Asset Overview

**About the sculpture** ![](https://i.imgur.com/ig60lLs.jpg) This sculpture, created in 1989 by Patrig Ar Goarnig and Lucien Crenn, is located near the cove of "Porz Ar Streat" in Plouescat, in France. For those of you who prefer Google Maps, you'll find it [here](https://goo.gl/maps/ESzuX8LEXkx) ;) It represents a Seahorse, which tail is wrapped around a sleeping cat on one side, and a Yin-Yang symbol on the other. **Process** ![](https://i.imgur.com/HxxJHR4.jpg) The scan was made from 140 pictures (the last of them under a heavy rain), reconstructed with Colmap and OpenMVS and optimized to a lowpoly version (10k triangles) with Blender and [BakeMyScan](http://bakemyscan.org). I also used a weight-painted metric for the retopology to keep the important details: do not hesitate to check the wireframe view. Finally, and due to parts of the statue being wet, I also decided to ditch the computed albedo map and used a mix of granite PBR textures instead.
