In nuce: In this detailed workshop report, published by our friendly colleagues from 80 Level, 3D artist Andrey Gorovtsov talks about his open knight project called “Goreliy” with Blender and Substance 3D Painter.
Who is Andrey Gorovtsov? Andrey is a 3D artist from Belarus who has, as he describes it, “exactly five years of professional experience” in the field of Computer Generated Imagery. Contrary to what one might think, Andrey’s professional education prepared him for the profession of a welder, but one day he decided to turn to illustration, which he succeeded in doing thanks to perseverance, willingness to learn and autodidactics. During his first three years in the industry, Andrey worked as a designer and 2D illustrator, gradually moving on to 3D projects. Today he works mainly in 3D. Andrey has spent most of his career to date as a freelancer, but has been responsible for visuals in the mobile games sector for the last three years.
What is Andrey Gorovtsov’s workshop report about? While searching for a suitable project, Andrey came across Lei Liao‘s Artstation profile. After viewing Lei’s creative work, two points crystallised for Andrey: stylised metal and working with alpha transparencies would become the main components of his own creative project. In the end, Andrey researched the Finnish game artist Marko Laine, who inspired Andrey with a hand-drawn furnace knight. This is how the Blender and Substance 3D Painter project started from Andrey’s digital drawing pen.
What can you expect in the workshop report? Zurab’s workshop report is divided into the following steps: “Modelling”, “Texturing”, and the final “Final Touches”.
