People of Note - Battle Props, Jonathan Ma

Tested out some grass I made in SpeedTree! Gonna start adding plants into engine as I make them :))

Been thinking of maybe trying streaming out. Was thinking of steaming my process of learning speedtree and maybe some personal work. It'd be nice to interact with other artist

Some clover practice with speed tree 🍀 This is so much faster than what I would have done before. Might start practicing, bring some into engine to test out the workflow a bit :))

Some more speed tree practice with a flower! 🌺 Gonna keep at the grind!

More plant practice reps this morning! Pls ignore the wonky normals on the leaves. Your boy is still learning the buttons 😂 I had a nicer version of the first one, but my software crashed 😭 It's been fun going outdoors and looking at plants to try to recreate in Speed Tree 😁

Jonathan Ma @jonma3d.bsky.social · 23/05/2026
More plant practice from this morning. Not really all that close to what I was going for, in terms of shape, but that's a part of learning something new! Gonna keep at it! ✍️💪☘️

Definitely, I can't even count the number of times I felt deterred when I'm in the really early stages of a project or prop. It's a tough lesson to learn, but very helpful!

Typically, when I make the blockout, I'll make it all in one Maya file and import it into Unreal for easy iteration. After I'm happy with the blockout, I'll usually start making assets in their own separate file and then bring them into the engine, replacing the blockout versions as I go. :))

Starting my speed tree journey! Something I've been really wanting to learn to improve my pipeline for creating foliage. Starting super simple, but I'm already enjoying this so much more than my usual way of making foliage! 🌱

Trust The Process 💪 Something I've gotten better at over the years and am still improving at. Understanding art will always have an "ugly" phase, and being ok with that has helped so much with my productivity 😄

Two weeks ago, I flew out to LA to celebrate the launch of People of Note, a game I worked on that had so much love and passion put into it! 🥳 In many ways, this was a dream come true, being able to meet so many people and celebrate something phenomenal! I loved this journey and this crew! 🥰

Looks awesome! I really like the texture you have on it!

Been wrapping up some final renders for my most recent project. Here's a side by side breakdown of some of the water shaders I made for the project! :)) 🌊

Sure thing! I'm still keeping this version for added variation for this project, but I like the night time version quite a bit

Worked on this blueprint last week for my fish to swim around in my fountain!! :)) Really happy with these little fishy 🐟

Jonathan Ma @jonma3d.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
Made a little swimming shader for my fishy friend!

Jonathan Ma @jonma3d.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
Made some updates to the scene. Some pretty drastic changes to the lighting, but I think it made a very nice improvement. I feel like I'm getting close to the finish line 🤞😁

Jonathan Ma @jonma3d.bsky.social · 24/02/2026
Some shader work I did this past week. Wanted to create a paint splitting effect for the wood in the scene. Think it came out pretty nice, but might make a few more tweaks later down the line 😊

Jonathan Ma @jonma3d.bsky.social · 20/02/2026
Made some more progress on the scene. Focused a lot on adjusting things like the composition and color values, and I'm happy with the improvements! Still more to go, but getting closer to the finish line! :))

Jonathan Ma @jonma3d.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
Worked a good amount of time on this over the past week. Been focusing on getting all the assets I want in the scene, now gonna focus on polishing those things up! :))

Jonathan Ma @jonma3d.bsky.social · 05/02/2026
I've been really liking adding these subtle shader animations within my projects. It really helps bring life into my scene :)) It was also really fun to make the part of the shader that let you switch between different characters/symbols as well! 😉

Jonathan Ma @jonma3d.bsky.social · 03/02/2026
Thank you! I'll definitely do my best to share more about the project :)) I'm thinking of doing some post highlighting some of the shaders and props I made to ease myself more into it :))

It's something I definitely want to become more consistent in doing! :)) I get in my head sometimes about wanting to only post finished work that I'm 100% happy with, but that's a habit I want to break :))

Hi Everyone! I haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to share a project I've been working on. I was always too self-conscious to share any WIP shots, but I wanna try and get more comfortable with that. Gonna try to post again and share my progress on this one 😉
