Years and years later, in the end Xnormal Still Saves the day when everything is almost hopeless.

Something weird has been happening on my normal maps when i use "Export Mesh Maps" in Substance Painter, And it's something that i've observed for a while but never been able to figure out why, i can clearly see that there's padding but also the black line around it is what puzzles me.

Rigging is finally complete! Might need some adjustments, but i think it's good enough just for posing during the renders, now it's time for texturing and lookdev! #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

"There's too much sun!" I'm Skinning the shoulders and elbow right now, it's one of the toughest parts to do in the whole process. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

Rigging is still ongoing and i already have the hair and knees in an okay state for posing, Skinning is really daunting most of the times. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

Finally Started rigging and skinning Zero, been doing some extreme poses on the hair to see how it fares, things are still really early in development but i'm loving where it's going so far. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

I'm really happy to announce that i've got myself into the Rookie Awards! www.therookies.co/entries/45510 #gameart #art #GameDev #3DArt #3D #CG #fanart #RookieAwards2026

Bluesky was down yesterday so i couldn't post my latest progress on Zero, but he's basically done! The last part which was the hair and eyelashes were completed, now i just need to texture, shade and make his rig for posing. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

Well, i think i'm finished with this hair, took a while to get something going and i was really worried about my approach but i think this is fine for now, here's a comparisson: left side is today while right side is from 7 years ago. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

After some problems with the normals i decided to switch to hair cards, still making a lot of tests so it's really raw and looks kinda samey(more so because of me putting everything in the same 4 strands on the UVs just to prototype). #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

Started building up the hair and i'm doing some tests not bad at all in my opinion, i just need to make this feel less like bananas and more like actual hair, i'm hoping that some vertex colors will do the trick. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

More Hair tests! this time i think it's closer to what I want, really hope it fits the final character. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

Google has became unusable for me, the search is horrible with terrible results, lots of AI overview in everything and also auto translating pages(with wrong translations) when i'm basically proficient in english and there's no way around disabling it, this makes me mad.

After baking i`m finally ready to start doing more resarch on the hair, i`m still not really sure of how i should do it and I`m kinda debating if i should move foward with this tube like hair and hair cards hybrid or go full cards. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

Finally I'm baking all the texture sets! been long road and there's still ways to go but texturing is almost here! #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #WIP #MapBaking

These days even studying for something is really horrible, the amount of AI used in text is just so horrendous that it just left me feeling like i'm becoming less intelligent than i was before reading it. The worst thing is when most of these materials come from a entity of your own government.

I Think I'm finally Done with retopology, took more time than i imagined as i had to adress his problems from 2019, now the only thing left is his hair which is gonna be a totally different beast. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #WIP #Retopology

No dev or artist gets a chance to be seen or show what they have been working on without others sharing posts. It makes a difference and can lead to them finding work, selling prints and getting wish listed for games and it’s not much but it’s better then doing nothing and dose support them.

I've been doing some Xgen work for testing stuff and i don't know why it happens but when i get really close to the description while tweaking some parameters it just disappears, really strange bug(I'm using Xgen Core this time by the way)

Recently, I started to experiment on small projects because sometimes i feel kinda lost in a project but i found out this is helping me, so as a tip for beginners: Do some sidequests first before doing main story or the boss will destroy you ;) 1/3 #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

I'm slowly starting to dip my toe into the Metahuman workflow, this might help me make characters quicker, I just want to explore this a bit and see where it leads for now. The thing is: Custom characters are great but starting from zero everytime is kinda tiresome.

It's been quite fun and somewhat kinda challenging doing this, but at least now i have a Mastermesh that i can just use on any of my characters, here's the final result in Unreal: #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

Recently i paused Zero's retopo to rest my head a bit on big projects, so i started doing small projects for study and i've been doing a teeth Study, my sister is a dentist and got a mold of her teeth which i used as reference. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #3D #CG #WIP

one of my greatest gripes with jujutsu kaisen is how they try to explain everything to you, every detail even down to the powers of the characters, everytime they do it just ends up being a big convoluted mess.(1/2)

Still Deciding on the UV Layout but i hope this is good enough and has enough res to work with(still need to do some test bakes though). At this point, Most of the base model is basically complete. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #WIP #Retopology

It's been a while since i shared a WIP shot but retopo has been a steady mountain climb and lots of things had to be revised, right now I've just finished the hands and i really hope it bakes well. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #WIP #Retopology

Just saw that Xing Zhilei, the Chinese DIY influencer, posted an update on his self-built cat town which went viral last year. youtu.be/i1savUPr-yU

This is so friggin' cool!

