Completed this a while ago, but I finally have the time to officially post my project in my portfolio. Very happy to have taken part of the CGMA vegetation course and increase my knowledge in foliage creation! #gameart #3dart

Took an extended break from my project and I'm back with some progress for the vegetation and sculpted the grass strands! Hoping to get the texturing done by today!!

Here's my WIP environmental showcase and the final submission for the CGMA course! Currently satisfied to see how it turned out so far. Planning to add additional new foliage like grass as well as make more refinements on the tree before eventual portfolio submission!! #gameart

Been an incredibly busy week, so here are the sculpts and texture atlases for week 5 of the CGMA Vegetation course. Definitely feel comfortable with vegetation creation at this point!! #gameart

Here's the the branch material I created in Substance for the tree canopies I modeled in Maya and assembled in Speedtree. Still going to play around with the shape and placement of the branches and leaves. 😁 #gameart

Currently on week 4 of my CGMA course, I have completed the sculpts and the material atlases of my Maple Leaf (including both Summer/Fall Variants). Ready to start creating the branches for the tree! 😁

Just completed week 3 of my CGMA vegetation course! Another fun venture into Substance Designer, especially when tackling a realistic bark texture. It was also interesting to get into Speedtree!! #gameart

Completed the modeling for the plants and import the meshes and materials into Unreal. Though I might go back and add more bend/arch into the cards. #gameart

Here's my leaf map fully baked and colored in Substance Painter. Was very nervous about the bakes but everything turned out okay! #gameart

Here's the first finished plant atlas for week 1 of the CGMA Vegetation Course! This was a little challenging but it came out better than I expected! Here's hoping everything goes well in the baking phase!! #gameart.

Another project, another massive Pure-Ref reference board (which I haven't completed yet)! Excited for the vegetation sculpting process!!😅

Just started my next CGMA course! I've always struggled when it comes to foliage and vegetation, so I'm a looking forward to learning how to better approach it in gamedev!!😁

This is what I got based on what was shown in the Direct alone! Guess I got a little too ambitious with my predictions (though some of them could become accurate in the future).😅

We're only about 1 week away from the Nintendo Direct (and Switch 2 announcement). In honor of that, here's a blast from the past, featuring a high poly switch modeling exercise I made a long while ago. #3dart

ARTISTS show me your improvement!!
Feels strange to compare using a WIP I need to get back to, but still nice to see how much progress I’ve made.

Just completed the CGMA course for production modeling! It was a blast being learning how to model skills within a film pipeline! Very happy with the results so far, though I'm going to continue making more refinements. Here is my first rendering pass of my project!😁
