The curriculum is moving fast into new ground for me now; I'm so excited for the upcoming weeks!!
Here's some of my work so far:
This is a WIP matte painting - once extended and finished, it will be used as a skybox.
Staring at clouds is a hobby of mine, so this was a lot of fun! The lesson on skies and lighting was given by Jason Connell and he seriously knows his shit! I learnt so much from that one lesson, it was a real insight.
This was an exercise in efficient UV use - I modelled this (based on a concept by Darren Bartley) and wrangled the UVs to fit a tiling trim texture (which I think was by Patrick Hammond)
Same exercise as above (modelling and UVing to fit a texture) - this time using a modular texture from Guild Wars. These exercises were really useful in improving the way I can squeeze the most out of a texture.
Texturing exercise - model (and some awesome feedback) was provided by John Germann.
Some tiling textures (diffuse, normal, specular). Shown tiled twice.
