Hello all! One of my first times posting here.

This is a model I did for one of my college courses. Feedback is welcome!

Programs used: Maya, Zbrush, & Substance Painter

Lovely job on the texturing! The bakes came out very clean, and the wood is well done (which can be tricky to pull off). However I feel its grain may be a bit too harsh of an angle? Your uv's are great, the but packing could be improved, there's a lot of wasted space - which translates into missed potential quality to push out more resolution in your texturing. Great project though!

Thanks for the feedback! UV's are definitely something I'd like to go back and pack tighter. I figured I could probably overlap a few more pieces, as you really can't look at both sides at once, freeing up quite a bit more resolution. 

After getting a fresh look and comparing mine to the reference I used, I probably could of rotated the grain to be a bit more horizontal. I agree it looks a bit unnatural currently.
