Often when I do a game jam, I have an idea for a shader or effect and make that game around the effect

A crate made of wooden slats stands behind a clay vessel in the shape of a long necked, square based bottle. It is painted in a mixture of yellows and reds. The remnants of a blue and cream coloured label are stuck to its side, torn at the perforation. At the base of the bottle rests a wooden stopper trimmed in a golden coloured metal with black painted lettering on the wood.

A collection of close-ups of the bottle on its own showing areas of detail such as minor imperfections in the paint edges and application. Small chips that have occurred in the clay as well as the overall design of the decoration. The wooden stopper is affixed into the opening by a parchment label that runs over the top. The label is designed to prove it is sealed when sold and the parchment is perforated to easily release the stopper.

The wooden crate is displayed from multiple angles to show its full design as well as an isolated shot of the stopper. Its inner area is divided by wooden planks into six spaces to fit bottles of varying types. On the short side there are openings to allow for easy handling and an inset area of parchment to mark the contents. On the long side there are large black letters painted across its center and a smaller square in the bottom right corner with red letters stamped inside it.

A recent gameplay addition to a #UE5 project required something to pick up, inspect and stack. So I decided to throw together a quick crate and clay 'bottle' to fit the need while also stretching the artistic muscles in the process. #b3d #substancepainter #gamedev #gameart #indiedev

For Unreal specifically I've been using Diversion and it's pretty frictionless, highly recommend.
For Unity I've gotten along decently well with GitHub.

A massive thank you to everyone who took part in the #GGJ26 this weekend and created so many incredible games! 🎮🎉
If you attended we'd love to see your pics!

Hey everyone!

It has been a while! Sharing yet another WIP:)

These are so nice! Super clean but with so much personality and flavour.

I've been getting a huge amount of use out of this add-on. Really recommend it.

The vast majority is also a single texture which, like much of my work, is laziness rebranded as skill.

It's a few years old now so some parts definitely make me wince, but I'm still pretty happy with how this scene came together. A rare example of me finishing a project.

Cheers!

Thanks so much!

But as much as I moan, I'm chuffed with how they turned out. It's nice to try and update the ol' portfolio more than once a decade.

I spent time last night on the drudgerous work of getting renders for my recent material work, something I'm normally pretty bad at getting done.

Wood Materials A wood material in Unreal Engine 5 with a number of variants. Created procedurally in Substance Designer with exposed masks and vertex paint parameters in UE5 to create material variations.

Threw together some wood material variants for a portfolio piece, proving definitively that the life of a 3D artist is non-stop rock and roll.

I recently announced Shutter Story but it went under the radar!

It's a horror game about revealing and categorizing signs of the paranormal in a family's photographs 📸

"The best pavement I've made so far" really isn't the sort of personal achievement I thought I'd be puffing my chest out over, but game development has a way of changing a man.
