The first assignment of the zbrush course held at the University of Skövde in Sweden. Our assignment was to create a diorama in Zbrush with between 2-3 objects that we would retopologize and bake normal maps to in maya. Took approximately 2-3 weeks of schooltime. The hardest part was achieveing neccesary geometry while holding the polycount even across the objects. The diorama is based on a fountain in the movie Tales of Earthsea by Studio Ghibli. I took a little bit of freedom when making the models, because my reference pictures were only from one angle and did not show much of the fountain and its wall.
