About the Project
This project showcases the creation of a hero prop: a detailed recreation of a Sony Trinitron CRT TV. Beyond technical modeling, the focus was on conveying a story. The TV was designed to look as though it had been abandoned for years, showing weathering, dirt, and material aging.
The prop was built using a real-time optimized pipeline, delivering a game-ready asset with enough quality for cinematic close-ups. Attention was given to realistic surface wear, texture detail, and storytelling through materials.

Pipeline Description
- Modeling: Created the 3D model in 3ds Max, focusing on accurate proportions, clean topology, and efficient UV unwrapping.
- Texturing: Used Substance Painter to create detailed surface textures, emphasizing material wear, dirt buildup, and surface imperfections, with PBR workflow for realism.
- Rendering: Rendered final images using Maya with Arnold, ensuring cinematic-quality presentation while preserving storytelling elements in the textures.
