How would you tackle this decorative metal work?
From a lamp I'm working on. The basic parts I've started to block in (just an extruded cylinder).
The decorative parts will be tricky - to build, and to weld in with the basic parts too.
Any advice or suggestions (I'd like to do it all in maya rather than a sculpting package) - all modeled or mapped?
The really tricky bits will be the spirals.
Cheers,
