Student Project, 2024
Software: Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter
Quick Overview
This design is based on the story of Pandora’s Box. Often depicted as a large chest, this box, however, is based on an Art Nouveau style jewelry box.
Progress
The game asset was modeled in Maya and sculpted in ZBrush. The sculpt was then baked and texturized in Substance Painter.
Based on the narratives and stories of Pandora’s Box, the design and colors are inspired by what Pandora’s features might have looked like. My goal was to make the box look inconspicuous and unassuming at first. Following the motto “When the evils of the box were purged, what remained was hope.” This version of Pandora’s Box should not only stand for destruction, but also represent hope after evil.
