Gems

Just experimented with creating low poly gems. The effect was created by making a 64*64 texture and putting it in the reflection channel. I then removed smoothing groups. The effect is cheap but it works quite well.
Texture that goes into the reflection slot
Different colours were made with a flat colour in the diffuse slot.

Cart Contents for art test 2

Creating some objects that can go in the cart. They will be made so they can be swapped in and out. Meaning I can place multiple carts in a scene and swap out the objects that are inside them making the scene more bespoke.
On the left is an assassins creed style mass of hay. I  will experiment with alphas to add to the effect. On the right is a collection of objects I think you would see in a cart. still need to finish texturing.

Art Test For Game Company 3 Part 2

Experimenting with a stylized look at the moment. I havent done any stylized texturing before so this is a bit more of a challenge. After a fair bit of research and tutorial hunting I think i'm starting to get it. Still a long way to got though. Some of the stuff I have seen on the forums have been beautiful. The sword on the left was made by using a tutorial from poly count. The other textures are made by me (wood is tricky).

Art Test for a game company 2 part 2

Ok so I have just done a total rework on the textures because I was being stupid with them. Now I have a 4 extra texture slots to use. I also fiddled with the cart to give it a bit of wear and tear and changed the lighting so its less intense.

Art Test for game company 3

So I might be taking on a lot at the moment. what with my dissertation, life drawing brief, CG brief, 3 art tests and a training game for Kraft foods. But I love too work so who cares. Also I want to thank the game companies that have taken the time to reply to me though I know they wont ever read this =P

Basic blockout of what I want the scene to look like.

Art Test for a game company

This is extended from my space debris art test.
This piece is just a generic asteroid that would be dotted around the environment. I made several different shaped ones that all the fit the same texture

This is a propaganda Sign that would also be dotted around the environment. I did both an ordinary sign and a beat up one.

Art Test For game company 2

Recieved another art test through the university. The brief is to make a cart and a set for it in 5k. We get 10 textures too use for the enitre set. The max texture size is 1024. We have 2 weeks to do this. This is where I am at so far.

Created a blockout for the scene.

Detailed the scene and created a hi poly cart from reference.

Created a low poly cart for the scene.

Created basic lighting for the scene. I wanted to go for something that felt warm. I directed the light to come through the arch to contrast the back wall.

Here I started texturing.

Still Texturing. Added more colour to the light to give it a warm feeling.

Added a window in the corner to break up the wall.


I still have a few things that I need to add. I am going to create a few different objects that can be put into the cart as well.

Stalactite

Currently working on creating realistic rocks for a few projects im working on. I start with a high poly model which is sclupt in zbrush. I use crumple and clay tubes to create the desired effects. Im still working on it but this is a damn site better than my first attempt. Poly count is 645.
