Mech Arm - Switching Gears

I've been doing a lot of  historical props lately and I thought I would change things up by doing a gritty futuristic mech gattling gun arm. Almost finished with the high poly.

Roman Armor - Companion to the Sword

It's the final countdown and I'm ramping things up for a final push. I've been working on a couple things here and there. One of which is this suite of armor. It was modeled in Blender and Textured in Photoshop and Quixel. It's almost done and this is the second iteration of it based on feedback.

One I fix my issue and dial in the materials this asset will be done and ready to show Wednesday,

Gladius - Started Scabbered High Poly

Hey everyone, just a quick update here. I started doing the high poly of the scabbard and sculpted in some details. I'm going to use the same materials already created in engine for the sword so once I get to the point of baking high poly down to low poly it should be all down hill from there.

Siege Tower - Building Materials In Unreal 4

I've been working on building the materials for the tower out in a single texture in Marmoset but I've now backtracked a bit to set things up in Unreal 4. The advantages are that I can build a more robust material network in Unreal and its already in game. These were all taken in Unreal 4.
