Project 1: Still Life

For this project we had to pick a reference image and try to match ours as close to it as we could. We needed 5 assets (including the surface it was on), with one required to be a Skull and another a Fruit.

I have completed all the work in this project, from modelling to texturing and then rendering.

You'll notice that the micro height and even the patterns on the Hour Glass are all controlled via displacement maps, made possible by subdividing the geometry at render time. This has allowed for tight control over my shapes while keeping the base geometry quite low poly.

Detail Renders:

The Skull & Candle were both sculpted in Zbrush, with the Zbrush displacement map added to a displacement map from Substance Painter to achieve the final look.

Turntables:

Project 2: Binoculars & Case

For this project I created a pair of Binoculars with their Case. I took inspiration from an old pair of WW2 binoculars, to achieve a more weathered look. 

Again this entire project is my own work.

This was a fun project to texture which offered unique challenges in the placement of subtle wear and tear.

The grip on the Binoculars along with the stitching on the Case were driven by displacement maps from Substance Painter.

Individual Renders:

Turntables:

(A fun little project to put a smile on your face)

Thank you for taking the time to look through these projects!
