Headline: Just wrapped up my latest 3D game prop project: a fully optimized, game-ready wagon I built this asset from scratch to push my workflow boundaries, focusing heavily on efficient asset creation and realistic material definition. Key Takeaways & Workflow: Modeling & Rendering: Completed entirely in Blender. This project was a fantastic opportunity to dive deeper into kit workflows, allowing me to stay organized and modular. Texturing: Done in Substance Painter. I really focused on narrative storytelling through textures—paying close attention to wood grain wear, edge wear on metal, and realistic weathering. I learned an incredible amount about optimizing my pipeline and mastering the bridge between Blender and Substance. Ready to take these skills into the next project! Check out the renders below. I’d love to hear your feedback!
