Tile Project #2

3D Level with Foliage Layer and Building Model Imported

Do You See It....

It started out as a picture of a tile in B/W.

Art Test

These are the renders that I completed for an Art Test. The top image is the full render with lighting from 3D Max. The following 2 pieces are a grey material render, and also a wireframe to show the structure of the model. The model was created using 1,410 Polygons, or 2,999 Triangles (had to be 3,000 or less). The final image is a composite of the textures that I used in creating the final render of the building. Each square is 512x512 pixels.

More Progress

I have finished unwrapping the boards, and added some texture designs to the some portions of the outer walls.

3D Model Update

I still have some texture unwrapping to do, as well as adding some extra things to really make it pop some more. I have around 180 or so triangles left to add to make it within the 3,000 triangle limit. The below image is just after I had started, before adding the rock wall at the bottom and really fleshing out the back portion of the model.

Architecture Model

A 3D model I'm working on, and the reference that inspired it.

More 3D

Trying out birch tree model, and an overview so far.

Trying out some fir trees on the other side of the level

Lion Digital Paint

A short break from 3D

More 3D Screenshots from Unreal

Redid the path texture and grass texture. Repainted them over the Terrain model.

Progress Still Going On....

3D Landscape - In Progress

Created with Unreal Developer Kit

Updated Portfolio Site

With buttons linking to this blog, my sketchblog and my portfolios on Coroflot & CGHub

3D Cherry Blossom Tree

The above image is of the rendered trees, and the wireframe models to which I applied the textures. The tree on the right is actually the same model from the left, but a deform modifier was used to change the look.

Mountain Sky and Process to get there

I first posted this sketch on my sketchblog and liked the layout, so I though I might try to do a little more of a paintover and try to add detail. To get to the above image, I first loaded up my sketch, then overlayed some detail from an earlier piece I did (above far left) on the mountain. After that I painted in the snow look, and finally added the 3 following pictures in various layer modes. I tweaked them as well, taking pieces out and sizing them until I liked the outcome.

New Header for the Sketchblog

I added a different header to my Sketchblog. It is a combination of sketches I made with the Sharpie Fine tip pen, and overlayed in photoshop.

Leaves on Both Trees

Here's a few shots of my trees with leaves on them. This was practice for filling out trees using two different type of leaf texturing options. They have a higher number of polygons than I need to shoot for, so while they look decent enough, I need to cut down the number of leaves that I use to fill them out.

Leaves added to Birch Tree

3D Tree Trunks

Close up of two tree trunks I've started, and the textures I adjusted to tile on them.

Fantasy Football

3D Model w/Paintover

Inset: The tree model I created. Then did a paintover in photoshop with one of my custom leaf brushes, added some fire and smoke, and then lighting on the leaves with an overlay layer.
