Barrel & Wagon Wheel (Old Western Saloon Project)
These models of an old barrel and wagon wheel were created as environment props for my recent Western Saloon project. This was my first attempt at sculpting in Blender, which I found to be a very relaxing process that I look forward to exploring further. Using Marmoset Toolbag, I baked the sculpted details onto low-poly versions of the models, which were then textured in Substance Painter. I also used Marmoset to create the final renders.
With the project’s texel density set at 1024 px/m, I had to carefully pack each model’s UVs, making full use of the available UV space and ensuring the textures maintained consistent detail with the other assets in the scene.
