Ballerina Jewelry Box

Share This:

This was an experiment in Blender to model, texture, and rig an entire item from scratch. I modeled the box in Blender, and the lid is actually rigged to close, with the ballerina folding down as it closes, the key at the back spins, and the ballerina also spins when the lid is open (I actually also modeled/sculpted the ballerina originally in a standard A-pose, retopologized her, rigged her, and then posed her in that ballet pose. Which was WAY overkill—but also kind of fun). I then brought the final model into Substance Painter and created all the materials from scratch as well.
