I modeled this tree, called the Sassy Tree, in Maya. Here is the base low poly mesh. In my junior film, the forest is alive and reacting to the main characters destruction. This Sassy Tree is going to come alive and fight back. Currently, I am working on rigging the tree and making a detailed sculpt of the tree bark in Zbrush. Next, I will bake the high poly and low poly meshes and texture in Substance.
Sangeeta Greenwald and myself are co-directing our junior film, Rooted.
