Its been a while since I made a more complex model/pattern for my collection. Took me a couple of hours but made this oni mask Samurai bust. Oni's are evil spirits from Japanese mythology and folklore. My dimensional goal is 12" x 12" x 1" for the final size.
My first attempt at a pattern was to use the height map method due to the depth of the model but got poor results.
So my next attempt at making a pattern is to manually adjust the height of the geometry and try to get a good pattern. This method can be tedious and time consuming with going back and forth with tweaking and adjusting different parts of the model until they produce a decent pattern.
