A quick experiment (edit: now a WIP for the [mechanimal challenge](https://blog.sketchfab.com/sketchfab-3d-modeling-challenge-mechanical-animals/) I just discovered!) with hard-surface, and I still have a long way to go !

This model is (more than) based on ["The Timber Beneath"](http://www.scoobasteve.co.nz/2013/01/the-timber-beneath.html), a wonderful sculpture by **Stephen Lambert**.

The different "organs" as well as textures were just randomly thrown around, but with some more practicing, I definitely think I'll start enjoying this style and find a nice designing/modeling/texturing workflow, to hopefully design original models some day.

Also, none of the mechanisms make any "mechanical sense", which is why I did not animate the model. As before, that could change with some more attention brought to details, and a little bit of thinking before acting :D

Hi guys, 
see those right good renders of this helmet here on my arstation: http://www.artstation.com/lorenzomanini
For more content, follow my instagram: @lm_eidos ?

Don't bless me for this awesome mesh! My work was only a reshade, that I let you all for free, based on this project by @olmopotums, that you can also download for free here, so gorgeous: ?

Edit:
Fixed both textures and names. For missing maps, it seems to be a bug from sketchfab that cames with larger files.
This project was meant to have 24 textures:
20 (4x5) PBR maps (lamberts that you can altlas in one macro texture, with a bit of work in maya and photoshop, or use separately for more resolution)
+ 4 ORM maps (this project it's also prepared for UE4, so the ORM maps that you see are  just Ambient Occlusion, Roughness and Metallic compressed in a single RGB map for internal optimization in Unreal Engine)

A stylized game props pack made for games, apps, and 3D scenes.

I took references from Pinterest and modeled them in Maya. After creating the 3D models, I rendered them and painted the textures in Photoshop. Then I applied the textures to the models using Lambert materials in Maya. Finally, I uploaded the models to Sketchfab and adjusted the presentation there.

* High quality stylized props
* Assets optimized for games
* 5 props
* 1 texture atlas
* Lock, Lantern, Trophy, Donut and Popsicle.

This was the home of John Gideon Lewis his wife Virgina Thompson Lewis and their children, Beatrice, Clara, Ruth, Anderson Scott, Lambert, Beulah, John Jr., and Vinita. Lewis Sr. was a well-known civic leader, serving on many African American-led organizations including a caucus of the colored members of the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana, the Attucks Guards, and Grand Master of the Prince Hall Masons. Lewis Sr. also taught at First Public in Natchitoches in 1876.

WAGARA 03 (V3) encodes a Japanese pattern morph: Kikkō (亀甲) tortoiseshell hex lattice at the core continuously transforms into Shippō (七宝) interlocking circles toward the outer ring. 

The transition preserves the shared circle-based “DNA”: Bishamon-Kikkō depth illusion (3 rotational hex subsets) blends into Shippō-Tsunagi vesica-piscis peaks at circle intersections. 

Geometry is generated through the PAPP 6-stage pipeline (φ-RG → continued fraction → Pythagorean triple → S³ sampling → Hopf fibration → stereographic field), then mapped onto a full 360° sphere via dual Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection with a smooth ±15° equatorial blend.

Mesh: 57,122 verts / 114,240 faces, closed orientable manifold (χ=2, watertight), base radius 3.0, R₃d range [3.000, 3.900], max displacement 0.848, surface area 338.0, 100% outward orientation. 

Seed [3, 6, 120, 16], β*=36.25, (p,q)=(4,36), triple (1280,288,1312), V₄D=6335. 

Unique colors: 8,153.

Vous venez de voir deux trous noirs en train de fusionner ! Les trous noirs sont les restes d’étoiles massives. Ces étoiles sont très rares, ainsi étudier la fusion des trous noirs est donc un moyen nouveau d’étudier ces étoiles.

WAGARA 02 (V3) encodes Seigaiha (青海波) — the classic “blue ocean waves” motif from Heian-era court culture (linked to the Seigaiha gagaku dance; a symbol of endless peace). 

The pattern is built from staggered wave fans with 4 concentric arcs per fan (N_wave_fans=193, fans-in-disc=91, wave_radius=0.5, Δr=0.125, arc_sigma=0.018, arc_height=0.5, depth_step=0.06, center_glow=0.35), then wrapped onto a full 360° sphere via dual Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection with a smooth ±15° equatorial blend. 

Under the textile geometry sits the PAPP 6-stage pipeline (φ-RG→CF→triple→S³→Hopf→S²), adding subtle φ-harmonic interference without breaking the cm symmetry.

Mesh: 57,122 verts / 114,240 faces, χ=2, watertight, 100% outward normals. 

R₃d range [3.000, 3.850], max displacement 0.844, surface area 757.91, unique colors 29,350. 

Seed [2,4,180,16], β*=50.5, CF [50,2], triple (2496,200,2504), V₄D=11445.

LOKA 06 (Tapa) is a 360° spherical manifold exploring the "frozen music" of sacred architecture. 

This object maps the acoustic resonance residuals of the 56 Musical Pillars of the Vitthala Temple (Hampi) onto a high-resolution sphere via the PAPP pipeline.

Representing Tapo-loka (the plane of austerity and meditation), the geometry is generated by translating harmonic JI intervals into topological peaks. 

The relief follows a dual Lambert projection, creating a seamless 2-manifold that bridges 4D vibrational theory with 3D form.

Technical Specs:Series: LOKA V3 (Full Sphere)
Protocol: PAPP (4D-to-S3-to-Hopf projection)
Plane: Tapo-loka (Emerald, Gold, and Violet palette)
Mesh: 57,122 vertices | X=2 (Euler Characteristic)
Invariants: phi-harmonic scaling applied to acoustic frequency mapping.

A study in the convergence of lithic percussion, ancient resonance, and deterministic geometry.

Satya pushes the phi-convergence to its limit, resulting in a "Perfect Sphere" where the distinction between data-signal and geometric-form dissolves. 

It is a high-fidelity visualization of Sat-Chit-Ananda (Truth-Consciousness-Bliss) through the lens of 4D polytopic projection.

Technical Specs:Series: LOKA V3 (Full Sphere Singularity)
Plane: Satya-loka (White, Gold, and Ultraviolet palette)
Geometry: Watertight UV-sphere manifold, Dual Lambert projection.
Complexity: 57,122 vertices | 114,240 faces | X=2.

Asanoha Spherical Kumiko Shell is a true 360° sculpture: the traditional Asanoha (麻の葉) star lattice is grown as a triple-scale fractal directly on a perfect sphere (no “front/back”). 

The pattern is mapped via a dual Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection: one star core anchors the north pole, one anchors the south pole, with a seamless ±15° equatorial blend. 

Relief is created by radial displacement along surface normals (0.0–0.9, up to 30% of radius), forming structural ribs and deep shadow valleys. 

A PAPP substrate (S³ sampling + Hopf modulation) subtly tunes ridge sharpness and flow.
