3d foliage

Almost all of the foliage I made for Palia was made using hand painted textures and SpeedTree. Since Palia is cross platform with the Nintendo Switch, it was imperative that the foliage in the game be made cheaply, which SpeedTree is excellent at doing.

Picture something like Minecraft meets Breath of the Wild sprinkled with some elements from games like Stardew Valley, set in a universe not based on any existing IP. We got to contribute a lot of concepts, 3D…

These beautiful hydrangeas are a game-ready asset created by Eric Blaida

This was my practical part for my Bachelor's Thesis at Cologne Game Lab! My main goal was to recreate this beautiful part of Berlin in a small playable level intended for a first-person shooter with several paths to choose from and corners to explore. The artstyle was intended to be stylized, so for texturing I used both procedural techniques in Substance Designer and hand-painting in Painter and Clip Studio Paint. During the development I did not have a lot of access to Zbrush so I had to…

For SMITE's new Arena map, I was responsible for creating the ground level foliage that we used for this game mode. Some meshes and textures I had initially developed for Conquest and adventure modes, but were re-visited and improved on for Arena. Hera in Greek mythology is symbolized with lilies and lotuses, so we thematically included these plants for lore.

One of my larger projects on Wayfinder involves curating and improving the foliage material system. With so many different types of plants and biomes, we needed robust material setups that could handle the varied foliage types (trees, grasses, shrubs, groundcover, etc) while not putting undue stress on performance while having thousands of these actors rendered at any given time. Additionally, I wanted to include as much dynamic interaction as possible to help the levels feel alive and…

Nothing much to say besides I was gettin tired of creating classic materials and focusing on doing everything procedural. I still love renderballs and the appeal of mapping something on spherical shapes, so I went for something completely new. The whole project is nearly completely procedural. Most of the assets were used from Megascans, while creating some of the foliage inside Speedtree. Scattering and color variation are mostly driven by scattering inside Blender and slightly adjusting…
