The Pirate Queen with Lucy Liu - Props

As Lead-Artist and Principle Environment-Artist, it was a great pleasure and exciting challenge to oversee the art department on the Emmy-nominated VR narrative title The Pirate Queen with Lucy Liu.
Alongside my responsibilities as lead-artist, I had the opportunity to work on various props and hero assets throughout the game. This was a unique chance to model and texture some truly beautiful objects from Chinese history. Researching these objects and liasing with our Chinese researcher and our writer was one of the most rewarding parts of the project.

Whilst we created hundreds of assets for The Pirate Queen in total, in this post I've decided to include only my very favourites!
As is typical for mobile VR, performance was a big limitation, so in-game many props had lower LOD geometry and texture resolution much reduced. For this showcase, I have included the original 2k textures, and LOD0 geometry.
