Counting Sweets 1955

Counting Sweets is a robot made out of candy and worn-out metal. He currently owns his own candy shop that moves from town to town. Many individuals who buy candy from his shop notice that he is the only thing working there.

Hunter Bixby, Photogrammetry

Wooden Turtle

This is a photogrammetry scan of a wooden turtle, rendered into a 3D model using the reality capture software and retopologized in Maya to decrease poly count and have the model in game-ready format.

Professional Game Art Winners

Joseph Montano was the judges' 2D Game Art winner as well as People's Choice.

Justin Johnson, 3D

Barrio Del Sapo

This is a small whimsical diorama created mostly in Blender, with some texturing in Substance Painter and Photoshop. I attempted to make it fairly efficient with mostly diffuse textures and the polygon count on the lower side. The idea was create something that had slight cyberpunk elements, but inspired images of South American cities.

Meghan Tankersly, Photogrammetry

Forest Dragon

Retopologized scan of a forest dragon figurine. This is my first photogrammetry retopology attempt so I would love all types of feedback. Particularly in making a clean mesh and sharper texture. Parts of the texture were hand-painted to fix some baking issues.
