Celtic Helmet

3D Model

This is a Gottolengo helmet from Italy, from the 350 - 150 bc period.

Made for the RIR: Imperium Surrectum mod, for the game Rome Total War Remastered.

Made in Blender - 1037 vertices

The creative process consists of modelling the low-poly version, followed by high poly version through the use of the Multi-Res modifier. Any details that the piece might present are sculpted on this copy, after which, they are baked into its low poly counterpart. The goal here is to avoid modelling the additional detail - which would increase the vert count - while still maintaining the illusion that the helmet contains such details.
