Evening People!It was a nice week this one, had a great and chill weekend modelling away in blender and chilling after the workshop that I did on Thursday and Friday (which was awesome)Workshop detailsI already sort of mentioned this last week but I went to this Workshop for WorldBuilding which was hosted by another Ubisoft Studio in Dusseldorf, the speaker Luis Guggenberger (https://www.artstation.com/luisguggenberger) was an amazing inspiration, even thought he specific topics were more catered towards concept art.The main things I took away from this little workshop wereBe agile!How to be agile and focus on speed within your own workflow, Luis invested a lot of time in learning new things to speed up his workflow, where as I learn new things just out of interest and with not clear goal of what I want the tool to do without researching it's limitations before I properly dive in. Also tying into this, he really focused on quick iteration and getting to certain stages as quick as possible. This obviously means getting used to your specific workflow of choice so you can actually do this.Placing yourself in your workI thing I like to do myself as well, but he really went in deep with this, really thinking about all the smaller details like connecting the grime/dirt on a vehicle to the type of surface and are it will constantly be used in. A really goodThis might be a weird topic to add onto this, but I really realized how many restrictions Environment artists (or artists in general) have within the games industry. With this I mean doing proper UV's (no quick procedural or tri-planar mapped stuff in most cases because of limited budget and texel density), having polycount limits at all and having to make all your meshes correct from every angle (for most games).All of these limitations that I got so used to and got me to a point where I didn't know anything else, got heavily distorted by the workflows and tips that he gave because he didn't have those at all, he had parts of meshes which looked awful, but it didn't matter because you would never see them anyways!,Project "A-tech" (short for agricultural technologies)Doing some more testing with different spaces using the meshes that I have made so far, trying to get a larger space feel logical with current assets is really hard right now, so I will need to do some experimentation!Currently I have been working on the more background/hidden elements that make this factory run, you can still see them through the paneling in the ceiling but they are not in your face and embedded into the environment, which would give it a factory feeling instead of the clean laboratory look.This weekend I will not be doing any work on this project so will hopefully get some stuff done during the week!
