The Lover's Watch - Prop (UE5)

Welcome to "The Lover's Watch"! 

A prop and project done during my free time with the goal to improve my modeling and texturing skills!

Let's start this off with a short video show-off :)

Beauty shot

 I began this project by following along Aniket Rawat's tutorial on a pocket watch, then added my own touch to it. Thanks a lot and check their ArtStation out! aniketrawat.artstation.com

Renders and close-ups

This prop was modeled in Blender, UV-unwrapped and animated in Maya, baked and textured in Substance 3D Painter and finally rendered in Unreal Engine 5.

Beauty Shots

Since glass wasn't really a necessity for me I made the glass and chain to add more logic to the presentation. The glass and chain share one texture map.

3D model and textures available on Sketchfab

The model uses two 4k textures and is approximately 46k tris

Aplhas

Dial alpha texture used when baking low poly.

A lot of time was spent trying to solve baking issues. Baking by mesh name fixed many of them, thanks to Daniel Edström (maurdrin1.artstation.com) for the tip!

Dust texture for particle effect.

Thanks to Adam Jonsson here at Adit Studios for the tip - this added a lot to the mood in my presentation!
