Custom AR-15

Modeling, texturing, rendering.
Blender, Substance Painter, Zbrush, Marmoset Toolbag.

DETAILS

Custom AR-15I had a great time learning more about guns through this project. It was challenging but incredibly enjoyable. I created this fictional gun manufacturer, SGA, to add a creative twist to the process.I started with the mid-poly modeling in Blender, then brought the model into ZBrush for high-poly detailing. After that did the low-poly in Blender. Finally, I baked and textured the asset in Substance Painter.

Ancient Temple

Modeling, texturing and rendering.
Blender, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Zbrush and Unreal Engine 5.

DETAILS

Ancient Temple Project
This project was an opportunity to refine my workflows in Unreal Engine, focusing on efficient asset creation and integration. Using Blender and ZBrush, I crafted both low and high poly models to ensure optimal detail and performance. For texturing, I leveraged Substance Designer to generate custom alphas, which added intricate details in Substance Painter, enhancing the realism of the final assets.

3D modeling, texturing, lighting, animation, and rendering for a skincare cosmetics line launch. The models were developed and rendered in Blender, with detailed texturing completed in Substance Painter, delivering visuals aligned with the brand's aesthetic.

Aged Green and Blue Slate Material

Procedural material creation and rendering
Substance Designer.

DETAILS

Aged Green and Blue Slate Material
The client requested a material that represents green and blue slate tiles with a heavily aged, weathered appearance. I approached this problem using Substance Designer, to make the textures reusable. Key details include cracks, chips, and faded color variations that convey years of exposure. The tiles also feature eroded patches that reveal the rougher textures underneath.
