Ksenya — Y057 Vladmodels 189 [2021]
VladModels, founded in 2009 in Kyiv, Ukraine, quickly earned a reputation for producing historically‑inspired miniatures that emphasize realistic proportions and authentic detailing. The “189” line—named after the year of the model’s original concept sketch—focuses on early‑20th‑century figures from the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and neighboring states. The line is celebrated for its blend of traditional casting techniques with modern CAD‑driven mold design.
| Map | Typical workflow | |-----|-------------------| | | Paint in Substance Painter or Photoshop; avoid baked lighting. | | Normal | Usually kept as‑is after bake; minor touch‑up in Quixel Mixer if needed. | | Roughness/Metalness | Paint grayscale in Substance Painter; keep values consistent with material type (e.g., skin ≈ 0.6‑0.8 roughness). | | Height/Displacement (optional) | Use the baked height map for parallax or tessellation effects. | Ksenya Y057 Vladmodels 189
