A experimental, “handmade” 3D arrangement created from painted elements of Gustav Klimt’s works. I created a seamless texture using Photoshop and Blender. for the Game Jam on 26–27.03.2026 @experimental_game_cultures, a collaboration with @belvedere21wien, @gamesforchange, @subotron, and Boie Thomsen.

The images were used with the kind permission of the Belvedere in Vienna. https://boiethomsen.com https://subotron.com

These beautiful models by Varvara served as a reference: “Lowpoly Flower Bushes”; https://sketchfab.com/krauchankavarvara and nick2046: “Flowers (Rose and Sunflower)” https://sketchfab.com/nick2046; some of the textures were used and modified.
