Armillary Sphere

This is a breakdown of an armillary sphere I'm currently building in Maya and will texture in Substance Painter.
Historically, the armillary sphere was used by scientists and sailors as a navigation tool. This version of an armillary sphere is a Ptolemaic model rather than a Copernican model. Now that there are more advanced ways of navigating and learning about celestial bodies, some smaller armillary spheres can be found being sold online as a nice bookend or conversational piece.
