Portfolio

Mossy Bark PBR Material

● Mossy Bark 4K PBR Material. ● Made with Substance Designer, Substance Sampler, rendered in Marmoset Toolbag.

Tree trunk sculpt

● Tree trunk sculpting practice in Zbrush. ● HP 1.3mil polycount and 14k in LP model.

Spruce Tree Set

● Set of spruce tree assets created for modern real time environments. ● This work reflects my approach to environment asset creation, balancing visual fidelity, optimization and natural variation. ● Each tree is built with a complete LOD pipeline including LOD0, LOD1, LOD2 + billboard. Large assets range around 30 to 40k tris at LOD0 and are efficiently optimized for scalable performance. ● The set includes a diverse range of spruce tree variations: mature spruce trees with realistic form and canopy density, damaged trees with trunk deformation, younger growth stages, organically asymmetrical silhouettes.
