Saloon Progress!

The saloon is done, modeling wise. At this point, I'm just set dressing and texturing. Here's where I am so far:

Textures will be up later this week. Gotta focus of rendering out my other pieces!

Saloon Bar in Progress

Here's some progress on the saloon bar I'm doing for my Team Game Production (and maybe Portfolio) class.

More to come soon.

More to come over the break.

Izmojuki Model: Beauty Shot and Map Breakdown

Without further ado, I present the first fully finished piece for my portfolio...

 

 

I think I did pretty good with this! I got it down from about 1.1 million tris to a little over 9k, so there's an accomplishment. I used diffuse, normal, specular, and emissive maps, shown below:

All the renders were done in Marmoset Toolbag and composited into Photoshop.

 

Normals and ambient occlusion were baked in xNormal.

Survey Machine: Re-Lit

Here's my new lighting for the Survey Machine. I didn't really like the first draft because it was very dark in some places.

I think this looks much better than the first time. And I think I'll start doing all my posts with an all-gray background now; I like the style!

Art Test: Survey Machine Finished

After a few days of delay, here is my finished surveying machine.

For some reason, Photoshop changed my pixel aspect ratio, and squished my render a bit. So included is the original render below:

I think this could be a potential portfolio piece!

3D Modeling Studio: Izmojuki Model

For the past week or so, I've been working on my rendition of one of Izmojuki's models. Here is the proxy model.

Stay tuned for more.

Abandoned Subway Station: UV Update

Just checking in and dropping off some progress (something I should really do more often than not). Here's a couple screenshots of my second attempt at a subway station, fully UV'd and ready to be textured today and tomorrow!

Expect more in the future!

Portfolio Foundations: Hut

It's been too long since I've posted on my blog, but I've been doing a lot of work in the meantime. So let me start posting some up!

 This is a (remastered) hut from a level I started on a few months ago. Compared to the original, it looks a million times better. I'm starting to get better at texturing, I think. 

More to come!
