UE4 Landscape
Trees and Grass were created in SpeedTree for UE4
This is not a game, just a tech demo, you drive around and look at the trees and stuff...yawn
UE4 Driving Testing
No Idea what I was thinking here...
Drescalus Unity
Super huge world, 2 towns, a huge mountain, lots of houses, plenty of stuff to see, but nothing to do...
UDK Platformer
The HUD, character model and Gun in this demo is part of the default UDK setup, and was not created by me.
CryEngine3 Landscape
Trees and Grass were created in Speedtree, and then exported and refined in Max using custom scripts.
The character model and Gun in this demo is part of the default CryEngine setup, and was not created by me.
UE4 World Composition
Did this as a tech demo to try out world composition with World Machine and Unreal Engine 4.
You can control an orb in an 8x8 square KM tiled world. Or watch if do random stuff and fly around.
UDK Forrest
Unity Crate Out!
A break out clone, made with Unity as part of my studies at www.gameinstitute.com.
UDK Asteroid
HUD was created using Scaleform and Flash.
UE4 The First FishGibble
Greenlit on Steam, was available for purchase on the App Store and Play Store, but has since been removed as we are not focusing on mobile games anymore.
This game was completely rewritten in UE4.15.
Mechanic
Modeled in ZBrush.
UE4 Underwater Scene
Made using Unreal Engine and HitFilm Express.
Models were made using Maya and ZBrush, with Speedtree for foliage.

What's the aim of your portfolio? Are you trying to find work in any particular position? Do you want to make your own games? You seem to dabble in a bit of everything, and your website seems to have a mix of stronger and weaker work. The SpeedTree stuff came out really well.
The aim of my portfolio is to put myself out there, I am definitely interested in part-time Game Development work.
But for the next few months, I will be busy rewriting FishGibble for Steam, and at the same time, from September the AnimSchool program.
Yeah I started just by reading tons of books, and then doing courses, part of the course was mathematics, learning to design and implement a full fledged game engine in C++, which I believe is now called Carbon, and then learned as much as I could about the Art, Modelling, Texturing and Animation pipeline, and then just progressed to using professional game engines, like Unity, UDK CryEngine3 and finally Unreal Engine 4. I find C++ with Epic's custom compiler directive like tags to expose and invoke Blueprint functions very natural and easy for rapid prototyping, development and debugging.
Some updates on the new FishGibble.
I know it's not a game anybody is excited about, but it is fun to make, and it's mine. And I am sharing the process with anyone who is interested. Have an awesome one!

Allows for procedurally spawning blueprints in stead of static meshes across the landscape.
That is only a block/placeholder for approximation/scale. The characters for the game will all be humanoid or quadruped with full body and facial animation, including character customization. I prefer getting the scale nailed down first
Our modelers are currently modeling some of the character races in ZBrush from concept, then it's on to surfacing using Substance/Photoshop, then retopo, skinning, rigging and blendshapes for customization in Maya then finally the animators and TD's will have some fun bringing them to life for our various in game mechanics and game play requirements.
Good luck and thank you for the feedback!
