Ahoy Bluesky. To kick off my feed here's some of the art I made for Warhammer 40,000: BOLTGUN.

It's been a few months since we've released but I'm still wowed by the reception.

I'm so proud of what we were able to make as a team and I've never been more excited to keep making cool stuff.

The vast majority is also a single texture which, like much of my work, is laziness rebranded as skill.

It's a few years old now so some parts definitely make me wince, but I'm still pretty happy with how this scene came together. A rare example of me finishing a project.

Link to ArtStation on my profile if you've got a thing for high-resolution pictures of the most mundane surfaces known to man or beast

Joseph Beacham @sometimesjoseph.bsky.social · Aug 5

But as much as I moan, I'm chuffed with how they turned out. It's nice to try and update the ol' portfolio more than once a decade.

I spent time last night on the drudgerous work of getting renders for my recent material work, something I'm normally pretty bad at getting done.

Threw together some wood material variants for a portfolio piece, proving definitively that the life of a 3D artist is non-stop rock and roll.

Wood Materials

A wood material in Unreal Engine 5 with a number of variants. Created procedurally in Substance Designer with exposed masks and vertex paint parameters in UE5 to create material variations.

I’ve started a newsletter to note thoughts and musings on game development. For my first proper I am musing on the challenges of providing work experience placements for video game developers and also some possible solutions. exploringgamedevelopment.substack.com/p/the-challe... #gamedev #gaming

highly recommend @flownepp.bsky.social's custom nodes for Substance Designer, they make texture creation a blast
