This is how I've set up 3D UI objects in my Unity game:
I'm incredibly happy with how these models look with the shader I wrote! The items you choose from are supposed to be something like digital schematics that you can select and print, then implant into your player body.

I'm able to create some really interesting structures and environments for my game Fungivore. Very surreal to explore.

I've published an prototype version of my virtual art museum project. This will be where I display all the art that I'm proud of. It's quite small at the moment, but I'll update it over time. I'll eventually have a sprawling multimedia experience, with mini-games, scavenger hunt, secrets rooms...

Next step will be actually writing all of the biome generation algorithms...

Woodcut and graphite rubbing print. First time trying the medium, it's very demanding and rewarding. Would be much easier with proper tools.

After 180 hours, I had my first victory in Caves of Qud. It ended with rebuke and return. I read the inscription on a statue.
I laid in the shower and sobbed for half an hour. This is the most transcendent and beautiful art I've ever experienced.

I've discovered that adding point lights with shadows off is a cheap way roughly fake indirect bounce lighting. Here I've just added a large warm point light in the middle of the room, and it makes the sunlight streaming in feel pretty good.

Some screenshots from my interactive art portfolio museum. A work in progress, but I'm happy with how it's turning out so far! Plant textures are from photos I took. I'm using Unity 6 and modelling in ProBuilder, which is a bit clunky.
