    uniE621 Lisbon
    I chose to go with the "Miradouro de Santa Luzia" for its view of the Tagus river and its reminder of Portugal's nautical heritage. To accompany this, the Azulejos, as well as the cittern guitar, are a reference to Portugal's artistic embodiment. __________________________________________________ Everything here was modeled by myself and is rendered in real time inside the Unreal Engine 5, utilizing Lumen. All assets were modeled inside Blender with the exception of the foliage which I used SpeedTree to create. I used ZBrush to sculpt the wood for the trellis, cittern guitar, brick material, as well as the limestone tiles, tables, seats, and pillars. All textures were made or edited using Photoshop, Substance Painter and Designer. The bougainvillea's leaves and flowers were photo scanned by myself, using the leaves and flowers from my parent's backyard. The bark texture of the bougainvillea was taken and later edited from Textures.com; the leaves of the potted plants, Aspidistra Elatior, were taken and later edited from Substance Source. I used a trimsheet material to create the pattern design for the Azulejos tiles. The following designs of each tile was made using existing tiles from the "Miradouro de Santa Luzia" and nearby viewpoints. #3D #Gameart #Artwork #Blender #UnrealEngine #Zbrush #SubstancePainter

    uniE621 Alidade Telescope
    The Alidade Telescope was made using Blender, Marmoset Toolbag, Photoshop, Substance Designer, and Substance Painter. I first modeled the telescope in low poly, UV unwrapped it, then duplicated it and made a high poly version of it. After, I duplicated both of them and blew up the parts for texture baking via Marmoset Toolbag. Following this, I went on Substance Designer to create the ridges near the compass, and the compass texture itself. Finally, I textured the model on Substance Painter. #3D #GameArt #3DDesigner #Blender #SubstancePainter
    uniE621 Pottery Collection
    Each of the following pots has three texture variations plain, engraved, and painted. After I finished the pottery set, I decided to create some broken pottery, just for fun. __________________________________________________ I started modeling in Blender, then sculpted details and engravings on zbrush, baked the textures on Marmoset Toolbag 4, created a base material in Substance Designer, finished the texturing in Substance Painter, and rendered it in Marmoset Toolbag 4. #3D #GameArt #Artwork #Blender #Zbrush #SubstancePainter #SubstanceDesigner

    Scan Data - This scan was done inside my studio. The scan was shot with a Canon T8i camera using a zoom lens at a focal length of 36. A total of 687 RAW photos was used to generate the model in Reality Capture. This project was done with a two chunk workflow. __________________________________________________ After the model was generated, Blender and Zbrush were used to clean up and unwrap the mesh. Marmoset Toolbag was used for baking textures and Substance Painter was used to enhance the textures, allowing the model to be rendered in PBR. #3D #Artwork #Blender #ZBrush #RealityCapture #Photogrammetry #SubstancePainter
