Environment and Props

Racing Engine Inlet

I modeled this in Blender. Utilized mirroring some components for best optimal use for UV mapping within one texture sheet in 2K resolution. I baked high to low model textures and textured the model with PBR texturing workflow in Marmoset Toolbag 5. The lighting and rendering were also done in Marmoset Toolbag as well.
Crescent Wrench (Real-Time)

This becomes a handy tool from time to time. I modeled this with Blender then baked high-to-low textures and textured it with Marmoset Toolbag. I animated the mechanical animation in Blender. Albedo, Normal, Metallic, and Roughness maps
Wood Chisel (Real-Time)

You want to do some wood carving? I modeled this with Blender with weighted normals then textured it with Marmoset Toolbag. Albedo, Normal, Metallic, and Roughness maps
Beanstalk Ruin

While I was creating this environment piece, I explored more avenues to modeling in Blender such as geometry nodes and other techniques with modifiers. I used InstaMAT to create tilable textures, used Marmoset Toolbag to create foliage textures, and I also utilize Unreal Engine 5’s various features like creating blended layered materials, batch instances, vertex…
M14 Rifle

Inspired by Frederik Jeppesen’s concept art. I created a 3D version, added parts, and took a hybrid rendering in Unity (stylized / realistic). I used Blender for modeling, Marmoset Toolbag for baking and texturing. I also used InstaMAT for creating the camouflage for the rifle.

The Etool – Game Ready

I return to Unreal for showcasing this model. Made some of my own fabric materials in designer. I used some high poly mesh as floating normal decals for baking. I mirror UVs to use more texel density. I have encountered learning opportunities on normals display and bakes on the way so process will go smoothly…
Traditional Bow (Real-Time)

I enjoyed having some creativity freedom with working between optimization and great quality with this model. I learned some workflows that would be best suited for me specifically for the fur cards. I also enjoy pushing for accuracy of this bow which involved some interesting boolean operation on the handle. I added a marmoset viewer…
USMC Combat Boots (Real-Time)

A boot of a serviceman that needs to be put into action. I modeled the primary form in Maya then did the secondary form and other sculpt details in Zbrush. Textured in Substance Painter. Sketchfab link: https://skfb.ly/6V8RS
USMC KA-BAR (Real-Time)

You should know that it’s best to never engage a Marine in close-quarter combat. Especially, if they are using one of these. I modeled this from scratch and UV mapped it in Maya, then brought it into Substance Painter for texturing. I hope you like it.
Hazardous Operation

I had an interesting experience learning the difference of what you can do between Unity and Unreal Engine 4. I learned to import assets, setting up the scene, organizing workflow in Unity, configuring the rig for the character, and the workflow for lighting and post-processing. I also had fun learning outside of modeling with modifying…
