Trap Sculpts

Broke up the pieces so most of them can be baked once and mirrored.

Trap Unwrap

Low poly parts are unwrapped. Now to sculpt in some details.

Trap Variants WIP

I've chosen to create a cannon trap and a spike trap. I'm still planning on changing their borders a bit to differentiate each from the other, and rounding off some of their sharp corners.

Low poly with bake normals applied

Orcs Must Die! Trap Reference

Floor traps! I'm leaning toward a spike trap for one variation and a blow dart/arrow trap for the other.

Arm Pad Sculpt

Finished the sculpt of the arm pad for the back. I wasn't sure what its material was intended to be in the reference, so I decided to make it a leather-wrapped padding.

Finished the unwrap, moving on to sculpt a bit. Most of the smaller details will probably be done in nDo.

Shield Low Poly

Low poly is complete at 700 Tris

The sharp geo you see sticking out past the edge is a transparent plane for the portal's effect.

Wildstar Plant: High Poly

Changed direction on the sculpt a bit. Removed the previous spikes, and sculpted one to be baked and duplicated around instead. I tried to go for the layered, desert rock look for the base. Starting on the low poly now.
