A Big Artist For A Big Game

Hello, I’m BDCV— a 3D+ artist.

I picked up 3D close to 10 years ago. Because there was a need: Art.

Pets. Architecture. Fashion. Cars. Weaponry. Environments.

The work uploaded to this page, and in general on this site, is just a glimpse of every domain I’ve touched in my life.

The following was created entirely by me.

Spectrum˙
A Counter-Strike 2
Skin Collection

Pearlescent, with Normal Map support. [PBR]

Introduction Sequence. Created with Houdini. Rendered with Octane. Soundtrack provided by Monstercat.
Procedural Infinity Gun Armory scene construction inside Houdini.

USP-S | Spectrum
AUG | Spectrum

AK-47 | Spectrum

And more.

Spectrum shifting through Space-Time
Once Spectrum takes a snapshot of space-time, the compositing network above takes
that texture and automatically does color processing to export for 3 channels.
Albedo, Roughness, and Normal textures.
Text/Masks are combined here.

A procedural weapon generator, capable of making an infinite number of variants.

3.5K Average Polygon Count, Single 1024px Texture, 1.1 MB Total Size
Generator in action inside Houdini’s viewport, each new frame randomizes the generator’s parameters, in the video it is at the 19,000th iteration.

Sublime Architecture.

Enjoy this experience here.

An entire world packaged as a .3D file.

A more refined version. Houdini viewport.

I create a world, add path tracing effects to the scene, render it out. And just like that, path tracing becomes a reality on the web.

Scene lightning. Octane Render.

Sublime Architecture cont.

Inspired by Classical, Futuristic, and Abstract Architecture. Avant-garde.

Play here.
It takes a while to load because the file has not gone through final optimization.

Model assembly in Houdini.

Deployed via Oncyber, this can be played on the browser as is it one giant .GLB file.

To create a work like this, I used 8+ programs to bring it to life.

20+ Unique textures to power the scene.

“ARTWORK”

Screenshot inside Roblox Studio. Terrain and Typography concepting.
Cloth [dollar rain], pyro, mist Simulations. Modeled and Rendered inside Houdini with 3Delight. Post-processing done with Photoshop.
Rendered with 3Delight NSI. Based on the real life Villa La Magia. Scene built with Houdini. Still frame from an animation found on my homepage.
Created in Blender, rendering with Octane.
Procedural terrain + scattering system study created with Houdini. Rendered with 3Delight.

Rendered with Octane Render. Scene built & simulated with Houdini.

And a Proof-of-Concept.

I created a Terrain, alongside a system that slices it into chunks, then optimized, assigned a color attribute from a texture. Tunnel holes blasted. And lastly, each tile is exported with a numbered file naming convention.

Automatic, organized and fast iterative workflow designed for ease of use in Roblox Studio.

The Roads and their elements [road markings, road rails, sidewalk] are procedurally generated from a single editable curve.

Buildings vary in size, and yet every floor is the same height.

Naturally Cinematic view coming out of the tunnel.

Words don’t do art justice. Experience this game for yourself in Roblox here.

Terrain slicing point groups. On the right is the entire network of the terrain processing.

Houdini viewport.
In-game footage, Roblox.
Network view in Houdini of the Bridge construction.
Tunnel procedurally generated from the Road Curve. Holes were blasted in the terrain to make such a feature possible.
Interactive, procedural, road and bridge construction.

Much like the terrain, the road system and its components are automatically sliced, so they can be imported with ease in Roblox Studio.

Tree instancing demo. Houdini > .JSON > Luau Parsing

In a single click, let there be thousands of trees. Randomized orientation, scale, and Cd. Density based on the terrain’s slope.

These methodologies, are used by the best studios in the world.

I research technology to build the games of tomorrow. So that our artistry is not limited by it. Being an artist is not only about having a vision, but knowing the brush for the job.

Previous Achievements:

Lead 3D Artist for Emergency Response: Liberty County. During my 1 year there, I helped the game reach a new record of 45,000 concurrent players. My work is still well alive in-game. Timeless.

Created Little Miami, the Flamingo DAO‘s first artwork gallery for their collection. Total assets equaling about $60M.

Invited to RDC in 2018. For a game I co-created. I was only just beginning to experiment with 3D graphics. I created the entire map below, in a year solo, when I was just 15. A set of guns, cars, and all of the UI.

You can go inside every building in the game.

Flashback to OG Jailbreak. That’s what this would have competed with at the time.

It even had a simulation based economy progression. In 2018. Talk about seeing the future.
Day and night cycle.

The following are development images I took while working at ER:LC. All of this work was created by me in 2021. In the time since, I improved in all aspects.

This Bugatti was for a long time the most expensive car in ER:LC
Created by me.
Another car I created for ER:LC.
Screenshot taken in 2021. All these years later, they still enjoy my work. My steady flow of assets ensured a stable player count that could grow as the team also eventually did.
Rendered in Cycles, almost in real-time
EEVEE Viewport
Tires were removed explicitly across most vehicles [on request].

The assets below are rendered in Roblox Studio

Tires are missing because this was purely body panels testing. Programmers explicitly asked me to leave out. Same thing with helicopter’s propellers. They are later added.
Not ER:LC, Solo Work.
Created using a semi-procedural workflow.
Modeled using Blender, imported into Houdini to extract materials and automatically separate materials into different objects for ease of use in Roblox Studio.
Experimental development.
Concept Architecture Art.
AUG | Spectrum
Nature Collection I released in 2021 that net me about $3K USD. Background art.

To think how, the greatest art is still ahead of us, it has not yet been created.
