Chill Vending Machine Modeling Session; My Full Workflow

Описание: Welcome to the Polygon Vault’s Wiyoh Falls Series.

This time, we’re taking a closer look at my workflow for a single prop: a vending machine. From the initial modeling decisions to the final texture and material, this episode shows my full process behind creating one small object that adds personality and life to Wiyoh Falls.

Even small props like this help bring the town to life. By paying attention to little touches and imperfections, we can make Wiyoh Falls feel cozy, functional, and full of charm, even with a low poly count.

If you’re enjoying this series, consider liking, commenting, and subscribing; there’s still plenty of this town left to build!
