Project Overview

During my time at Myethos, I was in charge of many figurine models, but my favorite was the "Silver Sachet with Grape Flower and Bird Pattern". This project was my sole responsibility and the figurine I worked on that received the broadest distribution. I was involved in the entire process from modeling, 3D printing, paint supervision, to factory feedback, essentially bringing it from concept to reality.

​

This character was a collaboration with the Chinese TV Series "National Treasure". The inspiration came from a historical artifact of the same name housed in the Shaanxi History Museum. It was historically associated with Yang Guifei, one of the most famous imperial consorts during the Tang Dynasty, renowned for its luxurious and exquisite aesthetic that captured the essence of that era.

​

The original artifact was very intricate, so much so that we revised our 3D model numerous times. Eventually, I hand-drew the artifact's Alpha map in Photoshop and mapped it onto a spherical model in Zbrush. From there, I extracted the thickness and proceeded with the carving, culminating in the effect we have today.
