https://lnkd.in/dhd8GMAN another military prop, I made at the end of 2022, as extra main/hero prop, such as a main turret, for my Uh-1 asset. I spent 2, almost 3 weeks for this huge hard surface weapon, really interesting to make, switching maya to zbrush for muzzle and the kick, trying various trim, knifes, and booleans tools. some pics are taken from Substance' viewport, visualizing with Iray, other, such as the thumbnail, developed in Maya with auxiliar of V-Ray and quixel. Wireframes screenshots actually are high poly, but it's pratically game ready or for a VFX Live Action , it shoulds needs just a decimation on topology !😚👍🤗 #3dmodeling #hardsurface #weapons #muzzle #autodeskmaya #zbrush #cg #game #props #militaryprop #m60 #machingegun #texturing #vray #iray #substancepainter

In this game I was responsible for developing the main character and I was also responsible for developing 3D assets for the game.

One of the common goals in any production using virtual production workflows is accurate depth field representation. The issues with getting 1:1 accuracy is more than meets the eye. This goes beyond just work on a volume (LED) as virtual production is much more than just one engine, one media server or one type of combination of camera and lens package. Starting off in Previs, Techvis (even Postvis) adding VCam (scouting) and Simulcam in its various forms simulating the camera and lenses that may be your principal choices via our DOP. At times the camera package may not be chosen yet and you have to build off of some of your previous built packages. I have built up a library of previous calibrated cameras and lenses that I bring into the next project iterations going back to even before the stereoscopic boom of the 2010's. This library is much larger now but its always adding since the combination of sensor and lens (spherical & anamorphics) can differ from widely project to project and the available rentals house stock to custom Panavision , Iron Glass, Zeiss, ARRI, Kowa etc (the list goes on). It's also something we have been working on with some of our SMPTE RIS initiatives with the help of Epic Games and a host of other contributors in our technical group. With my background as a cinematographer and Supervisor making sure with have proper calibration and metadata flow (using encoded lens and FIZ translators) is something to plan for as early as possible in the earliest of stages of any project. There are quite a lot of technical issues that can arise. By having these libraries it allows me to help fellow cinematographers and creatives audition looks both creatively and technically. It is really important to approach camera, lens and color calibration properly especially in virtual production pipelines.(camera tracking calibration is for another post) The data doesn't just stop at the stage it will flow into post and comp as well. If you can help ease some pain points and have a great multi-department communication this is how things can get seamless. One great recent resource from pal Ben Kidd and is his talk about Accurate Depth of Field in ICVFX at UE Fest recently is one to watch. Ben and I just gave a presentation about this topic at one of our recent Camera & Lens RIS meetings. Looks like these type of posts are well liked and happy to keep adding to them to help others. #depthoffield #ICVFX #virtualproduction #cinemalens #DOF #virtualcamera #simulcam #UnrealEngine #UE5 #camerasensor #UEFest #LEDVolume #filmmaking #cameratracking #circleofconfusion

Hello everybody! . I have successfully completed a new game ready project - TKN-1c night vision device This model was installed in the armored vehicles of the USSR in the middle of the last century . I took it up because I really liked the silhouette and the opportunity to work with the imperfections and texture of the old Soviet thing . To be honest, it turned out better than I expected. I have improved a lot of skills in all stages, especially UV Mapping and textures . 7,7k triangles 35 px/cm Texel density 2K textures (4k Marmoset render) . High Poly = zBrush + SubD Low Poly with custom normals https://lnkd.in/eXqUBuFu

Kinda makes yah want a glass of wine, doesn’t it?
