Been a bit quiet on BlueSky recently.

I've recently finished my Retro-Futuristic trim sheet #material made procedurally in #substancedesigner. Renders and breakdowns can be found here! - www.artstation.com/artwork/qJXOyD.

I’ve recently gotten around to posting my updated biomechanical environment project to #TheRookies!
I’ve worked on the resolution of the textures, balancing the UVs of trims and fixing lighting.

I’ve recently participated in a #LOTR themed monthly challenge held by #FMA. I tasked myself with creating the Arkenstone on dwarven treasure.

Learnt a lot from this project! Using Subsurface Profile and properly using the Atlas Scatter node.

Happy #PortfolioDay !

I’m Benj from the UK and I’m a 3D material and environment artist graduating this June! I love working in Substance Designer and creating real-time environments in UE5.

For my final 3rd-Year uni project, I am making a game demo set on Mount Olympus. As one of the team's material artists, I've been creating natural materials like moss and rock alongside some trim sheets. Here are some wips!

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramic with gold. As part of a weekly challenge, I created a procedural Kintsugi material in #substancedesigner and rendered it in #ue5. I'm extremely pleased with how these turned out!

Here are some of the modular materials i’ve been making over the past week for a short horror game i’ve been developing with friends in #ue5🤘🏼👻

Thank you! 🙏

I made a stylistic herringbone floor material to try out #instaMAT Studio. It is effortless to use and includes so many features to explore. Rendered in Unreal Engine 5.

Something I found out yesterday. If you have multiple output sets in #SubstanceDesigner you set the `Group` Label and then select the group in the export window. Super useful :D

Sorry if you’re squeamish! Here’s a modular gore material i’ve been working on in #substancedesigner for my uni #VR team project recently. It’s been really fun to create horror assets during October 👻

Thank you! Your work looks awesome as well. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for anything you’ve made🤘🏼

Nest Wall - 'Alien' inspired material , Benj Carter After recently binging all the Alien franchise's films again and completing Creative Assembly's 'Alien: Isolation', I was inspired to create some Alien-inspired materials using Substance Designer and ...

Nice catch but no its not from anything official. Its from a Alien inspired material I made for a personal project - www.artstation.com/artwork/Gv8y4Q

Thank you very much! That’ll be extremely helpful 🙏
