    A 3D-modeling project inspired by the Jadeite Cabbage in the Taiwan National Palace Museum.

    Tools used are:

    • ZBrush for sculpting:
      • an initial dynamics simulation of leaves folded around the hull shape
      • refinement via curve tube brushes for natural vegetation stemming patterns
      • details and leaf refinement via transpose and cloth simulation brushes
    • Substance3D Painter for texture baking and overall material creation via layered detail buildup
      • Uses normal and height maps for structure enhancement
      • Uses thickness map for Subsurface Scattering (SSS) appearance
    • Maya Arnold for final rendering

    To-Do: Increase likeness to the Jadeite Cabbage. Namely, the original model features a Locust Bug -- also sculpted in jade -- in the leaves, and a holding stand. The former being a priority.
