Some snippets of my foliage asset room while working on Flintlock. Majority of the games foliage was created by me. With some foundational work being done in the months prior by others. Interesting challenge working on foliage for an open world game.

Here's some assets i made a while back, contributing to Dekogon season 7. It's always fun getting to create some assets like this, getting to learn new workflows and such. Check them out here on my portfolio :)

Had a blast visiting the Melbourne museum to see a project I worked on. My producer Nathan was in town so we decided to go check it out. Very different from working on video games, but a great challenge! Plus it’s fun to say my work has been in a museum.

Still chipping away at my scene. Been focusing on lighting and some rock layout in the time that I've had over the holiday period. I rekon ill start to get this landscape shader in place then some foliage. #UnrealEngine #GameDev #Gameart #ScreenshotSaturday

There's no "controversy" over The Witcher 4, it's just gotten picked up in what is now a cottage industry of YouTube-based outrage content farming by people who have zero actual investment in or understanding of the things they cover multiple times a day, every day

This was a fun textile to create on the Exile outfit in Survivor. I ended up making a tileable height map by sculpting the pattern on a plane, baking it out and offsetting the image in photoshop to clone stamp out the seams.

This is kind of the crux of why none of these huge tech companies could figure out how to make games. They see it as a technology problem, but when a lot of what makes a great game great is an Arts and Humanities journey

Had a blast working on Kyoryu, a super talented team whipped up this build in a few months in order to get funding from investors.
It’s a super unique IP from a small team. Projects like this may be the future of the industry. Worth wish-listing on steam!

Decided to push one of my rock tilers a bit further and make it its own asset. Sculpted the height in Zbrush and finished the albedo and roughness in substance designer. My goal was to push the albedo and learn a few new techniques

I've been working on some rocks recently. SO hard to nail down, but feeling confident with where they are sitting at the moment, to move on.
These rocks were sculpted in Zbrush, along with their tiling textures. could be fun to render out the sculpts?

Not art related, but seeing as the end of the year is nearing I’d thought I’d share.
One of my goals this year was to place in an archery competition, and a few weeks ago I surpassed my own expectations by placing 1st
It was just a club competition, but always share your wins, no matter how small

I'm cooking up a new #unreal Scene. Trying to get a good composition down and lay the storytelling foundations. Loving doing rock sculpting again. Will be refining all that as I go.
I think ill post more of this as I go, and show progress.

I never really got to celebrate my first game credit
I had just shy of 5 years of development time on flintlock. It was all wrapped up ready to go. And a few months before launch 2/3 of the studio was laid off...
A sad way to end such a hard journey, but I've come to celebrate it in my own way.

One of the things I'm most proud of while working on Flintlock was being given the opportunity to explore and help steer the art direction of the trenches. I spent some time exploring ideas that would reinforce the existing art direction.

Some interactive foliage I worked on a while ago when first experimenting with this sort of thing.
I'm eager to learn some other methods for this and see if it can work on a range of assets. but I do love me some interaction, even in a basic form.

Thought I may as well re-post this here.
Some experimentation I did a while back with water based foliage for a potential scene. Was fun to work on the water shader and some funky stuff for the surface algae. could be cool to take this further.

One of my roles on flintlock was creating foliage kits and “biome pallets” to act as a guideline for the level artists. There are some from one of the zones. Figuring out the art direction and general species composition was a blast.

Here’s some work from my last released game, Flintlock. It kinda flew under the radar, but there is a ton of passion from a lot of people that worked on this for 5 years or so. I’d recommend checking everyone’s posts on ArtStation!
