Welding Showcase
This scene was put together to showcase assets I created at Up360 for a Virtual Reality Welding Training Simulation.
The Majority of these assets were created using a Highpoly to Lowpoly workflow with the intention of them being hero assets. The Welding Generator and the Gas bottle and flow regulator, were a Midpoly workflow, Mostly using alpha stamping in Substance painter.
All of the assets used Sockets to position the meshes and were implemented using blueprint in Unreal.
Welding Helmet - This was a fun little challenge. I used Zbrush for the Highpoly and learned some new blender retopo tools for the lowpoly. In painter I had it set up so that I could easily swap out the basecolor map.
Welding Torch - A simple Highpoly/Lowpoly asset to get some practice in, and to set the quality bar for the VR simulation.
Angle Grinder - This one was all modeled in blender using a highpoly/lowpoly workflow, some of the shapes were hard to get right, but I am very happy with the final asset.
Electrode Sharpener for a TIG welder, with some vertex animations on the wheel inside to make it spin without using blueprint.
Welding Generator - Midpoly workflow, with a lot of normal stamping and a few higpoly details. The side panel is fully removable along with most of the internals, to prep for the job.
