Ich hatte den Artikel schon gelesen und mich gefragt ob es hier einen Thread dazu gibt.
Wonderful work and an impressive article in Germanys “Top Row CG Magazine”

Amazing. I still can’t believe it’s just a 3D model.
Hi,
my new portfolio website has gone online. There’s also some closer look at the crown.
Have a look!
