A fantasy hero helmet based on the concept of the King Arthur helmet, made as part of a series of live broadcasts from our academy in order to demonstrate the full pipeline. The main technical challenge is the chainmail bar. Instead of imitating a tile texture, Ilya Temin (3D Lead WGA) studied real historical weaving patterns and assembled the rings as a real 4-in-1 procedural array in Maya, repeating the authentic chain mail design.
