Its #PortfolioDay once again this one is filled with regret for me as I was planning on updating my portfolio last night with new props but I didnt get a chance to do it 😅

Im Tom a 3D artist from the UK looking for a full time or freelance in the games industry!

Today is a big day! Timesplitters Rewind is finally out 😀

I am so proud of what the Team and I have accomplished

I do not regret a single minute I spent contributing to this project over the last 2-3 years. Ive learned so much and met so many great devs because of it ♥️

This thing is a labyrinth of a model... you think the highpoly is done and then you find 4 more pieces to model 😅

Im calling it quits today cant wait to get it in zbrush and add 100 years of dent and dings!

Before I started this project I was really struggling to decide what my next prop would be.
I originally was thinking a Viking/Egyptian relic but whilst researching that I thought maybe a weapon like an axe? then proceeded to look up if many others have made one and found this👀

Made the classic mistake of trying to push through late at night Instead of just trying again in the morning. realised my hubris when I spent like 2 hours squinting at a mesh and I could not for the life of me figure out a pinch😅

A friend once explained using Ngons as "try to make the shape you want using the least amount of loops"

This hinge I just did would have taken me ages a 2 years ago as I would try to find a way to quad the corner and still keep the curvature

now I just delete the loops and let SubD work it out 😎

3D artists, show your wireframes

(These two are my favourite I love how much mileage I got out of a flat plane for the draws on the toolbox 😅)

There has been a few times so far with this highpoly where I have to try and work out which way something spins, attaches, etc and it normally ends in my scribbling on a screenshot till it makes sense 😅

Maybe Ill try rigging/animating for the first time with this? 🤔

I used to use a cube as my player scale but I never realised how useful it is to have the UE mannequin instead.

being able to see the size of a human hand or where a surface would meet a body is so helpful

Decided I want to make a 1800s letter press as my next prop while looking for ref I remembered having a convo with someone recently about a place that restore them near me.

So I rang them. 1 hour later Im at their workshop taking tons of ref pics 😅 honestly its one thing I really love about 3D art
