Simple Crate and Barrel Part 1

Proxy Barrel

1. Beauty shot rendered in Maya's Arnold:

2. Establishing scale in Maya and importing the first iteration proxy to my Unreal Engine project:

3. Creating an image plane within a camera to ensure the correct proportions with reference. I modeled the proxy barrel with relatively low poly, as my reference is very stylized. I kept some of the edges using the crease tool, and later, I plan to smooth them down in ZBrush.

 

4. Reimported the finished proxy mesh into Unreal Engine and applied a basic gray material to the mesh.
