I'm an ex-student working on my portfolio. I really should have done more while I was at uni, but hey thats life. I think the direction I am going for is environment artist, ergo the corpious amounts of environment objects that I will/post up.

And This Week I Did...

...even more.

Sci-fi Floor MkII

First up the the sci-fi floor that I knocked up quickly. I wanted to take it a whole step further. For the most part it was to get a good clean bake, from a much more detailed high poly model. And well after some reasonably quick texturing here is the end result. Not too bad if I say so myself, though I perhaps need to tone the green down a little.


Sci-fi Corridor

Next up is what I am currently working on which is a sci-fi corridor. Again this is taking it one step further than before. I am taking what I learned from the Sci-fi Floor MkII, and applying it on a larger scale. Currently I have the whole section modelled fully in the high poly, while I have made a good start on the low poly.

The High Poly section in all its glory.

The Low Poly power box, with normal and AO maps.

Finally the Low Poly floor (nothing more than a flat plain). Again with normal and AO maps on.


Well that's all for this time. I hope that by next time I can show you a fully textured corridor. I'm also going see if I can get round to changing my avatar. Needs to be something more me.

What I Have Been Up To

kinesis916 Blog

Well just what the title says just what have I been up to. Well loads really. Over the past week I haven't had a lot of time for modelling and texturing as I was too busy working on my website. Which can be found at: www.ryan-smith.co.uk. If you have any comments about it feel free to say anything, it will afterall likley be the first thing a prospective employer sees about me. Hopefully I should keep it up to date with the best of my work.

While I did say I hadn't had a lot of time for modelling and texturing I did manage to get a tileable floor done with a normal and diffuse map. I may well turn it into a much bigger piece with a wall and ceiling but time will tell.

Sci-Fi Floor

Next week I should be getting on to something brand new. It will either be a full corridor section, or a new gun from an awsome concept. We will see. Until next time.
