1872 triangle shelf! I have these little cylinder feet that take up like 640 triangles on their own 😩but I'm having a lot of fun slowly cluttering this scene! I created some variants of this shelf too since it's all floating objects, will share them later 😼

Made a chair today! I've got a warm light blasting in unreal so it's a lot warmer in engine, also seeing some spots that need attention on the chair (some areas catch the light weirdly). Progress feels slow but this coming week I'm gonna full send it 😤

Spent some time earlier today making a wooden plank floor for my scene! I worked slightly differently when sculpting the forms but I'm glad it didn't mess up the tile of the wood. In-engine scene is quite warm but I'm digging how chunky and worn the planks came out.

Hi, #PortfolioDay 🌿
I'm RJ, a 3D Artist with a love for stylised environments and props.
I'm still aiming to find my first break into the games industry though it has been a rough year.
Would deeply appreciate any guidance from fellow devs 💙

OH! I didn't notice when taking the screenshot in maya but the table is just rotated around the wrong way^^ Flipped it back and it matched the planks

I was so short for time that I rushed parts of this project back when I was studying but it's a bit wild to see how little information is lost after dropping the triangle count down by a quarter. This one took longer to re-do, lots of weird bakes but it's coming out well I think!

New mini updates~ I was able to find my old textures for the utensils and plates, I love smart materials. Also feel like there's still a bunch of room for optimizing the uv space and meshes but it's super rewarding seeing the bakes come out looking not scuffed!

Still yet to texture but it's neat seeing the two cleavers side by side in engine.

Made a cast iron pan for my portfolio piece rework. Sitting at 700 tris right now with some quickly slapped on textures. Hoping to chuck a bunch of props onto a texture sheet and focus on optimizing, might see if I can drop the tris down more since it isn't a complicated object.

Was fortunate enough to get Abe to look over my portfolio during his monthly review stream! ( ˙▿˙ ) I'm usually really bad at reaching out for an extra set of eyes but I'm going to go through this project and clean it up between planning my next project. 🌿

I chopped and placed the fish onto my barrel trim but I really liked how the planks came out on this sheet!

All these props! I wasn't sure how close up the final renders were going to be but it's a nice small collection. Looking forward to doing a focused project on just props next. I feel like they've been less of a priority compared to the final renders.

Sharing some assets from the Brackeys Game Jam that I made! Nothing super polished but it was nice to have participated. An assortment of kitchen props and a couple trim sheets too

Current Artstation pages for this portfolio piece! Always unsure if the flow looks good or if I'm demonstrating each element to the best of its ability 😔 been pondering back and forth the past few days. Biggest fear is if it's appealing for an employer or just too much to scroll through.
