Materials and Particle Systems
Tech art is one of my favorite artistic mediums to work in. Using Unreal Engine 4's robust material and particle tools, I have created both realistic and stylized materials, complex material transitions, and visually engaging particles.
The Magician's Arm:
This experiment in materials and particles was a one-man project, using premade textures and models and using my own materials and particles:
-
Arm and tattoo textures were made using UE4's material editor
-
Particles were created in Cascade
-
Fingers were rigged and animated to make the arm feel more alive
Software used:
-
Unreal Engine 4
-
Adobe Photoshop
-
Maya
Centaurus:
My main role when creating the explorable environment was creating materials, lighting, and particles:
-
Material textures were all done in-engine
-
Particle FX and lighting were combined to mesh the effects together for a smoother border between the two, making the world seem more organic
Software used:
