Tower Crane

Here's a Tower Crane - one of my latest tasks for the mod we're working on. I made the whole thing walkabout which even includes Ladder volumes. As the mod we're working on is a racing game this will never get used to it's fullest.. 

Poly count and texture sheet (only displayed the Diffuse but it also has a Normal and Specular map)

Overdue update..

Here's a few screenshots of some assets I've been making for an indie studio.

Ambient occlusion looks horrible on these screens - probably something to do with the graphics card.

I'll make these renders more presentable (with texture sheets and stats) when I have some free time.

Rooftop environment - teaser

I have been quite busy lately as I have recently joined an indie team. This right now has most of my time but I am still working on my own projects every so often.

This is an art test from Blitz - I would like to give this more attention but it's a pretty big scale of a project so progress is slow.

Brougham Carriage - finished...

Okay so here is my finished (I say finished...) Brougham carriage! There's a few things I would like to work on but I don't want to spend too much time on each asset as I wouldn't be moving forward. I will definitely come back to this piece when I start a Medieval environment :D

Here's the carriage in the UDK mesh editor view.

UDK Material - I added a candle light effect for the lanterns of the carriage which you can see in the material diagram below.

And here's the 1024x1024 textures used. From left to right, Normal, Diffuse and Specular map.

Any room for a barrel?

I decided to make a wooden barrel to go along with the crate/pallet. This asset is using a 512x512 texture sheet and consists of 284 tris.

I've put all 3 assets together in UDK so you can get a glimpse of what it would look like in an actual environment. I used some vertex colouring on some of the assets to make them look slightly different.

Now to work on something bigger :D

Minor prop - wooden crate

So here's a little prop that I was working on today... took longer than expected when importing into UDK. 

Finished at 176 tris per crate with a 512x512 texture sheet.

I only made a Diffuse and Normal map - I used the Diffuse as the Spec which is cheaper and doesn't look too bad.
