Overly simplifying what I'm doing, but you can see some of the steps to the final render. #CherubDev #UE5

Mystery solved of where my subconscious came up with one.

I wonder.. is there a way to maybe derive a bevel shader to normals from a curvature map so you could just bake that in painter and then manipulate it further?

Its kinda funny how glossiness is just inverted roughness.

couldnt resist doing a quick in-engine check that quickly got out of control. I like it- but I gotta work that material. Too green!

Vine day today. Got a decent little tool set up in modo- im going to make some virgina creeper and some hanging spanish moss kits and figure out some different PCG approaches for use in Unreal

The view port for a little walk. Really feeling like this is coming together and I keep thinking im "done" but I keep thinking of more stuff to add. Im thinking of making some additional particles / iridescent fog bits. Really got to get around to finishing up the shimmer effect tutorial too!

I never played much Halo Reach but been playing a bit lately with my kid and this game has got some serious sauce. The art direction is amazing and so colourful. Bungie really went out with a bang

Damn- thats sad news about Heart Machine. Nothing but love to all of them over there. Really loved their games. I hope they can find a way forward but Alx was pretty grim with his message. <3

I cant deal with Gemini any more and the absolutely batshit insane things it suggests- im going to spend the day getting all my default searches on my devices to go to duck duck go. I hate gemini so much Im doing to de-google my life.

Ive never used zbrush much but I have quite a lot over the last few months and its incredible- but also the most frustrating piece of 3d software Ive ever used and Ive used almost every DCC in existence.

Something is really bugging me about this bridge and I cant quite figure out what it is so Im coming right into your TL and saying- hey you- tell me what you dont like about this bridge. Graffiti? Vines and stuff? Be the art director you always wanted to be.

Chasing some moods tonight. A little tree shader work + more mesh terrain with some fresh zbrush rock sculpts and some further PCG refining.

Honestly wild that Sony was going cancel Kojimas Physint and now it’s an Xbox thing. Not really sure what Sony is doing. Did their duds and marathon put them on the ropes or something?

Yeah new Zelda looks incredible. But Im seeing if you think that then all the cool indie devs will take you out back and mip the fuck out of your maps and flip your g channel and dump you out of a car infront of epic games with only 20 triangles left

Ok - Orcarina looks amazing I think. BUT i gotta say- the villagers in castle town look AMAZING and still have that N64 look. I kind of wish Link looked a bit more like them.

Anybody ever use artblast.co to find work? There seems to be loads of jobs on there but I cant find a single review about it online that isnt from someone directly involved in the site on linkedin. The whole deal is $7 a month to get access to jobs not listed elsewhere?

1 more for tonight. Wanna add some vines and stuff with PCG to this bridge. Also it desperately needs some graffiti I think

Got pretty distracted with mesh terrain tonight. Also checking out the nanite voxel foliage stuff a bit. Noticed some weird effects when I did (look at the purple flowers they get extra blurry now at a certain distance?). Mesh terrain + PCG tho- awesome combo!

So anyone currently working as a 3d game artist want to give me portfolio feedback or be brutally honest with me? Slide into my DMs.

I need something cool to watch tonight. I really need to step away from the 3d stuff for a few days.
