University of Illinois Alma Mater Restoration & AR app
During the restoration of the Alma Matter statue, an AR app was create to showcased the scanned 3D model in its absence.

For this project, my work was clean up and reduction of the original model ( 20M polygons ), uv mapping, and baking.
Tools used: Maya, Zbrush, xNormal, Marmoset Toolbag, and Arnold.
