Her Corner - Incense Burner Project

This project was made in memories of my grandmother, who passed away as a devoted Buddhist. Growing up as her first grandchild, I remember vividly that each and every time I visited her, her room was always filled with the smell of incense. I would look up at the table where the burner was and see how she took care of every object carefully, even though they had aged with her.

I made the entire scene alone, from the mood board to the incense smoke particles, with MAYA, ZBrush, Substance Painter, and Unreal. The biggest challenge is the limited information I can extract from the reference photos, so I had to figure out how each part was connected during my modeling process. This was also my first attempt at using the Niagara system and volume smoke material from Unreal Engine.
