Mitch Pigs Demo

Here is a short demo I created from scratch to explore the new update of Unreal Engine 5. My goal was to push the boundaries of my technical knowledge by utilizing Lumen for lighting, along with many other software tools I generally use for video games and real-time rendering. I sculpted the pigs based on a concept art piece I discovered while watching the Instagram artist Mitch Leeuwe. I really enjoy his overall cartoon style, which reminds me of the Preston Blair animation books that I’m particularly fond of. This inspiration led me to create a 3D version of this cute little pig.

I experimented with creating its hair for real-time 3D rendering, which was quite interesting, and then I textured it, producing three different versions: white, pink, and black, as you can see. Finally, I set up the character in Blender (rigging and skinning) and created a simple idle animation to bring the pigs to life. I also created the entire environment, sculpting the ground using ZBrush and Quixel Mixer, and I textured the wooden planks. For the trees and grass, I utilized collections I downloaded from the Epic Marketplace. Additionally, I added some copyright-free sounds and music for the soundtrack and completed the Unreal Engine cinematics with final video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Sonic Super Teams

I created all the miniatures for this Sonic tabletop game, released in Europe, using 3D sculpting and printing technologies, combined with my traditional art and molding skills. I also completed the retopology of the meshes for these 8 characters and handled the texturing to support the teaser.

Blue Moon Cristal

I created this crystal while working for Studio XP, a school focused on video game development for students aged 8 to 20. My role involved creating several chapters to update the online class content for the school, and this crystal was one of the courses I developed. Studio XP uses free and open-source software such as Blender, Krita, and Unity. After completing my assignment for Studio XP, I decided to refine the crystal further and develop an entirely new course using Unreal Engine 5 instead of Unity, aiming to incorporate some impressive UE techniques to teach the students.

I'm happy to share this 3D asset I created in ZBrush and Substance 3D. Once again, I chose an object to teach my students some hard surface techniques and procedural texturing. Here is the final visual version of the related course, rendered in Iray and Marmoset Toolbag. During my classes, I demonstrate the entire process using a video projector, and for online teaching, everything I explain is directly visible through screen sharing.

Flash Light 1950

Here is a flashlight I created from scratch, based on the reference picture shown at the bottom of this page. I enjoy creating low-poly assets and making them look realistic in terms of shape, texture, and overall appearance. I wanted to explore some techniques in Substance 3D, such as the anchor point functions and others. I designed the seahorse graphic and used it in the height channel to stay close to the reference while creating a different logo. For all the modeling, I primarily used ZBrush, specifically the ZModeler brush, along with Substance 3D.

I created some of the merchandise pieces for this game using 3D sculpting and printing technologies, along with my traditional art and molding skills. I'm excited to share pictures of this released game so that we can fully appreciate its high-end and polished quality in every aspect through these visuals. I was also fortunate to collaborate with two amazing and talented illustrators, FORTIFEM. In the last picture, you can see them on the wooden floor surrounded by their craft. As I admire their graphic art and believe in the value of working with great artists, I’ve posted the illustrations they created for the cards and packaging, as it provides a better sense of the overall game quality. They produced both colored and black-and-white versions, and I really love the result of this project, which was created by Maxime Le Dain and published by Bragelonne Games.

I created the miniatures for this released game based on the specifications I was provided.

Here is the Lapin Crétin I created based on the famous Ubisoft game character, which I like very much! I wanted to reproduce Ubisoft's techniques and art style to create another course for the Art and 3D class I teach. This presentation showcases the full process: I used ZBrush for sculpting, retopology, and UV mapping; texturing in Substance 3D; rigging and skinning in Blender; and finally, I created a short animated sequence in Unreal Engine 5, incorporating some post-processing effects to enhance the clip's appeal. I also handled the video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, adding the original soundtrack from the Raving Rabbids that I downloaded

Here is a collectible I created from scratch based on my own concept art and love for this character, using ZBrush. Dragon Ball Z is one of my favorite childhood anime series, and I had a great time sculpting this piece in 2014; it’s one of my older works. I remember struggling at that time to create the cloud in 3D because there were only 2D references available, and there weren't many merchandise items or collectibles of Son Goku molded back then.

I designed and created this figurine, along with all its accessories, using Maxon One and Substance 3D. Inspired by the World of Warcraft universe and its creatures, I aimed to create a 1/6 scale 3D-printed character of an Orc. Approaching morphology is always a significant challenge. I enjoy working on both stylized characters and props as well as more semi-realistic and detail-oriented projects, like this one I’ve just completed.

I designed the central piece of the game, the metal-cast medallion, based on the specifications I received and my own concept art. I utilized 3D sculpting and printing technologies, along with my traditional art and molding skills. Additionally, I designed the back of the cards and the token illustrations to match the medallion.
