#Mayterials 14 - Crumbling
Did Oreos last year so I did Chips Ahoy this year! Started with a 3D Scan as a base. Clean up / stylization pass in ZBrush along with broken versions. Arranged some by hand in ZBrush and filled the rest in Designer.

Not much to say about this one. Made some metal panels because I found an interesting design while looking up refs. I added some grunge & rust to make it a bit more interesting. 🤷♂️

#Mayterials 12 - Filigree
I know TECHNICALLY Filigree is ornamentation made with fine wire but wikipedia says it's often used to describe more general ornamental designs and that's good enough for me!

Nothing too crazy today. Put together this old plaster wall and leveraged some earlier work to add in some exposed brick.

I've been excited for this prompt since day one. This one is HEAVILY inspired by the Gloom from #wayfinder and @svvat3dart.bsky.social's take on the material he had shared last month.

#Mayterials 03 - Workshop
Originally, I was just going to do the brick wall alone but I decided to layer on a secondary material to add a bit more of that messy hobbyist garage workshop feel.

I wish I had a bit more time to get the wood coloration dialed in and make it feel more aged and worn. Overall though, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. 🤷♂️

Didn't realize today was the 30th anniversary of Chrono Trigger. Easily one of the best SNES games & one of the best JRPGs of all time.
Might have to play through it again since it's been a while since I've picked it up.

#chronotrigger was released for the SNES 30 years ago today. It shares rarified air with the greatest games ever made. I still remember my first journey to the Millennium Fair - and later on meeting Robo.

Finished Rock 06 hours ago but ZBrush REFUSED to render a turntable all day. Finally managed to get one kicked out without an error though!

Wrapped up the 2nd version of Rock 04 just in time but I'm not as happy with it as I was with yesterday's. I wish I had more time to polish it up but it is what it is. Oh well.🤷♂️
Hopefully ZBrush doesn't cause any more issues going forward.
