Current progress

Using outputs from Gaea I can project high res landscape normals on a low res landscape!

Blocking out a new environment with this stone material.

I finished this project 10 years ago today. This was my first crack at hand painted textures with PBR rendering in Marmoset Toolbag 2. This one helped me get into Blizzard.

And some tesselation.

My new rock material is done! Here are some different seed variants. More on my Artstation: www.artstation.com/artwork/5W3YEP

The heightmap in action.

My next material is entirely procedural, so I can keep messing with the seed for variations.

I love Nomad sculpt because I was able to start this project on my couch on my old iPad. Moving it over to Desktop. WIP. #NomadSculpt

I took a couple vacations since getting laid off and now it's time to start the job hunt in earnest. I am looking for fulltime work as a Senior Environment Artist for a game team. I do materials, modeling, lighting, set dressing, etc. My portfolio can be found here: lungjaw.com

Dropped the ball. 😩

A ball of cursed coins, or what I'd like my salary to be at my next job. Made in #SubstaceDesigner

I got to play a friend's 110 year old piano at her even older house in Scotland.

Evening tunes.

Refined the node stack that generates a heightmap from my painted wood plank texture. Enjoy this wooden pea.

Some diffuse only variations of the guy from my profile pic. Painted in Substance Painter.

A quick experiment in Substance Designer. Creating displacement for one of my hand painted textures.

Digging through my old work. I made a hand painted model of the Temple Run app icon many years ago. I didn't work on the game, I just really liked the icon and wanted to paint some gold.

The graph.

A mossy bark material I made in Substance Designer this weekend. #substancedesigner

More path tracing in Designer's viewport. Wood, so to speak.

Messing with Substance Designer's new Path Tracer with my rock material.

Some simple bricks. Made while hunched over my laptop.

Dirtball.

Dirt!

Sandstone, with much help from @phrisk.bsky.social!

Some plankies.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Ya boy is unemployed!

Today is my birthday! I just got laid off! 😆🎉 Anyway here is my work. lungjaw.com

WIP. An anti air fella

Heroes of the Storm is 10 years old today! I started one year later as an Associate Environment Artist. My first assignment was to redesign the "King's Crest" healing fountain to be more in-line with the game's final art style.

We had a Heroes of the Storm dev team 10 year reunion! It was really nice to see my old team, and yes it really does take this many people (and more) to make HotS.

The wood details on this are mostly hand painted height layers and sculpted cracks and planes. I'm using a little anisotropic noise for the grain effect.

My Sweeney Todd bust is now up on Artstation. Check out all the woody details in very high resolution here: www.artstation.com/artwork/NqzwKJ

A render of my Sweeney Todd bust sculpt in Marmoset. Fully textured one coming soon!

Something I continue to experiment with in my projects is the Plasticity to game engine pipeline. I really love Plasticity for fast hard surface modeling.

I take screenshots all the time when I'm working. It really keeps me motivated to keep pushing a project forward. www.artstation.com/artwork/vbR5Ba #UnrealEngine #UE5

My latest project in Unreal 5 is now up on Artstation! You can check out the breakdowns and hi-res images here. www.artstation.com/artwork/vbR5Ba

Me when I get to start texturing.

Adding a little dust 🤧

DO NOT drink the Outlook water at night.

Reckon it's almost my bedtime, pardner. #wip #UE5

#potfolioday. I'm a 3D Artist at Blizzard. I work on Warcraft Rumble for iOS and Android and do stuff in Unreal in my free time.

More work on this. #UE5

Blocking out another hard surface project in #UE5

Just got home from GDC.
