Next, I moved on to a bigger asset that defines a lot of the space in the scene. For this asset, I found a Blender timelapse of a fireplace that I found perfect for the scene (only the textures I would do differently). So I looked at different parts in the Timelapse and tried to recreate this in Maya. (due to it being made in a blender in the timelapse I needed to find a different way of creating for a lot of the parts).
I went element by element to create the whole fireplace. As shown in the blender timelapse they also have these fancy spiral ornaments on the walls but I decided that that was a little bit to Kitsch for my liking and would give the whole scene a different aesthetic. I also want to texture it where these elements look a bit older so using those golden spirals would distract from my goal.
