Eventually I would like to have some free time to learn more about Unreal and Unity too. At first I liked it but after receiving feedback and help from teachers it had a great improvement.ģdt: Do you use any other software, either for work or personal projects? AS: Well, I normally use Maya or 3ds Max to model and pack UVs, texture it in 3D-Coat or Photoshop to fix smalls things, render in V-Ray or Marmoset, and make the post-production in Photoshop. Another thing was with the post production, I took some time to make it prettier. When they were ready I posted on a social media group and wrote down all the feedback I got, to improve what I could do on this asset or in a future project. 3dt: What challenges did the image present? Did you learn something new? AS: I did not have much practice creating trees, so I took 7 days to finish different versions of trees and decide which one was the better for the scene. I started to contact the concept artist (Grace Liu) and keep showing her the environment while in production and receiving feedback. The idea to make this image came to me when ArtStations Beyond Human challenge started, I had to pick a concept and this one just amazed me so much, I simply needed to make it in 3D. When finishing the final image, I like to pick all the other renders and make a GIF in Photoshop to show the modeling and texture process, allowing others to see the progress of the image to the final. In the end, I just have to fix some problems and finish the render in V-Ray + Maya, and send it to Photoshop to finish the post production. Now this next step depends on the quantity of UVs to paint, but I just open the 3D-Coat and try more colors, with its basic colors ready I start to paint the other layers.

This takes around 10 days, and with everything modeled I start to pack the UVs correctly and export them to 3D-Coat to find the correct colors. Nowadays I take about 1 month at the most to finish my works and the workflow is like this: I begin by creating a few assets in Maya to find the correct camera angles and when its ready, I continue modeling while opening a few UV maps. 3dt: What was the workflow behind your latest gallery image? Where did the idea come from? AS: I keep improving my workflow. I used to live in Rio, but I decided to move to Sao Paulo where I could learn more about 3D at Faculdade Melies and become a better professional. I am 22 years old and Im a 3D environment artist focused on low-poly scenes with hand-painted textures.
