Textured Concrete Pillar

I've been working for a bit on this sculpt and decided to texture it. There are still a few tweaks but I feel I'll keep it like this, been working the low poly/texturing for a few evenings.

Cheers,

[WIP] High poly concrete pillar

Fabric sculpting

After a few months I finally got around to sculpt some fabric in Zbrush in my spare time to improve my workflow and simply get everything done in one program. Unfortunately I did have to do a bit of blocking out and fixing model issues outside of Z.

I also got some other projects going but they're not at a stage that it's ready to show yet ;).

Cheers!

February update

Small update on the new environment I'm working on, it's still in a pretty early phase but hopefully next time I'll be able to show it in game with some cool textures. ;)

Also you can find here other stuff I have been working on in my spare time; the low poly creature model baked to a 2k texture (not textured though). And I messed around with some 2D art as well!

Hope you like it,

Cheers,

Creature sculpting pt.2

Little update on the creature, I've adjusted the "face" and some parts have a better defined silhouette shape. I also added some hairs in the high poly mesh and I am considering working towards my high poly right now.

Creature sculpting

This is going to be a rather small blogpost, simply to show off that I'm still alive and I am working on some bigger blogpost about some technical aspects in game-art. The creature I've have been working on is loosely based on Dead Space 2 and was created from scratch in Zbrush. It's still work in progress the leg on the backside is barely sculpted but I might scratch it.

Textures & shaders

It's been quite a while since I wrote my last post and this time I'd like to show off my new experimentations with shaders for personal work and several textures I did for the awesome guys at Gametextures.com. This was a great opportunity to improve my workflow and experiment with several styles.

During my time of workflow improvement and texture skills improvement I have sculpted a few Insert Multi Mesh assets. For example this set of rocks.

 

Besides that I have worked on a new personal project but it's pretty much in the concept phase so that I'll have to keep for the next time. ;)

Please feel free to check out my breakdown/tutorial for creating this rain shader in UDK.

This shader is still Work in Progress, but the gif shows a clear idea of the shader in several states of wetness on the surface. But the main thing that got me stuck with this shader is the blending/animating of one wetness state into the other one, I want to create one state of wetness "flowing" into the next state of wetness. This is rather challenging for me mainly because of the fact that I'm not a programmer or shader artist by trade, so figuring this out is pretty crazy.
