Another 3D Sculpt:
Prop – Jack-O-Lantern
About This Project
Made during the wonderful Halloween season of 2024, this project allowed me to carve pumpkins in a new, exciting way. I modeled the pumpkin and candy in Maya and then brought it to Mudbox for painting, lighting, and ‘carving’. My Maya sculpt ran into some unusual issues, but solving them gave me a greater understanding of how to prepare my models for Mudbox. I played with light during this project; the material of this pumpkin resembles the way metal often has a colored reflection, but I thought the warmth of the lighting really enhanced the project, giving it a nice, inviting glow. If I were to continue with this project, I would add another subdivision level and continue to work out my carved face in the pumpkin. I would also rework my UVs. Overall, though, I really loved doing this project, especially during Halloween season!
