It’s been an absolute age since I’ve had the time or energy to do any personal 3D, mainly due to work and social commitments. Figured while I have some time on my hands the next few days I’d blow the dust off and do some quick 3D! Spend last night and a bit of today just modelling this chest, I had a lot of fun with “Sea of Thieves” and really wanted to do something in that style. Ended up just reproducing a chest from that game, but hey ho, it was a fun excercise.
Broke my usual workflow of having a finished low poly model before going into high; instead went straight in for a high poly model and then worked it down to a more acceptable triangle count.
