- And done, asset is complete and ready for game import. Had some annoying issues with this one, stuff kept crashing or bugging out, even had to switch PCs for baking textures. My main desktop was running out of memory, the highpoly model for this was in the 60-70 million polys range ... The perks of using a 10 year old PC with only 8gb of ram xD

- Anyway, I think it came out good, I like it :). It's a bit highpoly (about 70k tris) but that's to be expected since most of the model is double sided. The textures are also slightly blurrier because of that. Even at 4k, you tend to loose sharpness quite quickly when dealing with models like these that have insides.

- This post might look a bit out of the ordinary. For this asset, I decided to do a turntable vid, just for fun/curiosity, and for whatever reason Patreon doesn't allow for different types of media to be mixed in a post up top, so the usual showcase images have to go in this text box. They're still pretty big, resolution-wise, so you can still open those in a new tab if you want to zoom in and take a closer look.

- About the turntable video, please excuse the poor quality/graininess, I just didn't have the hours it would take to render it out at higher quality right now. Still, ignoring the quality, I think it still showcases the model pretty nicely, you get to see it in motion, interacting with the lighting and in a lot more angles, something you wouldn't get with the normal images. If you think this is a cool idea for showcasing things, feel free to let me know and I might do it more often :)
