has uv's so easy enough to bake them in to the texture

Ruz · Nov 19 2025

call the cops -quite a bit more to do, will add the patterns and text on the tyre side walls and fix the rear lights

Nearly done modeling in Plasticity one of the hero props (a pipe wrench used as a murder weapon) for the crime scene. Excited to start the zbrush damage pass this weekend.

Ruz · Nov 21 2025

@jbeck3d - so plasticity is a cad bsed program? I have heard of it but if its for games would there be any advantage in working in that program as compare to maya or blender?

Ruz · Nov 21 2025

so decided to upgrade some of my car models to higher res versions. This is the low poly render, so thinking I might upgrade this.
will give it some basic seat and interior. Quite a cute car. anyone know how to make the leaf shadows greenish? I enabled shadow caustics, but has no discernable
effect

Celosia · Nov 21 2025

Ruz The shader must use transmission or be translucent or transparent. That's also the order in which they'll bleed more color, with transparency being the most saturated and cheapest option.

Ruz · Nov 21 2025

@Celosia i tried them with a transmission of 1 and an alpha channel+ enabled shadow caustics on all surfaces, but no joy

Big advantage I've found so far with Plasticity is speed and ease of iteration with a base model + learning curve is very forgiving. Plasticity is now my go-to for general hard-surface modeling while Blender is still my default for everything else (including retopo of what I do in Plasticity)

Hi! First time posting here. I made a church for a game asset and posted the process on my Art Station ArtStation - Recreating a 20th-Century Church as a Game-Ready Asset

A couple of discussions creating assets using parametric workflows:

https://polycount.com/discussion/208690/game-ready-lowpoly-asset-from-fusion-360-workflow-guide

https://polycount.com/discussion/212679/cad-modelling-for-games

As for plasticity, it's a hybrid NURBs - Direct Modeling paradigm enables accurate edits to geometry without history based dependencies, that typically define CAD tools. Anyways there's pros and cons so imo best way to find out for yourself, is download a trial and whip through a tute - https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/5VNzN/alternative-hard-surface-game-ready-production

EDIT:

Probably 20mins if that to get up to speed.

Ruz · Nov 24 2025

might take a look at plasticity at some point - fusion 360workflow looks interesting too

so I finally managed to render metallic blue

might move the rear decal down a bit
I have actually improved the shader a bit. 2 methods, one with white albedo/colured coat tint, one with coloured albedo, not quite sure yet

Ruz · Nov 27 2025

so i decided to tidy up my scene by appending to a new file. seems to have improved something. Used Blender 5.0 release version( cycles)

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/editor/7p/ldrt46cz6ebt.jpg

Some of the textures, like the pavement were saved as SRGB, but were insanely bright in the viewport. Appending to a new file seems to have fixed some of the issues. For example the car looked really nice in its own scene, but appending to the main scene totally killed the colours. Blender can be a bit odd sometimes

Trying to figure out if I still remember how to do environment art.
Making master materials and shaders and whatnot. it has been a while.
All feedback is welcome, especially bad ones.

Revisiting an older model of a stubby flintlock pistol.
Goal is to have a nice low-poly model for handpainting
