A stylized treasure chest built for an Action-Adventure game setting. The project was an opportunity to push further into stylized sculpting and hand-painted texture accents while staying inside a fully PBR-compatible workflow.

The goal was to design a chest with exaggerated proportions and chunky, stylized detailing that reads clearly at a glance, while keeping the asset lightweight and fully game-ready.

— 2,568 triangles — 1x 2K texture set — Fully game-ready with clean topology

The base mesh was modeled and sculpted in Blender, with a focus on exaggerated proportions and chunky, stylized shapes to push the character of the asset beyond a realistic reference.

UVs were laid out in RizomUV with a professional, efficient layout to maximize texture space and avoid stretching across the mesh.

Texturing was baked and painted in Substance Painter, combining PBR materials with stylized color gradients and hand-painted edge highlights — keeping the surface graphic and game-appropriate rather than photoreal.

A breakdown of the core texture set — Normal, Base Color, Roughness, and Ambient Occlusion — all packed into a single 2K sheet to keep the asset lightweight and engine-ready.

Final presentation was set up and rendered in Blender, framed to show the chest both open and closed and highlight the stylized metal trim and wood detailing.

A stylized, game-ready chest prop with exaggerated, character-driven shapes and a clean PBR texture set — built to slot straight into an Action-Adventure environment.
