Candle Model: Game Prop
Project Type
3D Model
Date
November 2023
Tools
Made using Maya and Substance Painter 3D
Timeline
1) Search for references
2) 3D model in Maya using the box modeling method
3) Unwrap the UVs of the model
4) Smooth model
5) Texture and color on Substance Painter 3D
6) Fix model and UVs
7) Continue Texturing and Coloring
8) Import to Sketchfab
Process
The process began with searching for reference images to guide the design. I then used the box modeling technique in Maya to create the initial 3D model.
After modeling, I unwrapped the UVs to prepare the model for texturing, then smoothed the edges to give it a more polished look. I moved on to Substance Painter 3D to texture and color the model, refining both the model and UVs along the way. After final adjustments to the textures, I imported the completed prop into Sketchfab to showcase the finished piece.
Overview
This project was one of my first experiences in 3D modeling. I am very proud of how this model came out. My professors and many of my peers were impressed by the realism and detail in my model.
