Layla's Online Portfolio

Hello hello, all. If you've made it to this page it probably means you need me as a modeller. Or more likely I need work, because I always need work.
You may be able to tell this page was made with neocities, I'm not muuuuuuch of a programmer, but enough to be able to use HTML.
So, first off:

About Me

My experience modelling is almost entirely making things for minecraft modders. I've worked most prolificly on HBM's Nuclear Tech, a self-described
"flaming wreck". Most of the pictures you will see in this portfolio are from actual features or cut content from the mod. I've been working
on and off for about 4 years now, and picked up quite a few blender & texture painting skills along the way. So I present to you my body of work, in Chronological Order.

The Portfolio

Pre-Minecraft Modding

This is a very old, disorganised set of sprites I made when I was 10. I like to include it when talking about my body of work
because it demonstrates how long I've loved texturing and 3d modelling. You may be able to tell it's a hypothetical set of Armor
and tools from Terraria.

Pre-baking models

The following models were all made before I discovered baking lighting into textures was.. a thing. So they all look a bit flat. Enjoy!

The first item I have to show you is a model of the SPAS-12 Shotgun. This is the first model I made that really
paid attention to detail with, and it shows.

This is a model of a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator. If you don't know what that is, good for you.

A Tank, for storing fluids. This was inspired in large part by a train car from an old mobile game called Pocket Trains.


A retro classic: the Tau Cannon, from Half-Life. I enjoyed painting the metallic shine on the copper section.


A fluid-mixer-machine-thing.


A group of plants, and an incubator for them.



A type of Heat Exchanger modelled for a modular machine system.


Three very, very recognisable Bombs: Fat man, the Gadget, and Ivy Mike. The Gadget originally had fully modelled wires, but the
lead dev made me change them for performance reasons :<




If anyone recognises what this is, I owe you a pint ;>


The Mini-Nuke Launcher from Fallout. I never got around to texturing because my PC broke immediately after making it :p



And the Hidden Tesla tower from Clash of Clans!


AO baked models

At some point, from a group of railway enthusiast modellers working on a different mod, I found out that I could bake lighting
into the texture, and my work got a lot more dimensional.

This is probably the most time-consuming project I've worked on to date. A fully detailed model of a Class 03 British Rail
Diesel Shunter- it probably took me 2 days in all.



And not to long afterwards, I began (and never finished) a similarly insane project on a Steam Locomotive!


This is an Industrial Electrolysis Cell, the type they use to smelt Aluminium. Quite beefy, and very dirty-looking :D



The following is a type of wood/oil burner. It was inspired after a particularly miserable January walk in the UK countryside, where I
saw a burner that looked exactly like this. With the beautiful rust patterns on the chimney, I loved it so much that I modelled it.


Next, I have to show you a number of models I made for a game jam in early 2023. You can still find it on Itch.io, it's called Dieselpunk.
These are just the main few assets from the Game, but I modelled and textured almost everything there, from the Title to the
little alien spaceships. In order: An Oil derrick, An Oil Storage Tank, The Domed City and the Planet.





A pair of very rusty looking industrial ventilation units for freezing, distilling and pressurising air, made for a space addon.




Some imaginary Bombs! 3 of them, in fact. I'm quite proud of these, even in comparison to some of the flasher models, like the Diesel Train.
In a "less is more" kind of way. In 2 different colour schemes.



Oh hello, what's this? ;>



Finally, to wrap things up, here's a couple of more texture-related things I've made.




Oh, and one more thing - some old-ish Ultrakill fanart.
