SplashDamage’s 2012 Environment Art Test

Shane — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:56:03 +0000

This is my try at the 2012 Environment Art Test from SplashDamage.

http://www.splashdamage.com/envarttest

The specs for the test were pretty open. My model came in just over 6.4k triangles. I used 4 1024×1024 textures for the two buildings (diffuse, specular, and normals) and 3 512×512 textures for the rest. There is also 1 1024×1024 lightmap being used by the scene.

Click on the Image to view the model in realtime with the Unity3D webplayer.

Gameloft Art Test

This is an art test (based on provided concept art) I took for Gameloft Montreal. I wasn’t selected for the position, but I liked the way this turned out anyway. This scene has about 4k triangles and it utilizes one 512×512 map for diffuse and alpha, one 512×512 for specular, and one 512×512 for a lightmap.

Cookies

This was a personal image I created to practice materials. It’s based on a photo I found on Pinterest. The cookie material is entirely procedural. The key light in this image is behind the subject, which is not something I normally do, but I liked the result.

Cup of Tea

This was a personal project to practice my lighting. It’s based off a photo I saw on Pinterest. I usually light with a warm key light and cool shadows but I wanted to mix it up with this image and invert that.

Park Real-Time Assets

Shane — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:01:13 +0000

This was a personal project. I was attempting to create some real-time assets that had a less photo-real and more illustrative style. This scene has about 5,200 triangles if you don’t count the brick ring surrounding the park.

TalesByMe! Character Design

Shane — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:33:40 +0000

These are characters I designed that are featured in my kids app for the Nook Color/Tablet called TalesByMe! The app allows children to create their own story books by choosing back grounds, then adding characters, props, and text. Their story books can have as many pages as they like and are stored on a shelf in the main screen of the app so they can be read again later.
