During the summer I made a few swords. Not traditional Viking or Celtic designs, but fantasy swords. The mesh for the bottom sword was a freebie I textured in Substance Painter and rendered in Poser Pro 11. The top sword was textured in Substance Painter, created and rendered in Poser Pro 11.

3D models of viking shields. The top is meant to look like a relic that's been weathering above ground after a battle for years and the bottom was the prototype. I plan to make more in the future. I used Poser Pro 11 to create the mesh and final render. All texturing was done in Substance Painter.
Early 3D modeling projects learning backgrounds, reflective surfaces, metal/roughness, transparency. Everyone does this when they start out :)
My current project is a Viking/Celtic brooch. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to leave this as one piece or add another brooch with a beaded chain. I'm not sure how to make a chain with links so I'm interested in doing it for the experience. Besides it gives me the chance to make glass beads with different textures and roughness (murkiness). I used VB SuperShaders for the jewels and added an image texture for the occlusions (cracks). The jewels were all done with Poser Pro 11, the hammered metallic texture and Celtic knot-work were done in Substance Painter. Substance Painter allows me to paint directly on the mesh (object shape) and create height details, like the Celtic knot-work, directly on the normal map. It's the best program for creating height details on low-poly mesh I have tried. And it's set up like Photoshop so I found it easy to learn.
It's been awhile since I made a post. In November 2015 I began to learn 3D modeling. It took about 8 months before I could make anything half decent. I've been posting my models on Twitter and Facebook but not here. I will be redesigning my web page and posting new material shortly.
I've decided to use this blog as a record of what I'm currently working on with some explanation of how I achieved the results, what software I used and whatever else I think I need to post about projects. I don't intend the blog to be a step by step tutorial. I'm far too scatterbrained for that, just some basic information for myself and to keep track of what I'm doing. I do encourage anyone who has more questions to ask. I'm sure I will be able to help or at least point you in the right direction to find help. Just keep in mind that I'm new at 3D modeling and I still have a lot to learn. |
