• Modeling was done in Maya with attention to clean topology and real-time
optimization.
Russian
• UV unwrapping was performed for efficient texture space usage and minimal
distortion.

• Baking of normal, AO, and other maps was done in Marmoset Toolbag to ensure
accurate detail transfer.

• Texturing in Substance Painter emphasized varying levels of metal wear —
including chipped paint, rust buildup, worn edges, and exposed bare metal — to
convey age and long-term outdoor use.

• Graffiti, scratches, and dirt were added to reinforce the narrative of an urban,
neglected object.
