As the year comes to a close, I'm looking back at some of my favorite projects. The 'Cosmic Careers' collaboration with the Astrobotic Foundation was a highlight. It was an honor to contribute to a project that will inspire the next generation of explorers. #3DArtist #GameArt #EdTech

We’re celebrating the 𝗙𝗮𝗯 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗠𝗲𝗴𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲 by offering 𝟯𝟬% 𝗢𝗙𝗙 our Fort Duquesne 3D asset pack. Built for Unreal Engine 5, this pack includes modular cabins, stylized textures, and the full star-shaped fortification.

One of my favorite memories from the Prominence project! To say thanks to the team, I adapted one of my in-game prop designs into a 3D-printed case for a Raspberry Pi. It even hosted a mini-website for the art department! #ProminenceGame #Prominence10th #RaspberryPi #GameArt #TBT #SciFi #B3D

Beyond the 2D concepts, I also did 3D modeling for Prominence, like this structure for Skyway. Fun fact: I was also a voice actor for one of the minor characters! It was my first time doing VO, and a ton of fun. Big thanks to the team for the opportunity!

A #ThrowbackThursday to some of the early concept art I created for Prominence. My job was to help define the look of environments like the Skyway, Data Archives, and various props. #ProminenceGame #Prominence10th #ConceptArt #GameArt #SciFi #EnvironmentDesign #IndieDev #B3D

It's the 10-year anniversary of the sci-fi adventure game Prominence! I'm so proud to have been part of this award-winning indie game. I worked as a concept designer, 3D modeler, and even voiced a minor character! A huge congrats to the whole team at DMW. It’s amazing to look back on this project.

New Lab Note is live! 🚀
I had a blast building the lunar environment for the Astrobotic Moonshot Museum, so I turned it into a small, playable demo.
Want to explore a futuristic 3D-printed moon base, crawl through dark lavatubes (don't forget your flashlight! 🔦), and find some "souped-up" rovers?

One of the most satisfying tasks of the 'Cosmic Careers' project was creating the curve-driven lava tubes. This required a custom-tooling approach to create non-destructive, UV-mapped geometry for the underground environments. #b3d #3DArt #GameDev #Unity

Fab's October Flash sale just started! Get 50% off my reconstruction of Fort Duquesne if that's your thing...

How do you prepare for a mission to the moon? It starts in a cleanroom. For the 'Cosmic Careers' interactive planetarium experience I developed the 'Cleanroom Kit,' a complete 3D environment. #GameDev #Unity #HDRP #B3D

Every great project starts with a vision. For the 'Cosmic Careers' project, I created a mood board to define the visual direction, drawing inspiration from real-world cleanrooms, lunar landscapes, and race cars: https://lyonritchie.com/case-studies/cosmic-careers.html

Just published a new case study: "Cosmic Careers from the Earth to the Moon"! 🚀 We partnered with the Astrobotic Foundation to create an interactive game for the Moonshot Museum's traveling planetarium. https://lyonritchie.com/case-studies/cosmic-careers.html #EdTech #STEM #planetarium #gamedev
