This week I’ve been working on the least fun part of the 3D modeling, UV unwrapping. Thankfully Maya has a good set of tools to speed up the process slightly. Whoever developed the planar map tool at Autodesk has my deepest regards. SO MUCH TIME SAVED. Now obviously I’m nowhere near done yet, but IContinue reading “Shrine: UV Unwrapping”

3D Modeling- Shrine
This month I’m working on a 3D model of a Shinto shrine. Added a porch, stairs, railing, and bells. I can’t wait to start on the texturing process, but there’s going to be a lot of UV working (and reworking) with this one. Then once I’m done with that I’ll make some bamboo, rocks andContinue reading “3D Modeling- Shrine”
Anti-Drone Gun Modeling #2
UPDATE 4-21-17: I finished the model around August last year, but never got around to posting it. Here she is! We now resume the blog post. I’ve made significant progress on the anti-drone gun model. Today I got all the texture work done for the stock of the gun- diffuse, occlusion, normal, height, and specularity.Continue reading “Anti-Drone Gun Modeling #2”
Better Tools, Better Art
Great news! I am now the proud owner of an Intuos tablet! No more Bamboo Craft or buggy driver issues for me (hopefully)! With the Intuos drawing curved lines is much smoother, which I love. I’m also enjoying the heightened pressure sensitivity, because it was lacking in the Bamboo Craft. Now I can spend lessContinue reading “Better Tools, Better Art”
Concept Art: The Power of the Polygonal Select Tool
Sometimes the lack of technology opens new ways of doing things, as I’ve experienced lately. Unfortunately, my Wacom tablet of five years decided to give up the ghost, and now I’m researching my next drawing hardware acquisition. At the rate I’ve been going though, I may not need a tablet for awhile, and it’s largelyContinue reading “Concept Art: The Power of the Polygonal Select Tool”
Back In Business
This is a quick post, but I’ve been trying out some new rendering techniques for concept art. Here’s my first go at it- I designed this sword for a video game setting. More to come later! Post commandered by the US Claire Force
Announcing New Game Dev Project!
I did it! I finally did it. I decided to pay the $100. Now I’m a proud owner of Game Maker Studio and I feel awesome. And also ready to make a game. For now, I’m going to call this game Fight the Darkness, because until something novel comes along, it’s the title that IContinue reading “Announcing New Game Dev Project!”
UI Design & Weapons Concept
I’m going to keep this post short and sweet, because I’m applying for jobs and have a lot coming up in the next post. I finished the weapons concept I’ve been working on, as well as a UI page for the fictional game Dragoon Chronicles. I’ve included a time lapse of my work flow forContinue reading “UI Design & Weapons Concept”
Adventures in Portfolio Building & Learning
Hello my readers! I hope everyone’s doing well in their game development quests! In my most recent adventures, I’ve attended several portfolio reviews and received valuable feedback. Of my current three portfolios, game design, concept art, and user interface design, I’ve learned that my game design portfolio is the strongest. Huzzah! However, I do needContinue reading “Adventures in Portfolio Building & Learning”
