Hi #portfolioday !

I'm Abdou, a 3d artist and gamedev from Algeria.

I'm focusing on prop and hard surface modelling, but I also enjoy lighting, shaders and programming. I'm currently looking for a relevant position in the games industry.

Wireframe so far. I'm using floater decals for the seams and screws, since I'm going to bake those into a texture anyway

I started modelling the body parts and replacing the rough sculpts one by one

I'm testing a floater decals workflow with GeoNodes.
It does subdivision, shrinkwrap and normal transfer, with adjustable offset and width.
Making panels will be very easy and nondestructive this way

It was fun!
I found a few other glitches and softlocks and I have recordings of them if you are interested?

Abdou Bouam @abdoubouam.bsky.social · 6d

I went out of my way to break the game btw. It's actually very stable for a playtest

I like playtesting games because it's the only time where being an absolute psychopath is not only socially acceptable, but also funny

The game is Industria 2 @bleakmill.com
I really liked the gameplay and atmosphere, I can't wait to play more!

It's finally time for Skinktober!

What's that? No, I'm pretty sure it was never called anything else.
#art 🦢

a digital painting of a juvenile five-lined skink sitting on a decorative pumpkin. it is surrounded by vine and leaves. the lizard is striped lengthwise down its body in white and black, transitioning to a bright blue tail about halfway down. the colors have been very saturated, and the shapes are abstracted to be rigid angles.

For the artistic side of things, I remember watching this video a while ago, and it has a lot of great tips

A combination of custom shaders, smart normals manipulation, and of course a lot of artistic input.
You can get the lighting intensity in a post process material by dividing the "final render" with the diffuse color. Then use a threshold on that, and multiply it back with diffuse color. Link below

In this Unreal Engine 4 tutorial, you will learn how to use post process materials to create a cel shader.

Most of my work is realistic props and hard surface, but I also do stylized characters once in a blue moon. I'm of this one.

Thank you! I'm really into warm vibes lately. I bet my 2025 art summary will be considerably orange lol
