THIS POST IS OUTDATED. AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS, I’M WORKING ON MY UGC APPLICATION, MIGHT START UPDATING THIS PORTFOLIO IN THE FUTURE! 
Hello! My name is BankBend and I am a 3d artist and UGC concepter. I have almost 2 years of experience working in blender and I have skills such as modeling, sculpting, UV-unwrapping and texturing. I use a combination of Blender, Substance Painter and Photoshop in my work.
I am an active member of the ROBLOX community, working with many game devs to provide high quality 3D-work. I also spend multiple hours every day to better and broaden my UGC portfolio, which you can view further down on this post.
Since I applied for the UGC program, I have made another 30+ unique UGC concepts and I also have 14 Star Creator collabs and 3 UGC Creator collabs under my belt!
I have also worked with a handfull of game developers by producing game assets. Most of the games I’ve worked on are currently under development, but I will update this portfolio as soon as they’re published.
Published Games I have contributed to

Brain in Jar
Brain in Jar
I’m very happy with the fact that I managed to fit this whole texture on to a 256px image! To make the brain, I first sculpted a high poly brain, after that I made a low poly version. Then I baked all details from the high poly to the low poly brain. I then textured everything just as normal! I’m very happy with how this turned out!

Hamster Home Backpack
Hamster Home Backpack
I wanted to do a concept with animals and thought to myself? What animal has not been done very much in the catalog before? Well… it’s hamsters! I wanted to make a scene concept and made this cage-like concept with the little hamster and his toys and stuff. I wanted to add more stuff, but because of UGC limitations, I had to choose wisely on what parts I wanted to include. I am quite happy with the result!

Watermelon Backpack
Watermelon Backpack
I usually texture my concepts in Substance Painter, but for this one I wanted to try out a more “soft” look and not realistic. I textured this concept in photoshop and painted everything from scratch! I really like this concept and am very pleased with the result!
Vertices: 969
Tris: 1,708
Texture size: 256x256px
Big Nosed Man
Big Nosed Man
Vertices: 1,169
Tris: 2,334
Texture size: 256x256px
This was a practice model for my sculpting skills as well as realistic texturing. Every render you see has a 256px texture. The model is sculpted and retopologiesed by hand, to maximize topology quality.
Bulldozer Mount
Bulldozer Mount
My first mount! Now you can ride around in a menacing yellow bulldozer and shovel away your enemies! I thought it was very fun making a mount and texturing it. I’m happy with the result!

Texture size: 256x256px
Pumpkin Backpack
Pumpkin Backpack
Since it’s currently halloween time, I just had to make something halloween themed! Since halloween is supposed to be quite creepy, I went for a very realistic look and followed real image references to complete this texture. I’m very pleased with both the model and the texture! As always, all images you see in my portfolio are within UGC limits, both texture- and polygon-wise.
Vertices: 887
Tris: 1,541
Texture size: 256x256px
Laser Mech Helmet
Laser Mech Helmet
This helmet started out really simple, but as I continued modeling it, I just kept on adding elements. First I added those “breathing-fans” on the side and I ended up making two laser pointers on top. Here’s the “Laser Mech Helmet”!
Vertices: 1,166
Tris: 2,034
Texture size: 256x256px
Rusty Welders Helmet
Rusty Welders Helmet
I am heavily practicing realism and it was really fun to experiment with rusty metal. I had to work quite a while in substance painter before I got that old “worn” look. I think it looks best in Roblox Studio for some reason. Definitely happy with the result!

Flanders' Hot Cocoa
Flanders’ Hot Cocoa
My first TV-reference. Now that winter is coming, I felt like making something that will keep us all warm and comfortable. Here is the very generous Flanders’ Hot Cocoa in ROBLOX. Enjoy!
Vertices: 1,037
Tris: 1,944
Texture size: 256x256px
Hunter Set
Hunter Set
This set consists of a shoulder armor piece and a cape. It’s supposed to look like a combination between animal fur and metal armor to both keep warm, while being protected from enemies.
Hunter Cape
Vertices: 719
Tris: 1,392
Texture size: 256x256px
Hunter Shoulder Armor
Since I want it to support animations, it would be sold separately for each shoulder!
Vertices: 1,155
Tris: 1,993
Texture size: 256x256px
Devil Mask
Devil Mask
This is one of my favorites. Once again, I made something with horns, but don’t worry below this concept there are no more horns 
(At least not at the time of writing). Anyway I’m happy with the result!

