Normally when this happens, I go back to Modo, add geometric the details by modeling, unwrap new UVs by not destroying the rest of the UVs because it is important for SP to transfer hand painted ornament paintings onto the new model. When I finished all the painting, I looked to the handle of the dagger and see that it has no geometric detail on it! Not even a grip geometry to generate occlusion or dirt. After modeling the dagger, I painted many ornament details on the guard part in Substance Painter. There is even a funny moment about this textured details. It is exactly the materials make them look detailed. I used lots of displacement maps and material IDs to variate the look on them.

Most of the accessories on the scene are simple models. SD saved so much time by using it to create stone wall, fireplace, melted candle wax, wicker and crystal materials instead of sculpting them in Zbrush or any other software.ДЄfter creating a parametric material, I applied that material on specific models in Substance Painter to get it varied. I created parametric PBR materials with Substance Designer to get geometric details by maps. Main pipeline was like that: I modeled a basic geometry and make the object look complicated by advanced texturing. So, I modeled less, textured lot on this one. Main idea on this scene was getting the result mostly with textures, not specific modeling or sculpting. But on this project I decided to expand my workflows and tried to achieve my goals with unusual ways than I used to. I usually create my models on CAD softwares, like Solidworks, Rhinoceros or MoI. After modeling half of them, I constructed the scene and placed the rest as they completed one by one.

So, I decided to model the objects first. And if objects donвЂ™t look like the same, project would have no meaning. Main focus on this project was to mimic the objects in the low res illustrations of the game to catch people who played the Daggerfall before. I always wanted to start a scene by blocks and replace the items once they ready, but I couldnвЂ™t start as this approach. I can say that I followed a hybrid workflow. It was very close to the tabletop FRP games we played, even better by combining first person gaming experience with realistic FRP elements and a huge world to travel in. Bethesda Softworks released The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall in 1996 and it was a big hit on my high school years. The ideaДЇantasy Role Playing games are the best part of video gaming industry for me. For binding up, studying statistics previously, helped me lot on understanding algorithmic, generative and parametric design approaches which have mathematical essence in them all. For 3 years, IвЂ™m freelancing on plastics molding design of electronic devices, parametric PBR material design, traditional and generative CAD modeling on product design. After I left the department manager position, I go freelance to advance the skills that I wanted to. It was a opportunity to advance on CAD modeling and technical drafting for me. I studied Statistics up to masters degree, but in parallel, I worked for 10 years in a company by creating steel construction designs of GSM towers. IвЂ™m Cem Tezcan from Turkey and IвЂ™m a technical designer working as a freelancer on creating bridge between technical design and artistic visualization.ДЄctually my background is a bit of complicated.
