Launch of Art Exponent Store

Hi all,

I've been working for a while on preparing a few cool resources that may come in handy.

The store features:

  • Ultra high-res HDR environments for accurate lighting and  reflection on your models
  • Unique royalty-free reference imagery collections for photobash
  • 3D kitbash, resources and entire scenes 


..more is on the way.

Go take a look!

Grassy cliffs study

Little scene done with World Machine/Geoglyph, Zbrush and Photoshop


Tuesday, 4 August 2015

Updates, updates.

A few dioramas this time. Desert was just a random test with World Machine and Mudbox for texturing cliffs. The ship deck is a visual target for Hyperborea's walkable area.

More Landscapes

I wanted to give Terragen a shot and it turns out it's better and more sophisticated than I thought. Though Terragen -> game engine workflow is rather rough around the corners, it is possible. The two low res renders below come from a free version but something tells me I will pick up full one soon!

Terrain / clouds / atmosphere are fully procedural. Color and contrast adjustments in post.





Next one is a collection of random alien landscapes done just for pure fun and exploration.

World Machine and GeoGlyph mix: 










The last one is a mountain based on awesome tuts from Iri Shinsoj  - crazy talented terrain artist.

Hyperborea - 03 - Stormy stuff finally in motion!

Doing some progress on the vista but Borealis ship deck itself is still heavy Wip.

The clouds are mostly 2D planes with UV mods, panners etc. haven't tested it in Oculus yet. May turn out that flat planes won't give enough depth and I will have to sculpt the major cloud shapes in 3D as initially planned.

Ocean motion is propelled by a vertex shader with a little help of tessellation (minor waves and global noise). Rest is UV mods and panners as well.
