Hey there Mister blue sky! 💙

My names Cal, and I'm an Environment Artist @BuildARocketBoy, working on #MindsEye

And I love to make realistic props and environments!💖
Been MIA on the socials, even forgot to post my ASRecap 😅 Regardless, 2024 was a good year for personal work - jumping into the world of Photogrammetry and finally finishing PS1 Diorama! Happy New year everyone, heres to another year of amazing artwork!! 🥳🎇#ArtStationRecap2024

Once upon a time I designed a concept for my ideal art store.

I then design a series of different shops around this idea and made them available as prints in my online store.

Art Store, Coffee House, Bakery and Pub.

Which one would you visit?

From certain angles, this environment is starting to look more final, from others there is still screaming blockout cubes. 😂

Old project renders from almost exactly 8 years ago (November 4, 2016!). I'm still rather proud of this one for figuring out that stamped text look way back then.

I threw out the last main shot, so I think I'll stick with this one.

PARENTS PLEASE check your child's Halloween candy!! I just found a bunch of Open JIRAs in my kid's Snickers. What kind of monster does that? #gameart #gamedev

Had some fun recently working on a simple scene in #unrealengine to exercise at different time of day variants using PBL values for lighting. Mostly Sun light + HDRI combo here. Having those #megascan scenes available is great!

This place is grate for getting art seen and far better then Twitter but dose not mean you can just post and hope for the best. The timeline moves fast and this place clearly has time zones so self resharing, add more context to an art post several hours latter to help when people long on.

Been thinking back on some old artwork lately. Most of it is no longer public on my ArtSation but its nice to keep, look back on and see how far you've come as an artist. Some of these date back 8 years ago, how time flys! Be interesting to load up the files see how I'd do things differently today!

Awh yeah, after a lot of playing around and back n' fourth, the disc's are now looking sweeeet! Fully Anisotropic with a splash of Newton's Rings for added colour!

90s Concept Computer I made a couple years ago. Do you like it? 😊

Some more blocking out and detailing. One thing that didn't make the cut last time, DISCS! Still trying to figure out how to replicate the disc refractions using Newton's Rings, but for now, its just baked into the Albedo!
