Not a day goes by where I don't think about this cabinet we found at a home removals place in cornwall earlier this year..

The walnut bur ovals framing the veneer flower art is unbelievably nice. It was only £195 but I had £0 in my account and we were 7 hours from home 😭

Y'know after finding out I had a vitamin D deficiency and buying one those fancy lighting up alarm clocks last year I really thought Id have a better time mentally when the season changes this year

But can confirm thats a hard no it hit like a fucking train...

The compressor is finally in.

I feel its coming together but something feels a little off for me but I dont know what...I think maybe the composition is off and its really not selling the scale/making it look sparse?

In hindsight I should have spent more time on comp and lighting in the blockout

This one was surprisingly tough to texture you'd think it just being made of a single material would make it easier but trying to get the metal to not only respond in the right way but also not look repetitive was harder than I thought 😅

I just played this, struggled in the first couple levels as I'm so used to the quake style air strafing so this setup felt odd but once I reached the levels where you unlock the bounce/ice portals the game really clicked and it felt S M O O T H

Excited to see more! also love the artstyle 👌❤️

First 3 hours of texturing done! mostly just setting up custom base materials, making grunge passes and adding height like welds and knurling.

Hoping to finish it off with some more specific hand place/drawn details

If you're ever worried about the game foliage you made looking too polygonal or too symmetrical you can take solace in this flower my partner and I found at gardens this week 😅

Finished my UVs and bake this morning before work.

Ended up having to add some extra supports on some of the cylinder just for the bake but its now 3.8k tris!

The poor little hard working abused trolley is done! Now it just needs some environmental storytelling bits that I'm planning to pile on it!

Said props are hopefully going to be a really fun modeling challenge cause of their weird shape 🤞
