Some more shots of the dino in its environment. Straight out of Unreal Engine 5.

Time to start posting again. Dinosaur model I've made for a University project - rendered in Unreal engine. First time doing a full creature for Unreal.

@jbeck3d This looks great! Do you mind sharing the wireframe?

@rileybrown3d How would you suggest starting out freelancing? I'm a student at the moment so software licences are all non-commercial. Are there certain licences you'd say are necessary? or is it possible to do everything in Blender / other free software to a high enough standard?

I feel like I'm too flooded with stuff to offer the kind of mentorship & support artists really deserve on OWD (and something that's part of our central purpose, to support artist growth & give opportunities). If you're an experienced prop artist, optimizing assets for game environments, and are comfortable giving artistic & technical direction, please let me know. I don't care what software you use, as long as you're confident & can communicate artistic & technical principles of prop & environment art.

First semester at uni done! Could've worked on both of these forever but learnt loads of techniques and way more comfortable with some of the software now.

@ArtOfPilgrim Thank you! I've been using substance more for some of my first university projects and felt like things weren't quite looking right in Houdini. Perfect timing.

Your Substance Painter viewport sucks and here's the solution 4k version here! youtube.com/watch?v=GywcI8…

Mechanical leg I've been working on for @_Pwnisher_'s #bossfight challenge. Time to move onto the rest of the body...

@odd_enough How do you go about making these sorts of indents. Is it sort of a boolean cleanup or do you plan how you use Ngons in existing loops as you go along?

@Dees_Nook This is Henry🐔follow for maybe more Henry or other stuff.

SMALL ARTISTS ITS YOUR TURN! this is for small artists only! Any artist under 500 followers Convince people to follow you with one art piece only! OK GO

Quick and dirty render of some F1 starting lights. Less than 90 minutes from blockout to final render. Starting to feel a lot quicker and more confident in Substance now too. #blender #b3d #f1 #substancepainter #gameart #3Dartist

Bits and pieces (UV layout, low poly front and back, high poly)

UV 360 View

Finished up the traffic light model and textures, much happier with the UVs and overall product compared to my earlier tests. Time to add the supports and final details. #Blender #Blender3d #B3d #SubstancePainter #GameArt #3DArt #GameDev

@ArtOfPilgrim Glad I saw this, I've been deciding between exporting triangulated and quad meshes for my current practice. Thanks for the tip :)

dont forget to triangulate your meshes before baking

@jakebenbow Scope creep is an absolute killer. But looking good so far :)

Calling this a first pass at these bottles, going to move onto some other props and make a little diorama sort of thing out of these. As always, the scope creep is real

My first model in a while - texturing test. Still need to optimize UVs and retexture before importing to Unreal. Really happy with the results so far. #blender #blender3d #SubstancePainter #Substance3DPainter #3dart #3d #gameart

@MrmoTarius Looks amazing! How did you find the plasticity workflow? I assume you used blender before, how do the 2 compare?

Test render! Made with #plasticity3d, Affinity Designer, Substance Painter and Blender. Recommend viewing in full size!

A little more in depth practice making a red dot sight and a look behind the scenes. Used @rileybrown3d’s lighting tips and am loving the results! #Blender3d #SubstancePainter

WIP weapon modeling in Blender. Looking forward to getting this into Substance Painter soon! #Blender3d

Starting a new project with some tricker surfaces than usual, really pleased with the progress so far!
