The blowtorch project is finished. I would really appreciate it if you check out the full project on my Artstation: www.artstation.com/artwork/AZdK4y

Hope you like it!

I'm alive and it's day 39 of classes 😅

I'm creating a portfolio piece, it's an old blowtorch from the 1920s, and I've finished with the high poly for now and working on the low!

#maya #3d #3dart #highpoly #modeling

I'm back and it's day 19 of classes 🙂

I learned the basics of Unreal Engine 5 and created this small scene with my barrel model to practice lighting and rendering.

I think it looks pretty good 💪

#3d #3dart #unrealengine #ue5 #render

Day 15. This is as far as I got with the rock but I doubt that I will have more time to spend on it. Next week we'll learn a bit about unreal engine and rendering so I might not have something to show every day 🙂

#3d #3dart #3dsculpting #zbrush

Day 14: WIP while I struggle to sculpt a bit of a more realistic rock with Zbrush 😅

#3d #3dart #3dsculpt #zbrush

Day 13 of classes.

Still experimenting with Zbrush not so successfully. But I made a lowpoly of the runestone and baked it in Substance Painter.

#3d #3dart #3dmodel #zbrush #substancepainter #lowpoly

Day 12 🍁

Well that pixelated rock from yesterday turned into a stylized runestone!

Looks kind of washed out but hey man #Zbrush is hard to get the hang of.

#3d #3dart #3dmodel #3dsculpting

Day 11 of classes 🖌️

I worked with #Zbrush for the first time today. I'll be using a pressure pen but Zbrush is difficult to get used to for sure.

I'll be creating a runestone for class but so far I only have the blockout down, with crappy low resolution 😆

#3d #3dart #sculpting #lowpoly

Day 10 went by with mostly nothing to show for it but I did create this progression gif for my barrel materials.

#3d #3dart #texturing #substancepainter #maya #lowpoly

Day 9 and I'm done with the texturing. It's not perfect but I've tweaked it a lot and I think for my first ever try of creating materials from scratch it looks good enough!

#3d #3dart #3dmodel #texturing #substancepainter

Yesterday was a total bust so today counts as day 8 of class 😆

Still working on the barrel texture. Today I added a decal from the school on the top. Tried to make it look like it's branded into the wood 🤔

I also found some errors I'll have to fix tomorrow.

#3D #3Dart #substancepainter #texturing

Day 7 of classes. Created a metal material for the barrel hoops.

Not sure how realistic the rust turned out. In the second picture, you can see the material I made without rust (left) next to the premade one I used before (right).

#3d #3dart #texturing #substancepainter #3dmodel

Day 6 of classes, creating materials from scratch in Substance 3D Painter.

I created the wood texture on the left and compared it to the pre-made one I used before. I like it.

What do you think?

Thank you! 🥹

Day 5 of barrel project... or actually I'm just going to call it day 5 of classes 😆

Most of today was spent on creating this simple model but hey, I'm a noob 🥲

#3d #3dart #3dmodel #maya #lowpoly

Day 4 of barrel project: small side model - a crate!

All previous steps repeated on a simple crate model: Creating the high and low poly meshes and baking the details on the low poly (and a little test with pre-made materials).

#3d #3dart #3dmodeling #3dmodel #maya #substancepainter #lowpoly

I think it took around 9 hours! Every frame was rendering in about 1.5 minutes, but then I tried my next scene in Maya and with Maya's renderer I took like 12 minutes to render one image so I can't even imagine what an animation would take in Maya 💀

I just finished Little Nightmares 1 a couple of days ago! Really loved the mood and environment

Omg the cuteness 🥹

Day 3 of creating a #3D barrel for class.

Low poly mesh created today (2k tris as opposed to 200k high poly) and details baked onto it.

The materials are just a test with the default ones in Substance 3D Painter.

She reminded me of Jill from the original Resident Evil 3 🙂

So cute! I'm starting to realize kitchen scenes are my weakness

I'd suggest you Blender Guru's donut tutorial, that's what got me started

Day 2 of #3D modeling a barrel for class.

Today I did the high poly, with color ID for baking onto the low poly.

I would go for some more details if I had more time but as a beginner I'm working more slowly and just trying to absorb all the information and learn the software.

#3dart #3dmodeling

Day 1 of creating a #3D barrel for class.

For the high poly, the staves (planks) and hoops are created in a straight line to then be bent into a circular form.

Software: Autodesk #Maya 2026

#3dart #3dmodeling

Good luck! It's a great tutorial I followed it too :)

This is breathtaking

Thank you! Really appreciate it

This was my second #3Dart project and was fully done in Autodesk Maya. I followed Game Dev Academy's beginner tutorial for #Maya and I familiarized myself with the software in preparation for a bootcamp I'm starting!

Everything is modeled by me, but textures are downloaded from freePBR.

Thank you!
