I used to use a cube as my player scale but I never realised how useful it is to have the UE mannequin instead.

being able to see the size of a human hand or where a surface would meet a body is so helpful

Also please ignore the conversation in the video we were talking about how easy it would be to mangle your fingers in a machine like this 😅

They also gave me a reprint of the original assembly diagram which has been a godsend so far!

Decided I want to make a 1800s letter press as my next prop while looking for ref I remembered having a convo with someone recently about a place that restore them near me.

So I rang them. 1 hour later Im at their workshop taking tons of ref pics 😅 honestly its one thing I really love about 3D art

when I was making this model based on a wood plane I found in my granddads tool shed I found it that the exactly model it was predates the end of WWII which instantly made it cooler in my mind!

Didnt get a chance to carve pumpkins for Halloween till tonight but I decided to do a portrait of "The greatest dentist of our century" from one of my favourite @doublefine.com games

With a accidental run on theme with my Grim Fandango pumpkin last year

I have 👎 opinions about halo ce but theres enough vitriol about it and I dont like talking bad about other devs so instead I started a legendary diff reach playthrough wth a friend

(On the marines head cause I noticed it have a glaringly obviously seam straight down the middle.. idk man 😅)

My partner and I thought it would be super cool to have storm clouds above the dining table for our Halloween party

So as always with less than 24 before the party I sat down with cardboard, a glue gun, some toy stuffing and old Christmas light and made these 😅

Its #PortfolioDay once again this one is filled with regret for me as I was planning on updating my portfolio last night with new props but I didnt get a chance to do it 😅

Im Tom a 3D artist from the UK looking for a full time or freelance in the games industry!

Not a day goes by where I don't think about this cabinet we found at a home removals place in cornwall earlier this year..

The walnut bur ovals framing the veneer flower art is unbelievably nice. It was only £195 but I had £0 in my account and we were 7 hours from home 😭

Y'know after finding out I had a vitamin D deficiency and buying one those fancy lighting up alarm clocks last year I really thought Id have a better time mentally when the season changes this year

But can confirm thats a hard no it hit like a fucking train...

With the ceiling and curtains textured its feeling a little better

The compressor is finally in.

I feel its coming together but something feels a little off for me but I dont know what...I think maybe the composition is off and its really not selling the scale/making it look sparse?

In hindsight I should have spent more time on comp and lighting in the blockout

This one was surprisingly tough to texture you'd think it just being made of a single material would make it easier but trying to get the metal to not only respond in the right way but also not look repetitive was harder than I thought 😅

First 3 hours of texturing done! mostly just setting up custom base materials, making grunge passes and adding height like welds and knurling.

Hoping to finish it off with some more specific hand place/drawn details

#GameArt #gamedev #texturing
September 27, 2025 at 3:05 PM
46 meshes lowpoly'd, Unwrapped and a whole lot of baking troubleshooting later the Air compressor is ready for texturing at 13k tris!

Side note thank god for @marmoset3d.bsky.social etco 's baker. if I had to do this in substance I think I would have simple perished 😆
