Blacksmith Anvil – Game-Ready Prop

This anvil prop was created by one of my students as part of our Hard Surface & Material Study module. The goal of the assignment was to capture realistic metal aging and believable wooden surface breakup.

The student focused on:

Sculpting natural cracks and wear

Achieving grounded metal roughness and patina

Building a strong wood-to-metal contrast

Presenting the asset with clean lighting and composition

Software Used: Maya • ZBrush • Substance Painter • Marmoset

A solid study in realistic texturing, material breakup and prop storytelling.
