Overview

A key challenge was maintaining texture detail in close-up shots of the Level 3 Helmet, ensuring clarity at all distances. With millions of polygons, I optimized subdivisions for GPU rendering, ensuring efficiency while preserving high-definition visuals with Octane Render and LODs.

While the original piece is 3 years old, this full-length piece was later reworked to celebrate PUBG's 7-year anniversary, featuring an updated end section. It remains on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiRn417n5kk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-[#ffc300] hover:underline">PUBG's Official YouTube Channel</a>, with the old ending used in the PUBG F2P opening sequence. The final render showcases the Level 3 Helmet in detail, highlighting PUBG Classic Events while preserving its iconic visual identity.
