Here’s a character that I’ve been working on outside of freelance work. The point was just to do a little creature for fun that involved a lot of organic texturing details that I don’t normally get to do professionally. I…
This is a texture breakup filter I made for Substance Painter, built efficiently in Substance Designer to stay as lightweight as possible. It acts non-linearly over the input mask, therefore giving a more organic feel and restricting the breakup towards…
I wrote this txconvert.py utility to help with batch conversion of .tx files without needing to use Arnold’s TX Manager. Also, if working with HtoA, there is no equivalent, making dealing with the status of .tx files difficult. This is…
Here is a 3D Oil Noise Generator I made for Substance Painter, inspired by the one available in Mari. It’s a very useful noise that can be used to help create some organic base effects or some simple breakups. Free…
Here is a simple Grade filter for Substance Painter modeled after the Nuke node. It has controls for lift, gamma, gain, tint for each, and is linear. I found the built-in offerings for color correction to be either overcomplicated or…
Here is a quick portrait project I did for the season. Modeling: Maya/Zbrush Texturing: Mari Groom: XGen Render: Renderman
Here is a small still-life I did on-off for about four days. It’s not perfect, but I think it still came out pretty good. I faced some interesting challenges, some unexpected: Maya / Mari / Houdini (Arnold). The seeds were…
Fun one week long project. Nothing too complex. Used a couple softwares/workflows I haven’t touched in a bit — XGen, doing final lookdev/lighting in Maya, and using Renderman. It was a good exercise. The topology is a mess as it’s…
Terria is a character I’ve been noodling at on and off for about a year now.
Happy to share this 3D portrait I did of one of our cats, Luna! I used this opportunity to practice and learn Houdini grooming techniques in a more limited capacity. The materials are pretty simple so they were textured in…
