Floater Bake Onto Quarter Symmetry 3k Poly Model

This study has included fundamental steps in the process of making optimized 3D models to be live rendered, to seamlessly align into 3D asset production pipelines; extended by the baking process of floaters with high details.

3D MODELING + FLOATER BAKING skill sets applied:

0.0 research for and analysis of detailed references

1.0 blockout and refine the final shilouette

2.0 Model an edge flow optimized MiP model, as the base mesh
2.1 Add details to the HiP model, as well as floater

3.0 triangulate the LoP model to be projected on
3.1 unwrap LoP mesh into UV space preserving texel density

4.0 derive a cage to encapsulating floaters and the HiP model
4.1 project the high resolution details onto the LoP UVs

5.0 stage the final asset and setup the render attributes
5.1 lit and render the final deliverable
