Sci-Fi Gun

This is the first sci-fi firearm I created using Plasticity, featuring minor modifications based on a concept by Bruce Yu.

From there, I baked the meshes and fixed the normal maps in Marmoset Toolbag 5, and then moved into Substance 3D Painter for texturing.

I built both the high-poly and the editable low-poly models in Plasticity. After adding the fillets / chamfers, I brought the highpoly into ZBrush for polishing. I then cleaned up the low-poly in 3ds Max, paying special attention to optimizing the cylindrical and circular geometry.

Finally, I set up a three-point lighting system in Marmoset Toolbag 5, adjusted the scene settings, and rendered the final shots.

For the UVs, I unwrapped the model in RizomUV, utilizing a UDIM workflow with everything assigned to a single material.
