I created this model in Maya and handpainted the texture in Wafer on my iPad, no normal map or fancy material stuff. The model in sketchfab - skfb.ly/pKVQY Concept by Frederik Jeppesen: artstation.com/artwork/lDznK…. #Wafer #Maya #gameart #handpainted @sparseal

I modeled this sword in Maya, based on the excellent Chilled Sword concept by Arthur Malagon. I handpainted the texture in Substance Painter on my PC, and in Wafer on my iPad, no normal map or fancy material stuff. sketchfab.com/3d-models/chil… @sparseal #sword #gameart #wafer

Just turned 43. Realized I have been making games professionally or teaching how to make games for just about half my life. Back in my day we just made the bossiest person the CPU, and all day they would scream out draw calls.

Our GPU was a bunch of artists hunched over their easels frantically drawing whatever the CPU told them to. We didn't have keyboards, so we just banged rocks together.

Optimization was using thinner paper and only 64 colors of paint. We had to model low poly cause the artists had to draw each polygon by hand.

I am writing the rendering chapter in my book, just made some goofy renders in the Unreal Engine of my robot arm floating in the sky. We all need a little more floating robot arm in our lives. #MAYA #gameart #UnrealEngine

The first draft of my intro to game art textbook is getting closer to finished! The book shows how to create this robot arm in Maya and Substance Painter, then render it in Unreal Engine. I have been building the arm as I write the book. #Maya #gameart #Unreal #textbook
