See How This Cute House in Forest Grew from Blockout to Final Render

Seeing how gray blockouts turn into colorful renders is always fascinating; this is why we have Blocktober, an annual event where artists showcase the stripped-down versions of their art.

Stylized environment artist Nico Ruiz shared their own little victory – their first 3D scene depicting a cute little house in the middle of the forest. The blockout and render side by side show just how important details and colors are.

If you wish to create something similar, check out the artist's breakdown of this project, showing the work with ZBrush, Blender, Substance 3D Painter, and Unreal Engine.
