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

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

#Blender #Eevee

Really fun sculpt for a personal project involving ancient societies and near-alien races! Had a real great time exploring higher resolution sculpting and retopology for this concept! You can see more concepts for this world in this post here. #Blender #Eevee #Sculpt

A hearty practice in high-detail sculpting using Blender's multiresolution modifier on a base mesh. Normals are baked to 1 Texture. #Blender #Eevee #Sculpt

A collection for assets for our Game Design 2 Final project 'Day At the Races' made in Blender, textured with 2 palettes. This includes the map, items, advertisement assets, UI sprites and character models. #Blender #Unity

Another in-production episode of the ENA series where I act as Technical Director and 3D Artist-Animator! #ENA #Unity #Blender #Animation

A render to participate in the 24th 3D Art Challenge themed 'Folklore'! This render was supper exciting to work on as I got to use a few of blender's new sculpting tools. I'll add more to this post after the contest is over to explain my methodologies and behind the scenes! #Blender #Eevee #Sculpt #SubstancePainter

A youtube animation by JoelG where I help with Character animation, 3D->2D styling, Unity and Blender technical support.

A fun prompt-based project provided by my university's Media Club. The open-ended prompt was 🐛😎🍹. I chose to use Cycles engine for rendering due to how I wanted the lighting to fall on the subject. As well as diffusing through the glass shade for the table light! #Blender #Cycles

A demoing of a specialized fog-of-war game. This was my team's original idea for our Game Development 2 Capstone project. However the scope was sadly too large for the short amount of development time. The game would be a multiplayer experience where users could control either of the shown characters to interact with enemies and the environment as shown in the video. The premise of the shadow effect was very fun to implement! The fog-of-war effect is a custom render feature f

My roommate and good friend began to explore an interesting artstyle for a Software Engineering project of his. I've been exploring palette-based coloring and shading and have come to love it! The material graph uses a simple diffuse shadow to shift the UV coordinate lower into the palette gradient. This allows for a controlled cell shading across all models in a scene. This examples of fauna also gave me a chance to take a chance at painting-over a 3D render in photoshop (As

For our animation course final my team and I sought to create something mildly interesting while demonstrating procedurally made models in Maya (MEL). We used Blender for the final render (Eevee Engine) but had a great time exploring what could be done in both programs. The music/ambience was made by me to give the animation a more '2001 A Space Odyssey' feel. #Blender #Eevee

This render was pretty spontaneous. As I was helping a friend with blender techniques for making stones and rocks, I had accidentally made a hill scene. I then built upon it more and more until it came to be a very nice desktop wallpaper. I also have began to animate this piece and hope to post it on the steam workshop for Wallpaper Engine. #Blender #Eevee
