As someone new to YouTube, with less than 500 subs, sometimes it feels like uploads don’t get seen by many real people. So when I get a comment like the one below it really makes my day. 💙 I hope people enjoy the art and the tutorials.
A screenshot from YouTube that looks at a comment under a Short I’ve uploaded. User “neytrql” says “Keep up the good work! ❤️ You will get to good places I can see it.”

With videos and tutorials done, it's time to get back to some sculpting and 3D art.

Resuming the sculpting of the front gate of my stylized tower diorama. #gamedev #gameart #3Dart
A Zbrush screenshot of a 3D gateway with leaf motives and a bunch of spikes. The render is clay and is grayscale.

The sculpt is done, so now it's time to go away from Zbrush and back to Blender. Time for some hand retopo.
#gamedev #gameart #3Dart
A screenshot of a sculpt loaded inside a Blender scene. On top of the sculpt (gray material preview) there are green parts which show the topology of hand made matching pieces.

Some UVs. Love UVs.

The left and right side of the geometry have their UVs overlapped, so I save on texel density (and on my sanity when I start hand painting on top).
#gamedev #gameart #3Dart #art
A screenshot from Blender that shows UV space, on the left and the mesh the blue UV shells belong to, seen on the right. The right side is a 3D view of the prop, which is a gate with spike and leaf elements. It is rendered gray and textureless.

After a long day of environment art at work, I'm heading into WoW to do some more environment art and set dressing there as well.
A screenshot from the new housing mode in World of Warcraft. It shows a Fire Mage character looking at a few paintings, book shelves and a floating mage book. Editing gizmo is shown and scale and rotate settings on the bars of the UI are seen too.

An image of a player going through a red portal. In the corner there is a rainbow portal. There are the Blender and Unreal Engine 5 logos. Text reads "Part 1 - 3D Model the Gate | Blender, UE5".

My digital art program journey

- Photoshop since 2007
- Maya
- UE4
- Substance Painter and Designer

when I moved to Designer and dropped Photoshop it blew my mind. It made me realise how bad Photoshop changed over the years

then
- UE5
- Blender

Moving to Blender, from Maya, was also mind opening

My digital art program journey

- Adobe Flash animation? (I'm not 100% but it was an adobe program in 2009 that let you do frame by frame animations)
- Adobe Photoshop circa 2012?
- Krita

I adore krita. I occasionally consider getting a second program to aid but it will always be my main love

Cursed accidental DaVinci thumbnail preview.

And yes, I name my timelines with "_Final_Final_final_finalIpromise".
A preview of timelines in DaVinci Resolve. It shows one where programs UI is scaled down. Under it says "Video006_FINAL_s...". Then the next one is "Video006_vertical" and its thumbnail is my face zoomed onto the eyes and the nose. It has a red tick in one edge too, indicating its selected.

Hi #PortfolioDay I'm Pete.

I'm a Senior Environment Artist working on stuff like SE:R at Rebellion. Last year, I also started a YouTube channel with game dev educational videos and some Blender and UE5 tutorials.
www.youtube.com/@PeteDimitrov

Here's some of my art:
Game screenshot from environment in Sniper Elite: Resistance by Rebellion. Depicts muddy banks and bunkers in 3D that I worked on. Everything is grassy and wet and muddy. Another Sniper Elite: Resistance screenshot. This one shows a dam that has been damaged. An UE5 screenshot of a scene of a ruined interior. Light spills inside from the daylight outside. There is a rock orb in the middle of the composition and it floats. On its ends there are blue crystals. A Japanese shrine depicted in 3D with fantasy twists. Showcases early morning scene with lots of wooden structures and orange bamboo candles. Unreal Engine 4 artwork. Artist signature in the corner says the art was made 2018.

YouTube invited me to an experimental feature called "Courses" which fits great my educational game dev tuts.

I'm trying to find out whats better about Courses vs Playlists. So far it looks like it allows better UI when it comes to description, but else its the same

A thumbnail showing a portal with a rainbow vortex, seen inside of Unreal Engine 5. There is an arrow pointing to it and inside of it a screenshot from UE5 shows a blueprint version of the portal, seen from the side. Text reads "Part 6.4 - Recolor Vortex UI Widgets".

I finally got around to posting some professional artwork into my portfolio, from SE:R. See all the environment shots, in 4k, in the link below.
#gamedev #gameart #art
www.artstation.com/artwork/Nq0OR5
A few levels of muddy banks, seen in Sniper Elite: Resistance. On the top level, there is a bunker hidden in camo paint. The scene is very lush in grass and vegetation. The sky is blue but cloudy. There is a V2 suspended in the distance. A zoom from the previous muddy banks. A crop of the bunker on the top is seen. In this picture, the road is seen better too and there are some trucks on it. It's filled with puddles as well. SE:R, screenshot taken in Asura Engine (Rebellions proprietary one). A more frontal look at the muddy banks and the way they are suspended by wooden logs. There is a digger machine in one side of the picture, cropped. The FOV here is lower, so everything looks more at isometric view (though not fully). There is lots of grass and green pieces. A screenshot showing dug ground that has been covered in concrete. Those are enemy embankments and hidden tunnels and bunkers. There is green mountain on the left side of the picture.

(ignore that I left the gizmo on for one of the blueprints, by mistake)

If you want a portal like that - make one following the tuts I've published: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
A screenshot of an UE5 actor blueprint. It's a portal that teleports you from one location to another. It looks like a gateway with a rainbow vortex. A player is seen running out of that.

In and out of the blue and red portals.

I was setting up some camera angles for some thumbnails yesterday, so have one.

#gamedev #art #UE5 #b3d
A screenshot from an UE5 scene. It shows a red checker material floor, on top of which there are 2 portal gateways. One is blue (left) and the other is red (right side). Into the blue one, a player is seen walking in. From the red one, the same player mannequin is seen walking out.

I've nearly wrapped up the tutorials I'm making, and then I can go back to doing the art on my tower, which keeps me pretty excited. Making tuts were a nice break from it.

That green, textureless, land really calls for some stylized tiling mats, might tackle that first.
A screenshot from UE5 showing a green, smooth land on which a tower sits. The tower is made out of stone and gold. It's textured. There are blue crystals on it. Around are floating spires in orange, blue and pink (those the last colors are cropped out of the image). The landscape is green but lacks texturing. So does the blue sky in the background. Making of the tower was documented in some of my game dev videos.

In this next tutorial part, we take the Niagara system, and we recolor it a few times. #gamedev #UE5 #tutorial

This is the final one on the art, and in the next one we will dive into Blueprints for gameplay.
A screenshot of a thumbnail that shows an UE5 level with 3 gateways. One is colored yellow, another is blue, the final one is red. The floor is gray and checkeboard. Text reads "Part 4.2 - Recolor the Niagara Particles".
