A bit of a short one this time, I was busy with story writing, freelance work, reference gathering and job hunting. So there isn’t much work I can share publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a few materials : generic and trampled snow, and rock pavement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On their own they aren’t that much, especially the featureless snow. But the intention is to adjust and mix them in the engine to create more interesting materials<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While making this, I also took the chance to make a generic substance designer setup to add wetness to existing materials, by leveraging existing materials (AO, Normal, and Height, if available) and adjusting the parameters accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And finally I started editing the story draft and adding more details (side quests and more characters, detailed alternative endings…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a portfolio review from BeyondExtent, and I am planning on addressing the feedback given. It’s mostly about making the breakdowns more organized\/separate, and removing old artworks that are not strictly relevant to 3D props and environments. I’ll take care of that slowly in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s all. Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you again next time!
