A hydraulic reservoir assembly from a UH-72 Lakota.

This was modeled from scratch from 100+ reference photos, caliper measurements, and extensive feedback to ensure accuracy, down to the number of threads on bolts and twists-per-inch on the safety wires.

Originally a high fidelity, non-PBR, non-game, work project, this is a PBR update rendered in Marmoset Toolbag. No high to low baking involved here, just a few million triangles and a set of 4k texture maps.

Inside of Substance Painter, I used a combination of precomputed masks from vertex colors assigned in Maya to automatically assign smart materials, then complimented with text and shape masks for the various labels and embossing.
