AWW that's so kind!! and such a lovely interpretation too, I adore warm soft sunlight so much. I appreciate your words so much too, thank you!!!! 😊

Wooden Mushroom Carving - Download Free 3D model by rjducats An afternoon project practising pipelines and trying to replicate a stylised wooden material quality. Sculpted in Zbrush, reptopology/UV unwrapping done in Maya, and textures created in Substance Pain...

Will post the sketchfab link in case anyone wants to gander! (the wood shaving material was supposed to tile correctly but I totally missed the giant seam lines)

A quick afternoon project! I'm in love with how wood carved objects look and wanted to give a go at making a blocky/chunky mushroom (though it does feel a bit like a bonsai). Left is an unreal render and I've shared some screenshots on the right from sketchfab ˙▿˙

Started working on a small scene to practice making materials, material blending, and making modular parts but totally lost steam 😭 I had planned to delve into decals and some foliage too but I might step back for now, either rethink the project or start a new one.

Aww thank you so much man!! I totally get that too, one of the bigger hurdles was planning the breakdown and battling unreal engine to get things looking right 😊I appreciate the kinds words!

I get people now are having a harder time distinguishing real from AI but man does it suck to see someone call genuine artists work AI. I really can't see there being a time where we can revert from this culture now too, generative AI has left a scar.

Been doing a lot of environments and props recently but finally snuck in some time before bed to do people sculpting ˘︶˘

I can understand that, it's getting difficult to discern some ai slop videos at a first glance too.

It's a heart breaking state for creatives to navigate against. I adore cosy aesthetics but I may have pushed those warm tones too much. I try to share wips and breakdowns, which hopefully helps^^ 😔

Oh... that's really disheartening to hear. I'm guessing it's because of the warm tones..? I absolutely despise LLMs and GenAi slop, there's no use of ai in my workflow from references to final renders. It's all made by me.

Thank you!!! 😊It takes so much time to get the right renders but it's also super rewarding seeing how the final renders come out

I've found that I'm thinking myself in circles about the renders and elements in here so it'll be a bit easier to get feedback now that it's all in a single page. My files are starting to become a mission to navigate 🐧

Finally publishing this project 😊Got in some beauty shots, a short panning video, some close ups of props and a few break downs sharing wireframes. www.artstation.com/artwork/NqQWZN

rendering and trying to compile everything to look nice has been such a huge time sink, also sifting through the wireframes, beauty shots, and additional pages but I think I've sorted most of it out now. should be able to wrap things up soooon

Unlit to lighting rendered view! Have spent some time filling in spaces with smaller clutter assets and updating textures. Aiming to set up some cameras for renders and prop close-ups so I can get some feedback on presentation 🌿

1872 triangle shelf! I have these little cylinder feet that take up like 640 triangles on their own 😩but I'm having a lot of fun slowly cluttering this scene! I created some variants of this shelf too since it's all floating objects, will share them later 😼

Made a chair today! I've got a warm light blasting in unreal so it's a lot warmer in engine, also seeing some spots that need attention on the chair (some areas catch the light weirdly). Progress feels slow but this coming week I'm gonna full send it 😤

no but literally!! I get this as well. I've drawn so many random characters in the past but never properly created an OC.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Delaney 💙

Makes me hungry, this looks so good!!

Needed some walls so now we have a little scene to show the props off in!! I'm still adjusting textures and redoing meshes on older props but messing around in unreal is always so fun.

Thank you!!

YES! absolutely adore how WoW goes about stylisation. The chunky bold shapes are such a treat on the eyes 😊

Spent some time earlier today making a wooden plank floor for my scene! I worked slightly differently when sculpting the forms but I'm glad it didn't mess up the tile of the wood. In-engine scene is quite warm but I'm digging how chunky and worn the planks came out.

Thank you!!! I'm a big fan of those subtle detail plus they help a bunch when I get to baking/texturing 😊

Aww I really appreciate that!! 💙😭

Thank you!! 😊I could stare at alariko's work endlessly so trying to translate it into 3d was so much fun

Couldn't help myself and added more scope to this rework project but it's been fun! Hoping this kitchen piece supports the smaller props and makes the overall project more interesting to look at. ✨
