The Hive was originally a 2D image by famous concept artist Sang Han. It was one of the most widely acclaimed concept art piece to come out of the Dominance Wars IV contest. Recently, 3D master Jarred Everson was planning on giving it a 3D life using, among other tools, Substance Designer, I thought it would be a great opportunity to watch the development of ‘The Hive from 2D to 3D.

"SUBSTANCE HAS OPENED THE DOORS TO NEAR INFINITE POSSIBILITIES" - Jarred Everson
Jarred Everson has worked in Broadcast, Film, and the Game industry for over a decade now. He's shipped four titles, currently working on his fifth at a rather large southern California game developer.
Everson works from home, knowing that he would be doing 3D all day long at an office. "I work from home because I can create whatever I want, it's the more artistic side to what I do, I love my job, and the work I do, but at home I get to do everything the way I want to," he says. "I get to conceptualize, model, texture, light, paint, characters, and environments using tools that work best for me, there are no deadlines at home, so I have time to play with different tools."
