Thanks guys for the feedback once again. Your support has been pushing me a lot lately. @lhazard: I think that the environment COULD have been wider as well now, even though my intention was to make it look very cramped. xD I have to admit that it is pretty difficult to navigate in it as a player character... not the best…
Hey there! it's been quite long and a lot of things have happened that prevented me from doing a lot of work on this scene (Including getting a job in the industry, yay!) Now that everything is a bit more settled down I can balance it all so that I can have some fun on my spare time and bring this environment to life. Even…
Triangulation really can screw you over, that is true. (But damn I hate buying an asset for it to be triangulated without a quad version) (The assets are not for sale, but I just meant that an unwrap for unknown tangent space would make a safe approach that always works a good choice) Batching Workflow (offtopic from UV…
Hi Sakis! I'm from Greece as well :) After taking a look at your portfolio i would say there's a consistent problem with lighting in your scenes, and that is bringing them down by a lot. Fixing these issues would hugely improve your pieces with little effort.I will try to address them one by one so bear with me. Note that…

Hello, my name is Peyton Thomas. I am an aspiring 3D artist who lives in Austin, Texas. In this post, I will be talking about how I constructed the bridge environment I constructed, and the techniques I used to build it. Star Trek is my favorite franchise, and it’s the reason I wanted to go into 3D art to begin with. It…
I've been working on this for a year, actually it's roughly 4 months, but I had very little time to spend on this project last year so that's why this took this time. Whatever, let me talk about the project. The part one is finished, this was a nvidia waveworks study I did to learn and understand the usage of that plugin…
Representatives from the Creative Assembly reached out to us and asked if they could share their experiences with the Substance Designer tool suite with the community. The following article is their break down of how and why they use the technology in their art pipelines at their studio. My Name is David Foss. I'm from…
Absolutely! I didnt want her to be naked so I made a basic tunic. Her outfit will be intrinsically tied to progression mechanics of the game, so I am waiting until I have that more dialed in before I commit to intensive art like that. A lot of the progression design I am still iterating on with paper planning. It's changed…
Teacher only requested minor changes, so it's full steam ahead into 3d! Thanks for the suggestions and kind words guys, really adds to the motivation. Going to get some some more of the sky color in the sand and try for some really far out heavy blue flora here and there, we'll play it by ear. Started the first pass on the…
