3D Modelling

Hey thank y’all for the support either you are here for the 3D art or the gamedev, I don’t really have anything to say rather than I just post stuff more often in my twitter, because I’m saving Tumblr for longer posts that might come once things are more stable in my current game.

Hey there bois and gals. Just wanted to introduce you all to Rygg, the last character I’ve been making for 👉  StarsDie, Yorke’s game 👈 which you can also follow 👉  HERE. 👈

Hi there, this is what I’ve been working on in terms of art assets. This new environment is far from being finished but I can call “done” the basic part of it now that it’s filled with a bunch of assets.

Also I made a really neat shader to enrich the floor texture without using vertex paint, here is how it works.

So lately I’ve been coding a bunch of stuff mainly related to AI, the big guy with the drill was quite easy although is not completed but the little guy that flies around was a pain in the ass to make it able to fly on its own without using the navigation mesh, might make a post about it later.

I’m currently designing the first proper level of my game which is a cave with some weird minerals that will play an important role in the design of the level and I just wanted to talk about the basics of it.

The main idea is that the AI is acting in a loop, mining and delivering the goods and the player has to explore the area and figure how to get out of there and progress but for that you need an understanding of the level and AI routine and either fight them or get out by other means. If you decide to fight though, you don’t have weapons so you’ll have to manage to make the robots run out of energy, break them or push them to a place where they’ll get stuck.

Working slowly and at bursts on my game, Spellbreak (provisional title) and for the enemy design I’m building an elemental wheel which I might explore in another post. Thing is, my game will have robots. Sloppily made, about to break apart at any moment kind of robots.

These guys will be introduced in a cave area and they will be mining some resources and on detection they will attack you, but you still won’t have ways of inflicting damage directly so you’ll have to use some unconventional means to beat them, scrap them or make them run out of power.

Second character for Stars Die, I would hug him if he was my grandpa.

A while ago I posted some alien plants that I was doing for a project called Stars Die, check it out. Now I’m also working on its characters, this is the first one and I hope I can show you more as they get done and approved for the project  👌. Aiming for a PSX aesthetic.

EEEEEY BOIS AND GALS I made a bunch of people for other project I was only involved as artist and I just wanted to share them.

These are 29 characters made aimed to match PS2-like graphics, maybe a little bit higher resolution than that. They are at most 1500 tris with a 512 resolution texture but in most cases they have less tricount than that and have their head in other texture at 256 resolution. The first screenshots I’m showing are from substance painter which is why they don’t look very low-res but in-engine they look like the cultist guy in the third picture.

Anyway that’s it for now I might upload some to sketchfab to show it better but for the time being this will be all.

Me, a bad dev:

Arkane in Arx Fatalis (2002) a good dev:

A clip of me fooling around in my game.

I’m adding clay pots full of gunpowder because the next level is going to get lit as fuck.

One of the goals I have in mind is to make a heavy systemic game with all these things interacting together. And no, don’t mention Breath of the Wild, I KNOW THAT GAME EXISTS OK?? But I’m borrowing design patterns from other first person games such as System Shock and Dark Messiah.

Made a minecart for my game. It was a bit of a bitch to bake all the different parts but it turned out ok. Made using Zbrush and Substance Painter.
