3D City Props - Mailbox
This mailbox was supposed to be a complementary prop for the trash container I made previously, but as I advanced through the project, I decided to give it more attention and make it a more optimized and texture-detailed one. I had a blast working on the model optimization and trying to create its texture in a way to enhance its story as a city prop. Modeled in Blender, details sculpted in ZBrush, textured in Substance 3D Painter, rendered in Marmoset and sent to Unreal Engine as a game-ready key/hero prop.
Opted for a more optimized geometry, grabbing some surface shifts, surface transitions and bolts from the high poly model.
Side faces with most of the decals.
Close-up on the upper part, the "focal point" of the prop, I guess.
Definitely not the focal point, but there you go, some love to its feet.
Comparison between the worn-up texture version and the base painted ("clean prop") texture version.
Decals created for this project.
