Euphonion: Huge music "box"

[AlexCom]

I`m still getting used to the workflow between max and mudbox... I still need to fix some bugs in some textures... I`ll get there!

Here is the upper part relatively done, I`m sure I`ll revise it later on for some slight modifications, but nonetheless, here it is!




Hope you like it,

Alex

p.s. I`ve been thinking a lot about the animation and how it will play out.. but still.. a long way till then

Really good shader/texture

How many polygons for this piece?

Is it a single object?

[AlexCom]

Thank you d4N! In total, the top part is at 150k(smoothed) And no, they are separate objects, it`s easier to sculpt like that + it`s better for a detailed object, if it was a game prop or something, a single object would suffice.

Here is a small update with the textures, managed to somewhat finish the cornice of the euphonion, still I have to paint some more details but I think it`s getting there.



Any C&C would be much appreciated!

Updates soon will follow

cool mapping! It is going really good !

[AlexCom]

Thanks simonhc!

Got bored of painting wood, so I started playing with metal and the mechanical stuff.

Still a long way until completion...



Hope you like it,

keep it up! Steel do not feels like still though. Some glossy reflections would do good.

[AlexCom]

Thanks simonhc, fixed it a bit

Here are some more textures... progress is slow... want to buy more time



Still tweaking the settings/maps of materials.. to get it just right

More to come, hopefully soon!

Here is a small update, I will work a bit more on the backplate wood, make it lighter and a bit more desaturated... I barely have time to work on it this week, I`m conducting a small workshop + work.. it`s bit hard to work on this, tho I miss it.. but come next week there will be more updates.. maybe with the studio equipment as well



Thanks for viewing
