A selection of assets fully hand made for the Hemlock Forest project.. There were other assets and materials made for the project, but these are definitely the best of the bunch. Materials made completely in Substance Designer. The plants and branches were blocked out in Maya, sculpted in Zbrush, assembled into an atlas, then textured in Substance Painter. Trees were made in Speedtree.

For my first real adventure into organics and foliage, I think it went pretty well and I look forward to pushing these skills further in the future. Being able to have the skills to introduce organic elements into my future work was one of my aims, and I definitely feel very comfortable tackling foliage moving forward. Massive thanks to all my friends who helped with feedback and critique throughout, it really helped push this project further than I could have gone.

I learned a lot about how to to the Shore Rocks from Tom Jacobs Biotope Material and developed my own workflows studying various Daniel Thiger graphs. Both their Artstation stores are linked below.
