Happy Wednesday, I've been able to put in some work on the environment. Exploring some rock sculpting, trying to tackle the environment in layers. so for this first pass, I'm focusing on the rock formations. The process has been pretty simple, I have been exporting the block-out forms directly from UE5 kicking them to…
It seems reasonable to me, I don't see wasted geometry. If you go through with a fine comb you might find some edge loops here or there that you could delete but I don't think that is going to pay you back meaningfully for the time. I think rather than try to guess what is perfect, try to find the max and min. To find the…
Hello! Yeah this is my first project in unreal which I spent the last couple of months on. I'm not new to 3D as I've worked in VFX for film and tv for the last few years, but would like to try making a move towards games. The aim of this project was to hit on a few key things. I wanted to show use of Trim Sheets, Modular…
We actually use Substance Painter's ability to export highpoly tessellated meshes that have been deformed by Displacement map. So first you create "base"materials in SD. Then apply them in SP to your model and randomize & blend them as needed. Finally, export the displaced mesh from SP. For right now, we use the UE4 LOD…
Hey everyone! This is a work in progress update for a portfolio project I'm working on based off of concept art by Joshua Jay Christie on ArtStation. I plan on making the whole scene but want to share my current benchmark as I'm quite proud of it. (The water is animated throught the material editor but idk if polycount…
It’s one of those concepts you can stare at for ages. Every time, a new story starts to form in your head. I knew I had to turn it into a 3D environment eventually.
I worked on this over the course of about 6 months, squeezing in sessions of 30 minutes to 3 hours in my free time. It was the perfect excuse to explore some…
Minding my own business working on an asset when I encountered an issue and here we are with a tutorial. Most of it is part of old Polycount but some fresh take. Full version here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rlGqrE Its 2025 we have nanite, AI, lots of procedural tools and fancy features yet I keep seeing students,…
After her ascension to godhood and before Messmer’s Crusade there was a brief period of peace between Queen Marika and the Hornsent. Built as a celebration of the two cultures, the cathedral thus shares Leyndell’s golden lineage and Enir Ilim’s heavenly spirals. During the War of the Ancient Dragons however the cathedral…
Well it has been a few years since I posted. Here is some more recent personal work - I'll skip some of the professional projects that I've worked on over the last few years... Anyway, with this project I wanted to do some more hard surface Sub -D modelling and tackle science fiction material. What better than yet another…
