Hi everyone, I'm a newbie here on polycount and I wanted to share a little bit of my recent work with everyone, and would love to hear some feedback. Thank you!

Here are a couple of renders from my last UDK project I did for school.

AimBiZ · Dec 2013

That forest scene could really use some color in the shadows, and some secondary color in general. The green dominating along with the grey rocks makes the scene appear monochromatic. Even for the style the green is too strong I think. Play around more with color variation in the texture maps. You have that already on the log which is for the better.
Actually, introducing a secondary dirt texture for the ground would help immensely to sell the environment as a genuine forest. Grass will not be growing evenly everywhere and would make some nice transitions, like near the water.

Nice texture work otherwise. Wouldn't mind seeing the maps by themselves.

So today I got a lil bored and was listening to some Woody Guthrie and got inspired, hope you all enjoy.

Lil something I did this afternoon.

Frawmus · Feb 2014

Pretty great work, awesome texturing. Only comment I can really make (As I am not the best critique-er) is that your spec maps need a bit of work. I feel like the metal vs wood specularity doesn't change much at all on any of your works. IE the reflection on the baseball bat's ring shouldn't be the exact same reflection as the wood that is right next to it. There needs to be a good bit of difference, or even subtle if its well worn. But still a difference!

DeviatePanda · Feb 2014

Yeah specular maps are something I definitely need to work on. Thank you for your feedback! :]

DeviatePanda · Feb 2014

Here is an update on the baseball bat and the spec map if anyone is willing to give me some pointers, thank you.

DeviatePanda · Feb 2014

Today's project was Kiddo's Hatori Hanzo Sword from Kill Bill. Hope you all like it

DeviatePanda · Mar 2014

Finally found the time to complete my Sawed-Off Shotgun. Got inspired by some concept art from Fallout 3.

DeviatePanda · Jun 2014

Hi everyone, it has been awhile since I've updated this page. Since my last post, I graduated high school and also graduated from my 3D Animation/Game Design class at the East Valley Institute of Technology at the top of my class (Demo reel here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX7G2lNA5_Y)

Lately I have been working on a Lever Action Rifle based off of the Winchester Model 71. WIP pictures below, and feel free to leave critiques :]

DeviatePanda · Jun 2014

Quick 30 minute mock up of the Persona 5 teaser I did in a fit of boredom and fanboyism... that's a word now.

DeviatePanda · Jul 2014

Creativity has been at an all time low lately. Hoping to get something more original done by next weekend. In the meantime, here is another quick Persona scene I did.

really good modelling and texturing, I love it!

Thanks for the kind words WoRmTa1L

Here is a preview at one of the characters for a project I am working with a handful of friends. One 1024x1024 texture, 1,640 Polygons. Created in 3DSMax 2014 and CS6

DeviatePanda · Oct 2014

Hi everyone, been a super long time since I updated anything. Lately I have been busy with finding programmers and modelers for a little game project in UE4. So I thought I'd begin by posting some of my progress on the characters for our game. As of right now, I am working on character animations and I'm learning lots and am enjoying myself. Mostly that I need to remodel a couple of them to allow more fluid movement. All of our assets are hand painted by me, and most player models for now are under 2000 polys.

First off, here is the Wolf and his weapon

Next we have the Barbarian and his weapon

I still have more renders to create and upload so expect frequent updates

pmiller001 · Oct 2014

WoW nice work my friend! inspiring to say the least. I wish i could give you some pointers on specular maps, but i'm not too confident with them yet to be honest.
Your enviroments are particularly awesome. I like the look.
As for your other models, like the guns and such, do you do those textures yourself? or do you go and photograph them or?

Awesome stuff pal!

DeviatePanda · Oct 2014

Hi pmiller001, thank you for the kind words. To answer your question though, it is a little bit of both. If I have the time to go out and take pictures myself, I do, but most of it is just photosourced. I frequent cgtextures.com and mix and match some of their textures and then work on them in photoshop.

DeviatePanda · Nov 2014

Quick update here, reworking my Knight and am still working on the texture as you can see. Right now he is approximately 2500 polys, and is using a 1024 texture sheet.

Quick little asset I made using an old hand-painted texture sheet. Rendered out in Marmoset Toolbag 2.

DeviatePanda · Feb 2015

Here is my latest character that I am working on, kind of a rework on my original Bucket Knight design. Hoping to start unwrapping and texturing him by this weekend.

DeviatePanda · Feb 2015

So I changed up his texture design, but I am really liking where it is going so far.

DeviatePanda · Feb 2015

Pretty much finished texturing this guy, now to rig and animate him...

DeviatePanda · Feb 2015

Did some quick designs for a new character.

DeviatePanda · Feb 2015

So here is the design I went with for my next character. Hopefully I will have more to show for it in the coming weeks.

DeviatePanda · Feb 2015

Did a quick paint of my latest character just to get some color pallet ideas.

DeviatePanda · Mar 2015

Went ahead and drew out a second design for my next character. Maybe I will use them both, maybe not. Probably not.

LeeMeredith · Jul 2015

You have some awesome work! I love the skeleton and black and white guy. Keep on going, looking forward to more awesome characters.

These weapons look great. Can you show your texture flats? The texel density is not very uniform though, the hilt is quite a bit sharper than the blade.
