Lizard Head

sketchfab

I created this piece during a class focused on modeling, emphasizing style and form. In my spare time, I decided to add texture and scales to the creature using alphas. The Low and High poly Maya screenshots, along with the UVs, demonstrate my workflow. I started by sketching out a concept, then moved into Z-Brush for modeling. Once satisfied with my LOD, I brought the model (over 3 million polygons) into Maya and worked on re-topography, ultimately reducing it to a lower number suitable for gaming purposes.
