I Want to Be a 3D Game Artist

Trees! I threw some in with the house to get a sense of what they will look like together.

Added some Gryphon nests on the roof of the building.

I felt the goggles were necessary for my goal and I regret nothing.

Working on blocking in the terrain and the giant gryphon head sculpture.

More work on the houses. Here is how they are looking in UDK. Just a bit more to redo and I can move on to making new things other than the houses.

New textures for the roof are done!

Updates. :O

Created a water/waterfall shader. Looks a bunch better in motion.

Rendered in UDK.

Finally after 2 days of research and a day of building I have something to show. Now that I have a general idea of how to go about making these things, I’m going to start from scratch a remake it. I did a couple things wrong so I need to redo it the right way.

Special thanks to Javier who gave me some help when I needed it. If you aren’t already following him you should cause he is awesome!

If you ever find yourself in need of making your own tree, check out these links, I found them very helpful. :D
