Gold Ornaments - Osaka Castle

For some time I worked on certain gold elements that would be used in the Osaka castle. For the tigers, we looked for exact references of how they look in reality, to correctly capture the silhouette and expression of the animals. Each of the tigers was different, in a different pose and with a different face. At the time of making them, I worked on designing a 2D height map, to then be able to project it on a plane and be able to sculpt in Zbrush and, finally, give the finish, color, material definition and certain details (as would be the tiger's stripes) directly in Substance Designer.
I also created the gold material for elements like the fish sculpture.
