Taking it Further.
PBR Projects
1851 Navy Colt
The first model that I accomplished in my spare time, this project grew out of a recent character design. Optimized to under 9000 tris, it involved a high-to-low poly bake. It would actually have been half the size, except that I wanted to be able to animate the emptying cylinders.
Battleblades
This concept is from Warhammer online, and one of the goals was to be 100% faithful to the drawings. The model is optimized to less than 5000 tris, and the maps follow PBR guidelines. After that is a low poly barbarian-style sword.
Incubator
It was during this project that I was exposed to award winning CG work from students at large. The instructors pushed us to attempt to produce professional level, game ready assets. This model is under 10,000 tris, and has roughness, metalness, normal, and albedo maps. The project marks my first use of 3D Studio Max, and Mudbox to paint across UV seams.
