Cleric staff and Cultist staff- Pax Dei

These are two staves I created for Pax Dei, designed for casting spells and channeling magic within the game. The cleric staff will be used by players, while the cultist staff is wielded by nefarious NPCs.
For both staves, I used Maya for the elements that required clean, precise shapes—like the swirling spiral forms on the sides of the cleric staff, which were created using Sweep Mesh—then brought everything together in ZBrush for refinement and sculpting. After that, I gave them an additional detail and texture pass in Substance Painter to achieve the right look before bringing them into Unreal Engine 5.
They were a lot of fun to make, and I’m excited to see how players interact with them in the game!
