Computer graphics have been a passion of mine ever since I had a Commodore Vic 20 in the early eighty's.

Hey everybody, just sharing the work I've been doing on 3D modelling and Texturing for Unreal Engine assets. The model below was modelled from a Digital Tutors tutorial, but it stops at the model in it's smoothed preview mode, so I took it a few steps further and created a high poly and low poly model, baked the normal map, and then did some texturing in Substance Painter.
The first picture is the high poly model, and the second is the model in Unreal Engine with it's textures. The high poly model is 185,000 tris and the low poly that you see in the game is only 4,500 tris! Not too bad really, I don't think :)

I thought I'd start out this blog by talking about the software that I use and what my general uses are.
I use a variety of software, a lot of times in conjunction with one another. For instance I use Maya for creating 3D models, but I also use ZBrush to sculpt on thos models sometimes, and Photoshop is used for textures, but I also use Substance Designer and Painter a lot to work out textures, and recently I've started playing around with Houdini - which is a very cool and powerful program! Here's a list of all the software I use for multimedia, this is by no means a list of what I think are the best apps in the world, even though *I* might think they are that subject is debated heavily across the internet, this is just *my* list... :)
- Unreal Engine - Game Development
- Autodesk Maya - 3D Modelling, Animation
- ZBrush - Sculpting on 3D Models, detailing
- Houdini - Procedural 3D modelling, Animation, Special FX, Physics Simulations and FX
- Adobe After Effects - Video Special Effects and Compositing
- Adobe Premier - Non Linear Video Editing
- Adobe Photoshop - Image manipulation
- Substance Painter - 3D Model textures
- Adobe Illustrator - Vector Graphics / Logos
- Cakewalk Sonar - Multi track audio recording, mixing, and mastering
- Sony Soundforge - Audio editing
With this list I can pretty much do whatever I want - now *knowing* how to do what I want is a different story :) I use Digital Tutors a LOT - I'm a tutorial junkie...
