Avoiding Unwrapping

Been incredibly busy this last week and a half. Meeting up with folks from Studio 343, havin' interviews with folks from Red 5. River Rafting on the Wenatchee with my family and lovely boyfriend. It's been fun!

This last week, I've been working on an FX Test for Red 5 Studios! It's a really cool studio way the hell in Orange County. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Excited, definitely. But torn, as well.

Anyway, I won't be posting the test or anything.

So here's something I was doing before I got the test.

All materials, all the time. Screw textures. Mostly screw unwrapping. If I don't have to, I will not unwrap.

Hello Shiny

I've been learning a lot about a different kind of process here at my internship. Turbosmooth and shiny and not all parts of the boat need to look like a boat. It's a bit different than the pipeline I'm used to... the whole "What's This For?" DigiPen process. The question still exists, but the answers are a lot more vague and malleable.

I'm starting to feel like I'm more of a work horse than I am a creative force to be reckoned with. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Maybe I just need to learn more about my own personal aesthetic and just make shit for the sake of cool-looking. Serving no particular purpose. So! With that in mind; Here's something shiny!



I made this in my free time at DK - though I haven't had a whole lot of it. I've been working on a project that I actually signed an NDA for! How exciting!

Happy Middle

Mmm. A real render.
