I’ve worked on the resolution of the textures, balancing the UVs of trims and fixing lighting.

I’ve recently participated in a #LOTR themed monthly challenge held by #FMA. I tasked myself with creating the Arkenstone on dwarven treasure.
Learnt a lot from this project! Using Subsurface Profile and properly using the Atlas Scatter node.

For my final 3rd-Year uni project, I am making a game demo set on Mount Olympus. As one of the team's material artists, I've been creating natural materials like moss and rock alongside some trim sheets. Here are some wips!
