Thanks to everyone who reached out with advice. It looks like the main culprit was my own laziness 😅 I exported the whole scene from Blender as a single mesh... Splitting it up into smaller parts has helped reduce the blotchiness of things

I'm not convinced it's cast shadows but rather weird AO artifacts. But yeah this is the wireframe.

I'm trying to actually learn what Lumen wants this time instead of just turning it off but currently I'm completely stumped as to what is causing these weird fuzzy/blotchy shadow lumps.... Do I have anyone on here who can help?

Bit more noodling on the shapes and details... about ready to start planning and grouping textures, then proper modelling.

Exploring a new idea I had the other day... Just a block in and colours for now

I realised I can do the thing
Make it exist first; you can make it good later. Referencing my latest portfolio project: The King of Carven Stone. You can see the original, very rough block out, done mostly with primitive shapes and very basic rock meshes. Below this is the finished piece, with final art and colour grading.

It is done! This was a bit of a slog at times (remembering old programs and learning new ones will do that) but it's been a blast.

A high mountain top with the face of a dwarven king carved into it. Gold and black marble inlay a crown decorated with knotwork inspired by celtic knots. A waterfall spills from the face's mouth. On a smaller peak close by, in front of the face, a black marble obelisk stands as a grave marker. It shares golden iconography with the crown, and has runic script. The scene is warmly lit, just as the sun begins to set. A closeup of the previous shot, focusing on the obelisk. It is made of black and gold marble, and shares golden iconography with the crown, along with runic script. The scene is warmly lit, just as the sun begins to set. Zbrush renders of the dwarven head, alongside a closeup of the fully rendered head in scene. Zbrush renders of the obelisk, alongside a closeup of the fully rendered obelisk in scene.

Getting close to finished with this I think! A couple of oddities and polish points, particularly with the most clumps, then it's done.

Some of today's progress! Got the gravemarker blocked in and most of the sculpting done. Also got much of the waterfall shader blocked out. Nearly there!

Screenshot from zbrush of an lightly weathered obelisk with runic lettering and decorations similar to celtic knotwork. A block in of the previous obelisk in the environment. It sits on a rocky outcrop; behind it, a waterfall powers out of the mouth of a bearded face carved into a cliff-face.

And here's a peak at something new I'm working on. Starting to get the textures in now but still very much wip!
A cliff face with a large face carved into it. The face has a large braided bears and bushy eyebrows. It is wearing a crown with inlaid golden celtic knotwork.

Almost forgot #PortfolioDay !
I'm Callum , a 3D artist in Scotland. I'm also currently looking for work! So if you need someone with 7 years experience crafting environments and figuring out how to make your ideas look cool in engine, think of me!

A large greenhouse in a desert, overgrown with alien plants. Colourful and celshaded. A wrecked and abandoned truck. It is rusty and beat up but still colourful. Stylised and celshaded. A towering robot, abandoned in a repair bay. It's yellow paint is flaking away to reveal rust. A dense and towering city encapsulating roads. The buildings are like mountains forming a valley.

Things are coming together.... though I doubt it looks like much to anyone right now 😂
Screenshot from unreal engine 5. A clifftop has been built out of very basic modular rocks. Primitive shapes fill in the place for a face to be carved into the rocks.

This was good fun and oddly relaxing. Getting back into ZBrush after a not-so-wee break. A simple study that I then thought to take a bit further and try to stylise.
Yeah the teeth should have been separate meshes.
A ZBrush sculpt of a human skull, mostly front on, in an attempt at a realistic style.. It is missing the jawbone. A ZBrush sculpt of a human skull, mostly front on, this time more stylised. It takes reference from styles like Darksiders and World of Warcraft, with large planes and a carved/chiseled appearance. The brow and cheeks are much more pronounced, and it appears angry. It is missing the jawbone.

My time at Stormcloud Games will sadly end on Wednesday, as myself and much of the team have been made redundant. If you or someone you know is looking for a 3D artist, specialising in stylised environments & props, with 7 years industry experience, please reach out!

A stylised game environment showing a large greenhouse in an alien desert. The unusual plants within the greenhouse are overgrown and running rampant, despite the hostile environment. A collapsing warehouse left to ruin in an alien desert. Beneath a green sky the sand and metal bakes in the sun. A child's playset featuring an assortment of unusual toys (an astronaught, pinyata, gnome, and dinosaur skull among them). The toys are laid out with a cardboard representation of the game environment. A variety of hostile looking sentient plants. The gas plant has a large, bulbous head full of noxois gas; the ordnance plant sits atop an unexpoded bomb, guarding it like a cobra; the shraphnell plant holds a scavenegd gun turret in its vines, ready to fire blindly at enemies; and the grapple plant blends into it's environment, ready to ambush the player and pull them into it's waiting jaws.
