Stills from my recent project "Post Apocalyptic Short Cinematics", now live on my ArtStation 💡🧟 www.artstation.com/artwork/a03NKq #UE5 #Relight #Cinematics

Testing another shot but the walk is glitching randomly in the middle... why........ #ue5

Forgot to post the updated version of this #ue5

Testing out what to put in this shot #ue5

Trying to cook something cinematic #UE5 #Relight

I'm finally taking a professional lighting class 😅 Here's project 01, prompt was still-life. Of course have to reference my favorite era of still-life paintings ever! Baroque my beloved ❤️ Render is totally raw out of unreal 5.5, color grading in-engine post processing only. #UE5 #Relight

#Mayterials wrap-up post is now live on my ArtStation! Thanks to those who have followed along this month, I learned a TON and talk about my process in the post. Thanks to @theclubdiscord.bsky.social again for hosting! www.artstation.com/artwork/OvkN26

#Mayterials Day 29/30/31- "Tactical" The finale!! Tactical in a medieval sense, chainmail. 🗡️First one of the month that is using a metallic map as well. ArtStation post compiling the month and my process with corrected versions of the materials dropping soon, stay tuned!

#Mayterials Day 27/28 - "Crumbling" GF made coffee cake and muffins to chose from for this one, went with the muffins for the tray height difference. Ended up pretty time consuming to hand paint the spec map in addition to height. Looks yummy though!

#Mayterials Day 25/26 - "Sturdy" Log wall from Knott's, seems like its lived through a lot 😪 only two more to go!

Unreal Engine 5 one-shot compilation now live on my ArtStation! It includes these and a total of 15 renders, new and from old projects. #ue5 #lighting

#Mayterials Day 23/24 - "Filigree" Some Christmas ribbon that we had to dig out of the closet. Hand painted height map + Materialize normal map. Rendered in Marmoset like always!

#Mayterials Day 21/22 - "Weathered" Made my life more complicated than it needed to be with this one. A combo of 2 images referenced from the backyard layered to create weathered electrical box on bricks.

Some raw renders for tonight while I procrastinate my mayterial 😪 #ue5

Experimenting with some new color grading strats while looking into my back catalogue of sketches 🤔 new compilation with some "remasters" maybe incoming #ue5

#Mayterials Day 19/20 - "Alchemy" Every Alchemist has at least several trinket shelves! I assume... Hand painted height map and normal map from Materialize has been the go-to lately.

#Mayterials Day 17/18 - "Brushed" First time using alphas so far this month 👀 Lucky that I had an old clear un-scraped palette just waiting for this one!

Doom: The Dark Ages Cover art done for @gamestribune.bsky.social with the invaluable help from @bethesda.net! Hope you really like it! It was so metal to do it! :D #doom #doomthedarkages #coverart #illustration #art #idsoftware #xbox #playstation5

Still on the eternal battle versus my own first attempt at this mossy brick texture. First version is from unreal engine, second is another recent attempt in marmoset. More realistic height in the second one, but it loses some soul...

#Mayterials Day 14/16 - "Gloom" Hard to find "gloomy" textures about, decided to go with this door from Knott's Berry Farm (first one not sourced from within my property line) because it seems sufficiently haunted. A simple one to construct, mostly relies on a hand painted height map.

#Mayterials Day 13/14 - "Illuminated" Was in a bit of a rush for this one and was having trouble trying to find something "illuminated" around the house. Looked down as I was thinking only to see my fingers were on something that worked! First time using an emissive for the month so far.

#Mayterials Day 11/12 - "Ceramic" One of my favorite so far! Hand drawn height and spec map, baked simple normal modeled in blender, and an albedo based off an image of 4 tile coasters I have. Rendered in Marmoset like usual.

quote with red art ❤️

#Mayterials Day 9/10 - "Fortress" Probably the quickest one yet, no sculpt required! Was tough to find a material around the house that fit the theme, but I bet fortresses use stucco? 😅

#Mayterials Day 7/8 - "Scree" Probably my most time consuming one yet because of the sculpt being made up of a ton of separate rock meshes in Blender for the normal bake 😅

#Mayterials Day 5/6 - "Workshop" Same process as the last one, this is based on an image I took of a well-loved wooden surface. Photoshop> Materialize> Blender Sculpt pass> Photoshop> Marmoset Render. Realized I have been baking my previous materials with the wrong Y axis in blender though 😔

#Mayterials Day 3/4 - "Splattered" Once again based on an image I took from around the house, this time an old tarp. Made using Photoshop, Materialize, sculpted an additional normal map in Blender, and rendered in Marmoset 5.

Dissatisfied with the level of depth in the initial render, I went into blender and made a rough sculpt based off the diffuse, baked it to a normal map, and combined it with the original map in photoshop. Then got a free trial of Marmoset 5 to render. 🤪 still not perfect but we're getting there.

Decided to take a jab at #Mayterials only to discover that I no longer have access to substance 😅 Not to be deterred, I decided to try to make something using a photo taken from my house, photoshop, Materialize, and rendered in UE5. Mossy brick for day 1/2, Overgrown @theclubdiscord.bsky.social

Another sketch for tonight #ue5

sketching again #ue5

New set of (dark fantasy) relights on my ArtStation! All using real-time lumen Megalights. #UE5 #UnrealEngine #Relight

Still sketching, raw renders with megalights in #ue5

Sketching

A full set of Dark Fantasy inspired renders to test out 5.5 megalights plus a pack of sky boxes I splurged on All dynamic real-time lumen lights, tried out some new strategies with each one too 👀💡 #UE5 #Relight

Attempting another Dark Fantasy project, this time in 5.5 with megalights All real time dynamic lights and lumen for everything #UE5 #WIP

thinking about when I wanted to be an environment artist senior year…

one more sketch before bed 🤓 raw render from engine

another sketch for today

Sketching some overcast shots with real world values Using built-in UE5 sky atmosphere to achieve this rather than a custom skybox/ fog tools, mostly MIE adjustments

My finished relights based on the Baldur's Gate 3 loading screens 🕯️ I cant pick a favorite 🤔 Process and more on my artstation! #UE5 #BaldursGate3 #Relight

Today's progress on my #BaldursGate3 loading screen inspired lighting project! Managed to get down the basics of what I'm going for in each of these scenes today in terms of mood. Inspo pics in thread 🧵 #UE5 #relight

Been a while since I made a personal piece, but knew that I was contractually obligated to make something BG3 inspired after a nearly 300 hour playtime 😵‍💫 Here is the first doodle of a few pieces I plan on making inspired by some of the BG3 loading screens #UE5 #BaldursGate3

I have a little bit of range 👀 These are all pieces of mine! -Unreal Engine 5 relight -Diorama modeled, textured, rendered in Blender -Traditional acrylic self-portrait -illustration done in photoshop Not included is all my video work, pottery, etc!

okay guys finally caved and bought baulders gate 3, see y’all in a few months 🚶🏽‍♀️🧌🧙‍♀️
