DAGGER DICE

Continuing with the ZBrush projects, the brief for this project was to create a six-sided dice, sides numbered 1-6, and each number had to be an identifiable object sunk into holes in the surface. Level of detail was then limited to the design being recognisable.

Numerous hours of research for put into identifying a suitable object to embed into the dice; finding something simple and recognisable, as well as being unique.

I found these dice known as 'Zen Dice', that can only be described as multiple yin and yang symbols wrapped around each other. Instantly I knew I wanted to create something similar, something that could be curved around each other.

This is when I decided on creating a Karambit knife to be used as the object to be embedded into the dice. Once created, I made some alphas in Photoshop, so that I could create the precide indentations into the dice for the knives to sit in nicely.
