King Tut Head Piece in UE4

King Tut CG Model in Unreal Engine 4

I recently went to the King Tut exhibit, and I took 33 pictures of the golden head piece replica and brought them into 123D Catch for processing.

I then sculpted away in Zbrush after I fixed the symmetry.

Then I decimated the model down to about 16,500 polygons and UV unwrapped the low res version in Modo.

And then I baked the normal maps in with Xnormal, painted on the color maps in Modo, edited the color maps into black and white metallic maps in Photoshop, imported it all into UE4, learned how to do a simple matinee, and then exported the image sequence into Sony Vegas for rendering!

(I love PBR textures in UE4!)

Wow just wow!
Excellent step by step instructions man! Fantastic work
Love it when people describe all their steps so crappy modelers like myself can get some great tips
Thanks once again!

Thanks QBert and Sean Gribbin for the encouragement! I find when I keep track of my daily progress on a project, it keeps me motivated to push through any of the obstacles that may pop up.

Happy UE4’ing!

The entire piece is simply amazing but the video really accentuates the attention to detail, specifically how the bead work around the neck looks hand crafted and painted.
