In case anyone's interested, this is the process I'm using to generate normals for the painterly portfolio project I'm working on. This is in Substance Painter, but you could also do it in Photoshop or 3D Coat

I convert them to tangent space after the fact, but you could also do that in a shader

A screenshot of three 3D armored arms showing object space normals.

On the far left, labeled Base, is an arm with smooth color gradients.

In the middle, labeled Posterize, is the same arm with fewer colors in big bands.

On the right, labeled Smudge, is the posterized normal map with smudges to turn it into something that looks painted.

I take accessibility very seriously, so the colors in gameplay will be fully customizable, including presets for common types of color blindness.

I storyboarded a fan anime opening for my favorite childhood game, megaman legends /ロックマンDASH I wanted to animate the whole thing, but that’s way too much effort. Did it in a way where I can fulfill that childhood dream and move on. Maybe one day I'll form a MAP project out of this!

Welp, I've just found out that my role has been made redundant 🫠... So I will be looking for work!

If anyone is looking for a 2D/3D Generalist or Art Director for games (particularly specialising in stylised projects!) please shout! From concepts > modelling > animating thru to implementation 💛✨

Something I put together a couple years ago when I was working on multiple different projects that needed feathers

Multiple screenshots of a sphere with feather type shapes simply stuck onto it. There are multiple types of vertex normal projections put onto the feathers showing different methods for smoothing them

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars
