8h ArtTest 1.7k Poly Model - E2E
This Asset has been produced during an ArtTest within 8 hours (reference provided at test start - randomly)...
HI-POLY MODELING + PBR skill sets applied:
0.0 analysis of references
1.0 blockout and refine the final shilouette
2.0 model LoP; and Floater details - to be joined into HiP mesh
3.0 bevel edges towards HiP and test proper reflections
3.1 unwrap LoP mesh into UV space preserving texel density
4.0 generate the high resolution maps from the HiP details
4.1 bake those details then onto LoP UVs
5.0 stage the final asset and setup the shader
5.1 lit and render the final deliverable
