I’ve recently gotten around to posting my updated biomechanical environment project to #TheRookies!
I’ve worked on the resolution of the textures, balancing the UVs of trims and fixing lighting.

I’ve recently participated in a #LOTR themed monthly challenge held by #FMA. I tasked myself with creating the Arkenstone on dwarven treasure.

Learnt a lot from this project! Using Subsurface Profile and properly using the Atlas Scatter node.

For my final 3rd-Year uni project, I am making a game demo set on Mount Olympus. As one of the team's material artists, I've been creating natural materials like moss and rock alongside some trim sheets. Here are some wips!

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramic with gold. As part of a weekly challenge, I created a procedural Kintsugi material in #substancedesigner and rendered it in #ue5. I'm extremely pleased with how these turned out!

I made a stylistic herringbone floor material to try out #instaMAT Studio. It is effortless to use and includes so many features to explore. Rendered in Unreal Engine 5.

Sorry if you’re squeamish! Here’s a modular gore material i’ve been working on in #substancedesigner for my uni #VR team project recently. It’s been really fun to create horror assets during October 👻
