RealBlox

Logo of RealBlox with a globe and the letters R and B, superimposed on a background of a field of grass under a blue sky with clouds.

Created in 2021, RealBlox was an ambitious visual overhaul project for the Roblox platform, with the goal of being the first high-resolution texture pack for the game. The project aimed to transform the platform’s low-resolution, unrealistic assets by pushing its graphical capabilities to their limits.

RealBlox featured custom-made materials with resolutions up to 8K, meticulously crafted to strict PBR standards. This included a realistic water redesign using an in-house fluid simulation in Blender. All materials were created from the ground up using a professional pipeline including GIMP, Substance Designer, and Quixel Mixer. The project was concluded after a few months and was later made obsolete due to a policy change from the platform, which disabled the ability to load custom resources.
