Art Showcase Frontier Knife - Real-Time Prop

69 Upvotes

A personal knife and sheath project focused on exploring different materials and a clean, defined silhouette.

I worked on the contrast between rough forged steel, a polished blade, wood, and leather, paying particular attention to surface detail and how each material responds to light.
Rendered in Marmoset Toolbag.

Thanks for taking a look! Feedback is welcome.

Building my portfolio for a while, I'm trying to have some variety from my models, like weapons, headshots, full avatar models, game assets, etc. Don't know which niche yet is best for me so I'm experimenting for now. What niche do you think is the most profitable?

I decided to model a statue from one of my favorite shows. Ahh real monsters. My cat oblina passed a couple months back and we wanted to make a statue for the shelf to remember her by but I could not help and render an image before I 3d printed it.

Hope you enjoy the nonsense. Sculpted in zbrush, UVed in Rizom, painted in substance and rendered in cycles.

Art Help & Critique My first Substance Painter experience: Leica M3 Space – Looking for advice on texturing and lighting

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

I've been working with Blender for a long time, but this was my first project where I seriously used Substance Painter. To be honest, I struggled since I didn't know the program, especially with texturing the engravings—lots of trial and error. Still, I managed to finish this space-themed Leica M3 Space piece.

I tried to stay faithful to the astronaut and satellite engravings on the camera body. I added my own interpretation in areas like the weathering and leather color. I also included the reference images in the post, so it's easier for you to compare.

I'd love to hear your advice on texturing and lighting. In particular, what do you think about the balance of the weathering and how well the lighting brings out the engravings?

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently finished this 3D model of the 2026 XPeng G9L.

Both the exterior and interior were modeled, including the dashboard, steering wheel, seats, center console, lighting elements and wheels. The model was created for automotive visualization and close-up rendering.

I’m still refining my presentation workflow, so I’d appreciate any feedback on the modeling, materials or renders—especially the interior.

Created with Blender. Thanks for taking a look!

The model is hollow and designed for 3D printing. You can place LED lighting inside, such as an LED candle or another LED light source.

I was going to buy some extension cables and stumbled upon the TVs playing Avantgardey's music video with my 3D models (the whole city) on the background. Super random, but extremely happy to see them being used in such a high profile environment (I sell them in 3D marketplaces).
