Practicing high poly hard surface modelling in blender, it still has a bunch of issues, but I am pretty happy with it so far.
Feedback is welcome (especially topo / edgeflow)

Only diffuse and alpha maps though. No normal maps yet.

Yea, it will be finished around January.

It's actually using texturing methods similar to HL2, which is a goal of the assignment. Pretty much everything is photo sourced and textured with Photoshop.

DAE Diorama Blockout - By The Ocean - 3D model by marnamai (@MaartenFrooninckx) Blockout and cheap procedural water mesh experiment Diorama assignment for 3D1 @ Dae Howest - DAE Diorama Blockout - By The Ocean - 3D model by marnamai (@MaartenFrooninckx)

Update on my diorama assignment for uni.
WIP blockout.

I have been experimenting with low poly procedural ocean mesh and using shrinkwrapped and decimated meshes for the wave decals.

Shame @sketchfab.bsky.social does not support material blending.

Done with the unwrap, not super confident on the quality (and will probably need to redo it when discovering issues while texturing), but atleast the AO is working pretty well now.
