Hey guys, It’s been a while since my last post, but I wanted to drop a quick sign of life. I’m still working on the project, even though my time and motivation have been a bit limited lately. Not a massive amount of progress, but I’ve replaced the rough blockout with some smoother shapes and am currently experimenting with…
I finally got a bit more time to carve away at this model. I was really hoping to push more on him last month, but that wasn't in my favor. Here's my current update. I tried seeing what the helmet might look like on him, but it doesn't go well with the current concept of him I am working from. Fits better with the cleaner…
This is a thing I started sketching a while ago, it's been a sort of go to project to open up and push some polygons around when I don't want to deal with my "main" projects. It's a redesign of Corporal Hart from timesplitters 2 in a more modern / realistic style. I don't really do a lot of sci fi so this is a fun change…
This looks really sweet so far! What's your process for refining the way leather bunches/folds differently than cloth? Looking at the concept, I was curious how you're going to define those materials more through shapes. Also the costume design seems quite a bit different for the green overcoat, the leather undercoat, the…
I understand what I do is pretty niche, not in the highest demand likely. So if you want to help me out by commissioning something fun for yourself, it would be greatly appreciated! 1. Zalman T6 ATX Mid Tower PC Case - $50 2. ASROCK Intel Arc A580 GPU - $200 3. MSI MAG A550BN Power Supply - $60 4. ASUS Prime B550M-A…
Oh sure, you can throw as many triangles as you want at a mesh to make something pretty! But what happens when you're limited to how many triangles you can use?

I will absolutely look into doing clear-coat when I try to optimize this down. Thanks for the replies! I am back with an update. I spent most of yesterday refactoring my previous result, with a refocus on pushing PBR and trusting it over curating a certain look. I also dug an old reflector out of the garage and studied it,…
You'll want to add some parallax to whatever texture you use inside the portal. You can learn about how to do this by searching the web using a search like game vfx portal tutorial cubemap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmaNiz0o11A
Great work on it @BillyJackman! Glad to see you stuck with it and put some great details into the walls with the drips and dirt. :) The only thing I'd want to point out for your next project would be to look into ways to make the pipes feel more embedded into the concrete. Particularly the copper ones feel like they're…
Thanks for your patient reply. I'm still getting the hang of this forum, but your tips should help me pick up the Q&A etiquette quickly. The approach you shared is incredibly useful.
I'm learning Blender right now for product design visualization. I hit this specific roadblock and want to nail this skill so I can…
