F1 Steering Wheel - Fanatec Clubsport 2023 Inspired

GranTurismo made me do this, an F1 Steering Wheel inspired by Fanatec's Clubsport F1 2023 model.

Creating this was fun and stressful at the same time. You assign so many materials to your complex model that Substance Painter can't even bake the mesh maps. Yes, I have been in there. Substance Painter didn't work. Then came BlenderKit to the rescue, providing good materials that finally made it look realistic and spicy!

During the rendering phase, Blender also crashed because of the high number of samples and materials. But who cares? Lowering the sample count still gave us a really good model.

For the post-processing part, I used Photoshop.

I am grateful to the Blender community Discord server, my friends, and my big bros for all the help they have provided. To my surprise, I can even use this model in the recent Kaizen's Blender contest, which I surely will wish me luck with.

Sorry for all the yaps; this one was special.

Aight then, enjoy!
