Editor’s note: This post is part of our weekly <\/i>In the NVIDIA Studio<\/i><\/a> series, which celebrates featured artists, offers creative tips and tricks, and demonstrates how <\/i>NVIDIA Studio<\/i><\/a> technology accelerates creative workflows.<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

3D environment artist Jacinta Vu joins us In the NVIDIA Studio<\/em> this week, showcasing her video-game-inspired scene Royal Library<\/i> and 3D content creation workflow.<\/p>\n

Based in Cincinnati, Vu specializes in transforming 2D concept art into 3D models and scenes, a critical contribution she made to The Dragon Prince<\/i><\/a> from Wonderstorm Games.<\/p>\n

Vu\u2019s work emits a variety of colors and textures, from models to fully fleshed-out scenes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Her artistic endeavors often start by drawing low-poly game assets by hand that look like beautiful paintings, her original intention in stylizing Royal Library<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAround the time of Royal Library<\/i>, my style was very hand-painted and I wanted to work more towards League of Legends<\/i> and World of Warcraft<\/i> styles,\u201d Vu said. \u201cMy vision for this project, however, was very different. Royal Library<\/i> is based on concept art and very different if you compare it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fine attention to detail on individual models is the foundation of creating a stunning scene.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Vu began her creative workflow crafting 3D models in Autodesk Maya, slowly building out the larger scene. Deploying her GeForce RTX 2080 GPU<\/a> unlocked the GPU-accelerated viewport, enabling Vu\u2019s modeling and animation workflows to be faster and more interactive. This left her free to ideate and unlock creativity, all while saving valuable time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to make those fast, precise tweaks was really nice,\u201d Vu said. \u201cEspecially since, when you\u2019re making a modular kit for an interior versus an exterior, there is less room to mess up because buildings are made to be perfect structurally.\u201d<\/p>\n
