Texturing Practice

nyxnim

Hello Everyone, school year has started again and while all my classmates are busy with the meetmat challenge, I've decided to do things a bit differently and texture a prop with displacement ( uh-oh ) so that i have the same challenge as them but on a different prop.

As for the Prop i Decided to go with a very fancy medieval water canteen.

The Modelling went a bit slow because i had to find the sweet spot of enough polygons that it doesn't look too lowpoly up close and low enough polygons that using displacement becomes too easy ( hence the challenge )



In the End The Main Mesh is sitting at 2000 polygons overall, whereas the chain i made is at 35k, because i was making it proportionate to the reference.

Over the Weekend i did a first texturing pass and rough blockout of where everything should be, i scrapped so many ideas and went through so many different ideas, because i didn't wanna do the overused viking theme, bud sadly it would have been a HUGE time investment trying to create the trims i needed for my actual ideas ( celtic-knights of the round table / Something Themed around the Achaemenid Empire )

I Also Fiddled with it a bit in Marmoset and set it up in a basic scene to see how it looks.

Hey looks cool for school,

Are you going for, it's brand new or trying to 1:1 replicate the reference?

Hmmm, the chain might be problematic (high) but then again it might be fine.

Are their limits to whatever the project details are?

or 

was it make the "meetmat" or do your own thing as directions?

Looking alright so far, dark on dark idk about but other than that if you can 1:1 the visual appeal of the reference then i would like this more and feel you achieved the goal, whatever the goal is.  

The "celtic-knights of the round table", sounds like a neat idea, tough to say if you should do it anyway tough to say.
