"Skateboard – A Story in Scratches"

Hey everyone!
Excited to share my latest work—a realistic 3D model of a skateboard, crafted from scratch with a full game-art pipeline in mind.

🔹 Started with a clean blockout, followed by a detailed high poly and optimized low poly model
🔹 UV unwrapped efficiently for clean bakes and textures
🔹 Baking done in Marmoset, with textures built in Substance Painter
🔹 Collected real-world references to capture the look and feel of worn skateboards, from deck scratches to wheel dirt
🔹 Final renders done to highlight both the realism and topology

The goal was to push my skills in both hard surface modeling and storytelling through wear & tear.
