Space cave explorer for February’s SimpleCG challenge! Since one of the prompts this month was Animal Crossing I simply had to participate.
This time I decided to play around with Substance Painter and Unity to try out how PBR could be used for really simplified models and texturing styles. I did not have enough time to try out everything I would have liked, but I still think this workflow looks promising!
Whoovee, monthly challenge number 14 is finished! Cave, Sci-fi, and Animal crossing was the three words for this one, and I think it turned out great! <3
We have gained a lot of subscribers lately so first to all those who are new, HELLO! And welcome! Each month here I post a CG challenge. Every month has a different theme and this month I drew a theme from a hat. You can find out morehere. Everyone is welcome to participate just remember to use the hashtag #simplecg.
Up top, you will now see links to simplecg’s FacebookandInstagram, my twitchstream where you can watch me build CG stuff and occasionally play video games, the Simplecg tutorial blog where I post tutorials I make and find, and a link to my personal art.
I have also updated the FAQ but let me know if you have any questions I have not covered.
I made this over twich this week for this month’s simple cg.
I think I’m gonna keep doing these “themes from a hat”. For this month’s challenge, the words are “Sci-fi, Caves, and animal crossing”. You can interpret that in any way you like. I combined the sci-fi and caves part into a fallout type universe and put it through the filter of animal crossing esthetic. The wrench is just a reference to another favorite game series. Good luck you guys and remember to tag your submissions with #simplecg
Also as a side note: WE ARE NOW OVER 10,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!! This is really cool you guys I never dreamed that this blog would reach this point. Thank you for making this happen you guys!!
My submission for January’s theme-from-a-hat: space, woods, item shop. A little truck shuttle stop along Star Route 52, with a few essential power-ups in stock. I had a lot of fun with this! :)
Here’s my entry for @simplecg‘s January challenge. The theme I chose is space.
I had one of those from LEGO when I was younger. Unfortunately, I lost some of the pieces. It’s based on the X-Wing Starfighter LEGO set from Star Wars.
It’s been a while since I’ve put together a reel so I thought I would throw one together of all the personal work I’ve been up to. I’ll eventually get together a professional work reel but this came together so quickly I just wanted to share it as soon as it was done. Enjoy!
(Shameless self promotion moment) I put together a reel of a lot of my personal work I’ve been upto, and pretty much all of it was from working on this blog! Running this blog has been fantastic! It’s kept me busy and kept forcing me to make stuff on my own time outside of work! It was really cool putting this together because it was one of the first instances where I actually was taking notice of how much I’ve grow as an artist, and it largely is thanks to all of you! Thank you to everyone who follows this blog, to the people who participate and the people that share! You all are the future of animation! Keep pushing boundaries and keep it simple!
(Okay so that went more sentimental than I thought it was going to go haha)
I’ve started animating textures a lot more in my 3D models recently, and since I haven’t made a tutorial in a while, I thought I’d go over how to do it like this:
This tutorial has been requested a lot! And so it is here!
This is a new format that I am trying out to deliver quick and simple tutorials, so I could really use your feedback! Please let me know if this was helpful or if anything was unclear. I’m going to try and do more of these in the future so let me know what subjects you would like me to cover! Please message me or write a comment with your suggestions and questions!
Side note for Mobil users! The photos have captions that for some reason don’t show up on Mobil so make sure you check it out on your desktop computer! Post link
Another@simplecg monthly challenge entry! The theme is Vaporwave Food; I hope this gif looks old enough to drink. :3 The secret ingredient is a tangle of messy nodes in the Blender Compositor.
Modeling + texture + soft body physics all done in Blender <3
Just noticed that I forgot to post this! It’s been sitting in draft for ages.
A suuper long time ago @simplecg had a “plant friend” challenge, and I did some concept art of a little plant fairy trapped in its home of amber. When Sketchfab introduced refraction support I found an excuse to bring the piece to completion. :P
Modeled in Blender, painted in Substance Painter. Artstation link for more screenshots.
My entry for @simplecg‘s February Theme-from-a-hat challenge: Sci-Fi + Caves + Animal Crossing. I made a little astro-dude inspired by SpaceX’s spacesuit with AC proportions, and rigged it to use Unreal’s skeleton so I get a buncha animations for free! Then I made some low-poly mushrooms, rocks, a cave, and then painted the cave floor AC-style. Artstationpage with details.
Oh, don’t tell me SpaceX is not science fiction… I mean, it basically is to me. :O
More screenshots below!
Models made in Blender, textures painted in Substance Painter, scene assembled in Unreal Engine.

Part 1 of my 3Dcember challenge! Making a series of some of my favorite things from The Binding of Isaac (Rebirth + Afterbirth)
A little bummed that I made them as apng initially, but Tumblr doesn’t seem to support it. :( I’ll be putting them all on Sketchfab when all 12 are done.
Made in Blender, textured in Substance Painter + Krita.
Made this illustration for Pigments app. The newest update adds a new and exciting color generator mode powered by artificial intelligence. Follow the app on Instagram here.
