Project Title: Firemelon
Reference: Matias Tapia
Tris: 5,380
Development Time: 32 hours
Texture Size: 2k

Software Used:
  • 3ds Max
  • Mudbox
  • Photoshop
  • Unreal Engine 4
I recreated a 2D concept image of a firemelon in the Borderlands art style.  I came in about 700 tris under budget (6k).  Textures used were 2K.  The hi res was constructed of pieces of the model so the whole doesn't exist as a high res.

Additionally, I created a shader that makes the outlines along the visible edges of the model and its pieces.

Once completed, I created a variant using the same model.  This particular variant is inspired by the cryo vine
