Laser Rifle

A texturing project based on concept art by Fernando Correa.

Everything was modeled and textured in Blender, compositing and grading was done in Affinity Photo.

I made a couple of workflow improvements on this project, developing a better management system for materials, making as little use of UVs (especially manual UV maps) as I could and creating re-usable smart-material-type components for procedural paint chipping and scratches.

Main problems have to do with edge wear patterns being too subtle, uniformity of certain material elements like paint chipping, scratches, etc., lack of diverse sources for texture painting, and overall problems with finding and abstracting material references.
