Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj (1657β1689) was the son of the great Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He was a fierce and courageous ruler who continued his fatherβs vision of establishing Swarajya (self-rule). Despite facing numerous challenges, including betrayal and imprisonment, Sambhaji Maharaj never surrendered to the enemy and upheld the Maratha pride till his last breath.
He is often called “Chhaava,” which means cub (baby lion) because of his bravery, warrior spirit, and fearlessness from a young age. He was trained in warfare, administration, and multiple languages, making him one of the most learned rulers of his time.
His resistance against the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb was legendary. Even after being captured and brutally tortured, he refused to convert to Islam, choosing a heroic death over submission. His sacrifice and unwavering spirit continue to inspire millions.
Letβs Get Into the Project!
Inspired by the fearless legacy of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, I decided to create a 3D poster based on the Chhaava movie. This project brings the iconic movie poster to life with added depth and dimension, making it a striking tribute to the great warrior.
In this tutorial, Iβll take you through the step-by-step process of making this 3D artwork, including the materials required, techniques used, and a downloadable template to help you create your own version.
Letβs dive into the creative process! π₯π¨
