The poke ball is a simple 3D Mesh that I can create easily with the use of Maya. I just don't want to limit myself just with a simple mesh so I decided to make to open and created a design inside the model. I found a reference in Google for the inside of a Poke ball I opened the model and started Building the inside of the Mesh from scratch adding different layers so that the Model was Clean and easy to understand.

I imported the Model in Substance Painter and baked the high poly version into it. Once the model is imported it should appear in the screen with the UV The next part is to bake the High poly into the Low Poly model Once the baking is over this will appear Once the baking is over, we got a model with more ...
