Gjermundbu Helmet

This is a piece I created in a single sitting.
It's been a while since I sat down and created my own piece outside of work, so I challenged myself to create an asset that would happily sit in something like Unity or Unreal Engine within 4 - 6 hours.

The first stage of this was reference images of the real thing and replicas.
I created the high poly and low poly in 3ds max before baking and texturing in Substance Painter.

The original which is on show in Oslo was originally found in 1943 and has been dated to roughly ~900 CE
