Augmentation

"Augmentation"
This project was a fun challenge to create this tangle of gold. I found the original image created by the incredible Gary Sanchez https://www.artstation.com/artwork/W22yl3 and was instantly inspired to recreate the flow of his image. The gold ribbons were such a fun challenge to see what the best way to recreate them would be. I found that poly modelling, while tedious, was personally my best option. I also used this as an opportunity to learn Unreal's Material Layer Blend system, and setup a vertex color blending solution. I want to thank my peers at Certain Affinity for giving me tons of valuable feedback. They helped me rework the composition as well as lighting, modeling, and material work. I am grateful to have so many amazing artist take time out of their schedules to lend me their eyes and knowledge.
