SKETCHBOOK - Sam fisher

Got an idea I wanted to make some kind of prop and this old phone would be sweet. I like the wood look on nr 2. I like nr 1 the most cause it have the most details in it.

I think for this i will either use some 3d max viewport shader or marmorset to present it. And i will probably HP model in max and bake it to low poly. Have no idea how good it is to bake normal maps in max but I wanna learn that.

Im gonna go for a 2048x2048 diffuse, normal, spec, reflecrion map, 512x512 cube map.

Any tips ideas about it? good bad portfolio pieace?

It's an alright portfolio piece, but it's never going to be an amazing piece. I mean, it's just a phone. Now maybe if you made a tiny little scene/diorama with it in it? Then that might get pretty interesting.

Little update! The little string there on the side is the phne cord, Thought id bake that and then tile it and bend it afterwards. I have no idea what those nobs on the bottom there are for cus i cant see under it. But the two on the bottom will have cord on them later on.
Feels like the lowpoly would be next if i havent forgot something.

Normal bake and low poly pretty much done. This is the raw unedited normalmap. Tried to get some kind of phone cable extruded there but it looks a bit stiff.
