There's Bugs in My Work
With my coworker at the Envision Center, Tabitha Broering, we built six bugs in eight weeks for inclusion in an study about teaching middle school students about entomology using Augmented Reality. Tabitha and I tag-teamed the work in order to meet the tight deadlines, what I did for each bug is listed under the related image. With this project I also explored RMA texture packing using Substance. These were to be used in AR and we wanted as small a texture file as possible. The six and final bug is not presented here.

Diving Beetle: I blocked out the rough shape, retopologized it, laid out the UVs, and textured this bug. I experimented with RMA packing techniques as well. Tabi modeled the legs and finer details.
