Wooden chest modeled for subdivision smoothing preview in Maya. Holding edges will be deleted for the Game Res, this was to match the silhouette and to help baking before taking this sculpt into Zbrush and Sub Painter.

Wooden Chest Blockout to Near Game Res. *WIP
2.5 Hours
Modeled in Maya. Will texture later in Substance and setup in Unreal
Substance Painter and Unreal. The base model in Maya. This was my first full week with Substance Painter. I learned a lot
TDR Delay- settings in the Regedit.
Full-Screen Mode - Tab in Sub and F11 in Unreal
Thanks!
Been a long time since I used Unreal. Created some Base materials just using constants and some provided normal maps.
Pillar Base Material WIP*
This week was not as challenging as the first one. There was mostly UV unwrapping to do with minimal modeling. I enjoyed this listening to music mostly. The big takeaway here was to use automap.
For Curved shells - the steps are to select all curved edges. Cut. Then move and sew each piece onto a straight shell.
Unitize - First select all the edges of a tube shape. DESELECT all the edges you want to act as seems. Then move and sew.
Select Continous Edge - This is amazing
Proper planning is key I learned. You really need to nail the silhouette during block out, add holding edges in Game Res, and then go nuts it High Res. It might make more sense to decimate down to get the Game Res. I'm Tired.
WIP* Modeling a Pillar in Maya and Zbrush. So far have the undamaged version mainly done minus the smoothing errors on the top part of the cylinders.
ACG - Course: Mouse WIP*
Logitech M310. I do not have this mouse personally, however, I do have 2 Mice similar to model off of. Yesterday I did the Breakdown sheet. and Today I did a mix between lockout and mid-Res. I understand that I am mixing together the high poly bake, so there will be some back in forth. Instead of doing Low, Mid, High, I am doing a sort of hybrid to lay the groundwork, then deleting and optimizing later.
Tomorrow I need to get all the silhouette forms done and start UV' ing. After that add bevels and detail for High Res bake, and down rez-ing the In-Game Engine model.
