3D Work
I work primarily in Maya, but also love working in Blender and Unreal Engine!
Gramophone
This piece was modeled in Maya, textured in Substance Painter and Mari, and composited in Nuke. This was my first time using Mari in my texturing process and I really enjoyed learning it. The node based workflow was very powerful and I'm looking forward to working with Mari more in the future!
This was also my first attempt at a hyper realistic piece, and I had a lot of fun working on it.

Crystal Game - Gameplay Demo
This was a game I created using Unreal Engine. I loved working on this project and getting to dig into my software background to create a simple game. It was really fun to learn the UE workflow and get to know Blueprint!
I was responsible for modeling and texturing the walls/doors/floors as well as layout and game logic. The game logic was implemented using Blueprints.

Dark Alley
This was a three week set dressing project based on Rebecca Hu's background art for Andromeda Six: https://osteathus.artstation.com/projects/188moX?album_id=2490535
I really enjoyed working on this project and practicing procedural texturing as well as cloth simulation. I wanted to push myself to work on a project that is different from my usual work and I ended up really loving the process!
This was modeled in Maya, and textures are a mixture of procedural and hand painted textures.
