Becca's windmill UE4

holypoly

HI!
This is my very first attempt to do cartoon style diorama. I always loved Becca Hallstedt's works and thinking, and I saw this windmill here a couple months ago I think.
The final version should run on Sketchfab with good fps, with rotation animation. I guess i have to optimize a lot, especcially with the materials and textures.
SInce I do it in my spare time alone, I dont get any objective critiques, so every comment might help!
Thank you!

Becca's windmill:


I started a week ago with some color study, material, polygon counting. and a very rough blocking

Recently tested the workflow on the stairs:



And started to sculpt the whole thing:

Little update on highpoly. Bending and using FFD modifier in max for the curves.

Made progress on high poly, currently I do not sculpt everything, instead squeezing, bending, and using FFD to make "unique" pieces.


In the meantime, I doing the lowpoly foundation, taking big care of the shiluette.

finally, after a busy period, I managed to work on this again. So painted some textures and started to put things in engine ::)
