    Sci-fi Turret - 3D Game Art
    For this piece I created a sci-fi turret as part of an art test, started by creating a simple blockout in order to get the overall silhouette and primary shapes to later move on to to the high poly model in which I added all the secondary and tertiary details to finally move on to the baking and texture painting step in which I baked about seven different maps from the high poly model onto a low poly model using both Marmoset and Substance Painter. Final render made in UE5. The model consists of two 2K texture sets. HIGHLY IMPORTANT NOTE: I did not do the concept art I just added it to showcase the evolution and process of creating the final asset. 3D designer…

    Untamed Isles - MMO RPG Mountain Biome
    This level was part of Untamed Isles, an MMORPG monster-taming game similar to Pokémon but with a unique twist. The game allowed players (with or without a digital wallet) to own their creatures and maintain a record of ownership via blockchain integration. I was responsible for the creation of the mountain biome. For the mountain biome, I designed a maze-inspired space with multiple diverging and converging pathways leading to a single end point. In between the various pathways, I strategically placed "monster grass" areas and "minigame runes". The "monster grass" consisted of tall grass where the player would face random encounters. The "minigame runes" triggered mechanics with a set radius of influence; for instance, the bug-catching minigame would only spawn bugs within the radius of that specific runestone. The end point, where all paths converged, was also the highest point of the island, rewarding players with a panoramic view of the world. Given that the mountain biome was a high-difficulty area, tough combat NPCs roamed the pathways constantly. To create a more challenging environment, I added larger patches of monster grass and large rock features. These rocks blocked lines of sight, causing enemies to appear suddenly and unexpectedly. The terrain itself was sloped, revealing more of the level only as the player ascended. To balance this tension, multiple minigame runes were added, allowing players to have fun catching bugs and collecting fruit. These activities allowed players to "breathe" for a moment before returning to the harsh environment. Upon reaching the summit, players were rewarded with a treasure chest. As mentioned earlier, the view of the entire island served as a final reward, giving players a sense of accomplishment for conquering the mountains. 3D…
