Stylized Whiskey Barrel

This stylized whiskey barrel was a personal learning project where I explored the world of low poly art and stylized texturing. I used Substance 3D Painter to experiment with a non-destructive workflow and to better understand how to achieve that hand-painted, yet polished look.

It was a really fun project — from shaping the chunky wood forms to giving the metal bands some character and storytelling through texture. I learned a lot along the way and truly enjoyed bringing this little barrel to life!
