Wow! This is awesome @lexicolopolis! The most refined model I’ve seen so far. Way beyond the expectations of week 1 👏
I’m in love with the stone work and bevel-y imperfections everywhere. You’ve got a great artistic sense about your modeling.
My only question is about optimization. 4.5 vertices isn’t terrible but I also see a lot of room for lowering the polycount. Namely the unseen sides of all the stones. If you continue this into a “high-res version” of the asset, including sculpted accents, an optimal retopology could set you up for amazing efficiency while capturing all the detail in a normal bake.
For week 2 don’t worry about optimal geometry. Go for high res and make it gawgeous! We can optimize in week 3.
