With the emergence of NFTs in the world of digital art and cryptocurrency, I thought I would brush up my 3D skills with this raptor model. Built with Maya using Photoshop for textures.
The first step was to build the wireframe. Reference images can be used for each orthographic view to achieve the proper shape.
I spent alot of time creating the textures, experimenting with elephant skin and komodo dragon scales. Lighting and Ambient Occlusion render passes combine to form the final composite.