Tris: 2,156
Texture size: 256x256px
Low Poly LED Head
Low Poly LED Head
This item has only 150 vertices. I wanted to try something with that “glowing” effect you see. Making the actual mesh was quite easy, however texturing proved to be more difficult. Since we are limited to a 256x256px texture with UGC items, I needed to think differently. Because I wanted to have sharp lines between every face, I decided to do overlapping UVs since basically every UV face would be textured the same. I am very satisfied with the result!
Vertices: 150
Tris: 296
Texture size: 256x256px
I don’t know why, but I always think my concepts look better in Roblox Studio 
Here’s the texture
First Hair
First Hair
I’ve always wanted to try out making hair for roblox. I have never done hair before and I am honestly pretty happy with the result!
Vertices: 1,164
Tris: 1,696
Texture size: 256x256px
I made my own hair texture as well.
Soda Jetpack
Soda Jetpack
This is totally different from what I usually make. Most of the time, I make some kind of realistic helmet or something similar, but today I wanted to make something with flipped normals. I had this idea to make a “Soda Set” which would include this soda jetpack and a soda drinking helmet. Anyway I thought it was really fun to do something different and texture with text. Also, since it’s supposed to be a homemade jetpack, it has some cheap blue rope stuck to some cardboard and one of the bottles is busted!
Vertices: 1,171
Tris: 2,204
Texture size: 256x256px
Ugly Teeth Mask
Ugly Teeth Mask
I originally wanted to make something halloween themed, but it kinda just turned into… well this. It was challenging optimizing the UV-space to maximize detail for the teeth.
Vertices: 693
Tris: 1,324
Texture size: 256x256px
Red & Black Helm
Red & Black Helm
This one took around 2 days to complete. I had to play around with the color combinations before I ended up going with black & red. I was also hesitant on choosing an open front or using the black with the red glowing eyes.
Vertices: 955
Tris: 1,716
Texture size: 256x256px
Evil Eye Shield
Evil Eye Shield
I like horns. The eye is inspired by the eye of sauron! It is supposed to watch over a player’s back during gameplay!

Plaid Lumberjack Hat
Plaid Lumberjack Hat
I wanted to do a hat from cloth and not a metal helmet like I usually do. It turned out really great actually! I even made some creases in substance painter! All in all - very happy with the result.

Texture size: 256x256px
Tree Mask
Tree Mask
OLD CONCEPT!!! I wanted to do something along the line of elvish/fantasy woods inspired. So I made a wooden mask with little leafs as if it had come straight from a tree!

Texture size: 256x256px
Chicken Laying GIANT Egg
Chicken Laying GIANT Egg
OLD CONCEPT!!! This concept I made in a night. It was a lot of fun trying to texture a chicken so realistically. It doesn’t match my usual style but I think it’s fun to go out of your comfort zone!

UGC Creator Collabs:

Star Creator Collabs:
I have done 14+ star creator collabs (Some are currently under review). What I like about them, is that I can publish my work to the catalog. What I don’t like, is that the star creator decides what I should make and how it should look. I therefore can’t really show my creative side as I do in my UGC concepts. I do like that they show some of the things I'm capable of when it comes to UGC. Anyway, here they are:
Dalgona Umbrella Cookie - Roblox
AlphaGG Red & Blue Sword - Roblox
You can see all my concepts in my UGC PLACE game on Roblox: BankBend's UGC Place - Roblox
I’m also including my documentation here, both because it’s required on the UGC application and because it reassures that my models are legitimate.

Personal work I did in my spare time:
Personal Work
Most of these are months if not years old, haven’t gotten around to doing much personal work recently due to my interest in ugc + other commissions.
Gingerbread House (12-22-2020)
(I didn’t make all of the props, but I made the house, the fence, the cobblestone, the environment and the candy canes)

Was just testing
Intro for Youtuber (10-09-2020)
I made this intro as a commission for a youtuber. Music by: oksami

This was for an imaginary product called “HotCase”. I also borrowed some of the props here from Sketchfab.
Airplane Animation (07-22-2021)
I don’t always work like this, but most of the time I do.
- Look for inspiration or go by imagination
- Drawing a rough outline in photoshop
- Modelling in Blender or sculpting in ZBrush
- Retopologise or deleting unnecessary vertices
- UV Unwrapping in Blender
- Texturing in Substance Painter
If you wish to work with me in any way - contact me - my COMMISIONS are OPEN. I however don’t want to or have the time to work on a long term project.
I can make most things when it comes to 3d-modelling, just contact me and we’ll see what we can do.
I prefer Robux 
, but PayPal 
works too - I go by DevEx rates.
Commission Terms of Service
