Handgun for Video games by Eugene

In this tutorial I will cover full process of creating a game ready weapon asset, aimed for modern FPS video games. I will show my working pipeline of creating hard surface high poly models in Zbrush using Live Boolean feature, then creating low poly optimized mesh in Maya.

Also I will cover my methods of unwrapping and baking techniques to make sure the final low poly model looks nice and clean.

And finally I’ll share my experience of approaching the texturing process in substance painter aimed on weapons, and will show and comment the whole process of texturing from start to finish without using any smart material
