A curious Si'lahn named Fi'lrehiin (right) inspects a brightly colored Hal'puno specimen (left). The Si'lahn race come from the arid and rocky regions and have a natural interest in the world they live on. Uncovering new knowledge brings a Si'lahn a satisfaction that's only barely palpable to the average Human. Si'lahn inspect their world through their many sensory organs, including 6-18 the whisker-like antennae they have on around their skull-equivalent anatomy. As a child,

His name is Wormbo. This was a really quick and dirty exercise in ZBrush! Rendered in Blender 3.0 #3D #ZBrush #Sculpt #Blender

A long, dark sail through a starry river. Glimpses of sights ever older, drifting aloft. Frictionless void, echoless chamber. Until collision, suspicion and interception. The long voyage has ended. A very spur-of-the-moment painting. A flash of this vision popped into my head and I did my best to capture the same feeling's I experienced. A hopeful sense of awe. The voyager probe is out there for anyone to find, maybe this isn't an impossible vision. #3D #2D #Blender #Painting

Your family insists on you coming along on a wilderness-filled vacation for a few weeks one summer. The cabin your family has rented for the stay is located in a damp quagmire, you protest but what's done is done and you stay with them for the time. The air is thick and the mangroves coat the cabin in shadow. Inside are many old pieces of 80s tech and bits and bobs from that era. Among them is a camcorder with a mounted flashlight. This is your tool to get evidence on how bad

You start alone in the center of a seemingly-infinite world. Before you is a tall obelisk with instructions that tells you to follow one of the three paths. You are told that these paths go on for real-world miles and you are not told what is at the end. The world around you is generated based on a unique seed with sights and sounds only you yourself will get to experience. Do you follow the instruction of the pillar and stay on the path or venture into the infinitely interes

This was a tedious adventure into making single mesh prefabs that create the illusion of cutting through an opaque surface. The trick uses several shaders to properly layer meshes together for a 3D hole effect in any location! The effect works by using the stencil buffer in Unity to selectively allow/prevent things from rendering. The effect in total uses 3 Shaders and 3 Materials. These can be applied all on a singular object/mesh for easy import and use. This specific imple

A VERY fun exploration of the URP scriptable render pipeline! This effect is composed of an additional render pass where the camera's matrices are transformed to a given offset and scale then renders a dedicated 3D Skybox layer. This is given to a blitting shader as a texture to blit with the rest of the scene. (May cover this effect in a tutorial due to its complexity.) #Unity #3D #Shader #RenderFeature

A very simple compute shader that draws on a render texture depending on the location of the player. This can be passed to a shader to create simple passing-through-fog effect! I'd like to expand this by introducing fluid simulation in the compute shader as well as vertex displacement on the resulting effect. #Unity #3D #Shaders

It's a game! I will still be acting as a 3D Artist+Animator as well as the team's Technical Director and Associate Producer. More information about the art I create and Shaders I programmed will be released when the project is published. #ENA #Unity #3D

A commission! This was a super fun 16 hour project with concept art by the talented FERCI on Twitter! I always love using the full 3D pipeline for characters and this one had some interesting challenges! #Blender #3D #Sculpt #Character

Progress shots and final submission of a challenge animation from Clinton Jones! Really fun challenge. Using the whole 3D Pipeline is super fun and dealing with simulated physics always keeps you on your toes :D My good friend and talented artist, Manny Tavares, gave some awesome help with the shape design and silhouette of the dragon! It was announced that my submission was in the top 100 renders! I had a great time and appreciate Clint giving 3D artists from all over this o

Another super fun exploration in combining 3D with 2D, This one came out more cinematic than originally planned! I'm really enjoying this type of project just because it combines the 2D skills I'm currently trying to acquire! This is yet another species concept for FORM. #blender #sculpt #Eevee #3D #2D #Photoshop

I tried to do something different here, merging 2D painting with 3D renders. It came out interesting! This is another species concept for my FORM series. #blender #sculpt #3D #2D #Photoshop

Some really fun experiments with raymarching in unity! Using camera worldspace on a simple screen-space shader. #Shader #Unity #3D

A girl alone in a land scarred landscape works to find resources for herself until meeting a strange deity opens up all the nearby worlds to her. You play as this girl and deity to travel across dimensions to lands of different art styles and physical laws. In them you find clues to how to right the broken world you started in. The above screenshots were apart of my initial concepts to really get an understanding of the lighting style I wanted to approach for this idea. I lov

An older assignment in the Unity Engine just for showing the basics! Not much to talk about here besides collision counting, object-pooling, balancing and normal distribution! #Unity #3D #game
