Swapped out the placeholder fire VFX I had on the radar dome for a VBD volume that @jangafx.bsky.social was very kindly giving away on their website! Still needs some tweaking (Ive never touched vbd stuff before so idk what im doing😅) but I think it looks a lot less "gamey" #gamedev #GameArt #ue5

I made a custom local fog volume to make it look like a misty gale is blowing in the room. I think it adds a fair amount to the scene! #GameArt #gamedev #ue5 #vfx

The baking is done! 🍞 Im hoping to rig and animate this one a little hence why hes been dismantled😆 now I can dissolve a bunch of edges especially on the cylinders to bring down the tri count! Just gotta decide if I wanna mirror the uvs for the arms/legs 🤔 #gamedev #GameArt #sprawlzero #b3d

Forgot to post it but I finished the highpoly the otherday! Lowpoly is almost done. Im trying to work within the same sort of restrictions as the game so currently 2.5k tris while Im trying to get nice bakes then I will reduce the count further after #gamedev #GameArt

Found an old video of my first ever game environment. It was my entry to the artstation ancient civilization art challenge back in 2017. Gunna ignore the fact this means Ive been doing 3D art for over 10 years now 🥲😆 #gamedev #gameart #3D #unrealengine

Reposting this for me to remind myself what I am procrastinating by doing this side project... #GameArt #gamedev #UE5

Started a little side project along side my arctic radar scene (pretending its little but Im probs already over scoped 😅) I really enjoyed fighting this shape of a cylinder merging in to this smooth lump on the side. Might make a few quad enjoyers queasy tho 😂 #gamedev #b3d #GameArt #blender

I am normally working a nightshift at the time @doublefine.com does their AF update live streams and after waking up today Im trying to workout if I dreamt @timoflegend.bsky.social talking about @leepetty.bsky.social 's "Snaggletooth cake topper" or it wether it really happened

I backed @doublefine.com AF 2026 day one because I was always too young to contribute financially. I dropped £100ish on it and was super excited to have 2 votes in the deciding of which games get worked on... I then proceeded to get caught in a really rough week at work and missed the voting 😭

Made 2 tileables of painted ply wood sheeting and blended them together in unreal using a vertex colour and the height map to make a nice transition so I can have some variation of wear/damage on the interior walls! #GameArt #gamedev #ue5 #madewithsubstance #3D

Think I learnt one of the most helpful things about game art whilst not doing art😅 New guy at work asked me how I managed to squeeze 11 hours worth of carbon parts in a 10 hours shift and I said its not about solving all the problems its about knowing what you problems matter..

Almost happy with it! I did manage to somehow turn off dyna mesh half way through so if anyone knows how to turn that back on without nuking my current work please let me know 😭 #gamedev #GameArt #zbrush

With a mix of the method machine games used for Indiana jones and some custom alphas I made from photos I took after mangling some rotten plywood boards in the garage this afternoon 😆 I think the interior wall is taking shape but god zbrush is a nightmare sometimes 😂 #gamedev #GameArt #zbrush #3D

Got my server rack models mostly set up! Combined them all onto one texture set and the back of the model is identical across variations so I can now just swap out the meshes whenever I want a new variation Couple more variations I need to bake hence the big gap in the textures #gamedev #GameArt

Thinking of boycotting GTA6? Don’t. Support the fired workers and help us fight for justice. We’re raising funds that go straight to supporting our legal battle in the huge fight we have ahead of us. I believe in our case so much I’m traveling to Edinburgh from Australia in September. ✊🌱

Since Im swapping out the glass cabinet in my scene for server racks Ive been testing ways to save time and polys so I think Im going to bake out all the different faces then compile them into one texture set and use it as a sort of trimsheet 🤷‍♂️ #gamedev #Gameart

After months of chipping away this today was one of those days I pray for as an envi artist where you make a change to a scene and feels like its all starting to come together and be a living, breathing scene I was getting worried in the middle there 😂 #gamedev #GameArt

Made a new rock face tileable from scratch thats closer to blueish grey rather than the previous warm brown temporary one from yesterday I think with the fresnel on the snow set to a warm tone it really gives contrast helps them stand out in the scene 🤷‍♂️ #gamedev #GameArt
