Module 4 - Environment: Ship Interior Part 02

 For this week we needed to finish the high res sculpt of our assigned asset. For the chandelier I wanted something a little more exciting than what I initially had so I redid a bit of the original proxy and pushed for cleaner geometry.

I decided that since we have the nautical theme and the some of the environment team members were going to incorporate some marine life to their sculpts I wanted to include a metal jellyfish as the cage for my lantern / candle that will hang off of the wooden chandelier in the ship. 

Here is the geometry I sent over to Zbrush. I still have some clean up to do to get the poly count down but this base gives me a better idea of what the overall shape of the game res will look like.

I started off with a base layer of wood grain for the overall chandelier, and then created two alphas from images I found to add some more carved decals on top of the initial grain of the wood. After importing them i then smoothed out the alphas and added some extra detail cuts with the Orb brush set: 

Then here is my current high res rendered in Zbrush: 

since the chandelier will be symmetrical I only have to do one section and either duplicate it in maya  or unreal to save time and have an easier time baking once this is transferred into Substance Painter.
