Rock Tile Texture made in Zbrush

Snow Maps Made in Substance Designer

Snow Material in UE4

Blend Layers

Detail Normals

I added snowflakes to my snow texture with detail normals.

Final Renders

Some of my specular sparkle in the snow was lost throughout my process (something with unreal) as frustrating as it was I couldn't find a fix to go back to my earlier renders, as seen in my last post.

Extra credit:

I used detail normals on my snow to create a snow flake effect (although along with the specular it was washed away).

I also implemented vertex painting of snow onto my rocks and some of the trees.

Project 3

Alien in the Forest I'll be creating a forest scene with an ominous Alien waiting for those who approach *~spooky~* The alien orb/shell/exoskeleton will be a iterative process as it will be my own creation. I will tackle it using zbrush for quick concept and design. The research component will be using Speedtree as the forest needs some trees and fast. I'll also experiment with it to create Foliage. Substance Designer will be used to create required environment textures. The highlighted area represents a crater Forest Ground Textures Final Shots

Summer Project 2 Paul Braddock's Robot

I chose a smaller scoped project in terms of modeling to have more time to focus on texturing. Robot design by Paul Braddock Week 1 : Block up shapes and start high poly. Week 2 : High Poly Week 3 : Resurface / UV and Texturing Week 4 : Texturing. High Poly WIP Final Trying some toon stuff

Summer Project 1 3D Space Ship

Spaceship For my first project I will create a spaceship from concept art by Andre-Lang Huynh. In my reference seen below, the ship of focus in the image is the one being made. The surrounding images are more for inspiration reference for what the back will look like since there is only one angle of this ship. 15k poly goal Texture Target The breakdown of this 4 week project: Block out shapes (Engine, fuselage/cockpit, cannon) then finalize those shapes. (this process will allow me to have a rough low poly version). Begin the high poly on engine. Continue High Poly - Fuselage & Cannons Take blocked out shapes from week 1 and make necessary adjustments for lowpoly. Begin UV Texture / Render Midway Final Shots
