zbrush production, blender rendering. The model polygon face amount has been reduced and optimized in zbrush.The model is single subtools, and closed solid , and the inner and outer layers can be separated.Blender pure digital material rendering, also provides material baking PBR texture, PNG format, 4096 precision.By the way, li vessels are cooking vessels similar to modern cooking POTS. The earliest reported li vessels can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. Pottery vessel 1i was the earliest. Bronze vessel 1I appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Tripod tripod tripod is the basic feature of li. Its structure is generally divided into upper and lower parts. Tripod tripod is a square or round vessel with two ears on the upper part and three hollow feet on the lower part. Because the three feet are hollow, like pockets, and joined together.

Taotie pattern four-legged li was unearthed in 1981 in Chenggu County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province. Different from common three-legged li, I am the only four-legged li found in China so far. Geometrically, the three points were on the same plane anyway, but adding another point to the plane where the three points were would have been a rare and unique thing to do in the foundry process of the time.

In the imitation design, I cut holes in the sole of the foot to conduct water ventilation, which can be printed as a succulent flower pot decoration.
