Learning Topology

I'm learning all about the magical world of topology!

This is using the Quad Draw function in Maya. While the topology may not be the best... it's a start! The eyes are kinda BSed because I'm going to have a mask that covers up his eyes/ears. I'm probably going to go in an optimize whats there anyways.

The head will eventually be baked down with my high-poly sculpt.

Handpainted Floor

Here is a tile-able texture I made a while ago for an environment.

It was tedious... but incredibly relaxing!

One day I will achieve the ability of Diablo 3's environment art team!

So here are some more screens from Diablo 3 as a filler in the meanwhile~

LOOK AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL FLOORS.

Lightning

I'm going to be making lightning for my level with similar hit effect as some of the strikes in this video:

Heres a tutorial I found that could come in handy...

Character Process also... DIABLO 3 ROS

Here is my character before he goes through Crit.

Just some progress.

Now for the fun part...

Here are a few screens from D3 RoS from Blizzard Entertainment.

LETS LOOK AT THOSE VFX AND SEE HOW PRETTY THINGS ARE.

Anatomy Practice

And here is something NOT related to 3D for once...

Some anatomy practice I did over the course of two days!

Blizzard Art Contest

Now that the contest is over... I can post this! '^'

This was my entry for the blizzard art contest. It was supposed to be from the Nexus in Coldarra.

These were my earlier concepts

Fire!! AHHHHH!

My first particle effect that doesn't look crappy!

And look! I made it blue to match my... well.. everything!

The inspiration came from Ahri's fire from League of Legends.

Particle Effect Highlights!

Okay...

I'm slowly becoming obsessed with particles. I'd just like to point out some of my favorite particles every designed... EVER.

Let's take a look at Syndra first...

Her orbs in particular are what get me. It's like she is conjuring dark matter.

Next up is her new water Skin's VFX:

How about THEM Particles?! I'm super excited about the release of this skin. The particles are so well done and layered nicely.

And finally... my favorite...

Take a look at Lissandra's Ultimate:

One day I hope to make particles look this good!

First Particle System

I present to you my first particle system!

FIIREEEEEEE.

I had some fun and made the middle one blue.

Modular Holographs

Here is a little progress of my upcoming Space-themed level!

I threw together some nodes in the UDK material editor and made some pretty nifty modular holographs. The shapes! The possibilities!

Small Environment

This is a small environment I did a little while ago.

The inspiration was a "dark shopkeeper" that would sell items to the player. He sells lemonade made out of souls!

Total time: 3 days
Programs used: UDK, Photoshop, Maya

Some face practice

Here is just a bit of practice of some faces!

Destructable Asset!

Destructable asset I made for programming! Composited in APEX Phys labs and brought into UDK.