Today i was fired from my dayjob, i'm really happy about that because it was insufferable, I could of course pay my bills with it but that was the only reason i stayed there because it was so shitty that i couldn't stand it anymore, i was sleep deprived and also constatly tired.

I Know it's kinda overkill this amount of polys for a body(especially for this type of artwork) but i really want this to deform well. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #WIP #Retopology

Still working on Retopo but the helmet is complete, For the body: I Decided to up the resolution of certain parts a bit more for the skinning. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #WIP #Retopology

This project has been behind schedule a bit for me for dayjob reasons but retopology has been going really well, the selected one is the new one and the unselected is the old one, hope it bakes really well. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #WIP

I'm looking over Zero's original files and i'm seeing a million things i could've done better on the lowpoly, I've received feedback on him once too and i really want to apply it now that i have the chance. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #WIP

And that's it! Tertiary details are finally done, depending on how this bakes and how the SSS softens the detail i might have to go back to tweak it. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #Zbrush #Sculpting #3DSculpting #TertiaryDetails #SkinPores

Another Zero WIP! This is kinda overkill for a stylized character but the original had it, i just hope the SSS smooths it out in the end. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #Zbrush #Sculpting #3DSculpting #TertiaryDetails #SkinPores

Hello friends! I've been a bit quiet recently about projects and things like that but i've been doing a revamp on some of my old art alredy posted on my artstation, starting with Zero #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #MegamanZero #Megaman #ロックマンゼロ #ロックマン #3D #CG #Zbrush #Sculpting #3DSculpting

It's really crazy to think that until not long ago Zbrush didn't have a way for you to orient yourself in the scene, imagine sculpting a whole model just to see that it was facing back or upside down when imported into Maya or other DCC, lots of headache at the time but it was funny thinking back

It's kinda strange these days but i find myself using less and less masking when sculpting organic things in zbrush, i started pondering the reason and maybe it was because when i was learning, i was trying to nail down and mirror someone else's process, but either it matured or i found my own. 1/2

This started out as a wall texture, but now it's a gun! #gameart #lowpoly #blender

Happy new year my Gamedev friends! Hope everyone has a fantastic next year and that I can share double the amount of artwork in the highest quality possible with you all! And also take really good care of yourselves :)

I Haven't been sleeping well in weeks having to juggle work and also other life things and also finishing my artworks, but the holidays have been good because i finally got to sleep a lot and play Final Fantasy XVI as my holiday game for the first time.

And There he is! I Hope everyone likes it! Visit the link to see him: www.artstation.com/artwork/a0kzR9 And Don't forget to like it on Artstation and share it! #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #ロックマンX #ロックマン #MegamanX #MegaMan #3D #CG #Rendering #Artstation @protodude.bsky.social

After a long while, i'll finally be able to share the final version of X, thanks to everyone who accompanied me on this journey. When the time comes View it here: www.artstation.com/luckydeath21 #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #ロックマンX #ロックマン #MegamanX #MegaMan #3D #CG #Rendering #Artstation

Please, donate if you can to help Natalie! she needs it more than ever, The health system in the US is really messed up compared to BR and other places and it just destroys lives of people with chronic illnesses, it really sucks that these medications and consultations are not free.

No WIP screenshots today but the news is that my Megaman X project is done, all the raw renders were made and now the only thing left is editing and posting, hope everyone likes it when i'm done! :)

Megaman Dual Override was announced! I could not be more happier! meanwhile i'm almost finished, still a bit crude but this is just a test render. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #ロックマンX #ロックマン #MegamanX #MegaMan #3D #CG #Substance3D #Texturing #Marmoset #Lookdev #Rendering #Lighting #WIP

Twitter doesn't show my fellow gamedev friends in my timeline anymore :/ I really wish i had the same timeline i had like 3-4 years ago there where the only things i was seeing were many amazing artists and devs working on personal and professional stuff and also interacting with the community.

Finally getting to the end of the pipeline after a long time! just need some adjustments. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #ロックマンX #ロックマン #MegamanX #MegaMan #3D #CG #Substance3D #Texturing #Marmoset #Lookdev

The good news is that texturing is basically 100% complete! tweaking the shaders and making some adjustments are the only things left, then we go to posing, lighting and rendering. #gameart #art #GameDev #fanart #3DArt #ロックマンX #ロックマン #3D #CG #Substance3D #Texturing #Marmoset #Lookdev
