Sailboat Model for Hololens

My role: 3D modelling, optimization, and texturing

This scale model of a Capri 22 sailboat was constructed based on photo reference to be part of a promotional AR experience. Meant to be viewed either life-size or scaled, the geometry and texturing are optimized for AR — a careful balance between realism and the processing constraints of the Hololens.

The model includes texture maps for color, surface normals, and specularity, as well as emission to simulate the translucency of of the sails where light and shadow calculations would be too computationally complex.
