due to a lack of free time, i have decided to put the rainforest in the philippines project on hold as i feel i currently can’t dedicate the time it deserves. so instead of tackling something so big, i have decided to work on some smaller, more contained projects that i will for the first mini project, i decided to try something a bit different. i always wanted to model and sculpt a wicker basket, as i because the basket curves in a lot of different ways, i decided to start constructing a blockout using curves. i created a mesh in the shape i wanted, and then subdivided the surface. i then extracted the edges as curves. this allowed me to create curves that were perfectly i then extruded a circular curve along each of these curves. using curves meant that each of these cylinders had history, so i could manipulate the curves and modify the mesh. i then created a rope, handle and supporting pieces, which i deformed along more curves! i then took this mesh into zbrush to start sculpting. i tried to sculpt as much damage in zbrush, but as the polycount was already crazy high it became difficult, so i decided i would do more in substance painter after. i then baked this down as flat and as low poly as possible. i baked an alpha map to give perforations between the wicker. after the initial bake, i decided the handle and rope were very low poly. this would be ideal for a game, but as this is a portfolio piece i decided to give the handle a bit more attention. i then took this into substance painter where i textured it. i am pretty happy with the results so far, but i decided to continue working on this to see if i could get something really special out of it. i decided i would fill the wicker basket with a variety of foliage and flowers to create a more complete prop. i started by researching flowers that i though would work, and trying to figure out what elements i would need from each. i started by creating chamaedorea in zbrush, which i then baked flat.
