Hi folks, I’ve been working on a Blender add-on to speed up asset prep for UE5/Unity. It automates LOD generation, collision mesh setup, and clean exports — basically removing a lot of repetitive steps for environment artists and tech artists. BlenderNation covered it recently: 👉 BlenderNation Article I’d love to hear what…
Week 8 update! Finally I managed to have more time to work on the project so here's what's new. Most of my time was spent texturing the props I had modelled on the past two weeks. I also got around to learn more about decals so I could fix some issues I had with the plant leafes on the table, and that also let me start…
So for smaller assets, particularly props and assets like that. I would make my lowpoly first and put that on a layer. Then make a subdivided version (not subdivided in the sense of highpoly modeling just edge loops so that Ill have even quads in Zbrush. If I know I'll need a pattern on a specific piece say a wicker…
hello everyone, So I am an art student who wants to go into 3d modeling and texturing for environments. I have been working hard to create a portfolio and all, but recently I was told that 3d modeling for environments or props would not be a good career choice because of websites like turbosquid, and the fact that other…
Hey! The situation in the 3D industry right now is, mildly speaking, not good. There were a lot of factors but I'm sure you've heard about the layoffs and studio closures. What this means is that it's currently very hard to get a job as a 3D artist. I've seen people looking for jobs for way longer than 6 months, so you're…
Looks good so far! I think your textures are looking a little bit flat tho, I would suggest adding some linear gradients in there to add some visual interest. You could do a bottom up gradient on the main dispenser, as well as the handle itself, maybe play around with it and see what you can find. Stuff like this is a good…
hey guys i just downloaded Tool Bag and when i try opening it my pc starts making some beeping noises and i get this error in the Tool Bag log: Particle: cannot load file"base/particle/impactwater/impactwaterbig.part"! Sound: cannot open sound file "base/sound/impact/impactwater_large.wav"! Cannot load audio file…
The concern about security around files is a totally valid one. We're developing a pipeline for larger studios to host their own S3 buckets, so files remain entirely their own, and remove this risk you're talking about. It's a larger build though and we want to ensure it's done properly! For now though the focus is…
Hey man ! i have short time so ill be brief : * The folio feels a tad "empty" and you seem to focus on props when you say you also specialize in rigging and lighting in your artstation, at the moment you dont showcase any of that so i would refrain from publicizing stuff that you dont show work on. * There is a lack of…
