About the project
For a Mercedes-Benz advertising scene, the iconic star emblem was created as a high-quality 3D object. The emblem was not a side detail but the central element of the composition — accordingly, the demands for clean geometry, precise form and a flawless surface were high.
The heart of the work was the UV layout: unwrapping the geometry of the star so that an elaborate texture wraps around the entire form without distortion and without visible seams. Especially on a shape with several edges and transitions, this is a particularly intensive, precise step — and it was exactly this step that determined whether the final surface would convince in the render.
