Steampunk gun and Full process Tutorial Low-poly 3D model

This is a full process of modeling, unwrapping, and texturing a steampunk gun . It is better to have some basic information about working with programs, although all the shortcuts and information are subtitled as much as possible. ( the final model and project files are Free to use )

Tutorial Contents :

_ Modeling ( Duration : 4 hours ) _

The modeling process is done in blender and in two parts : Part 1 : Polygon modeling Part 2 : Optimizing the product and bringing it to the minimum poly that will lead to a clean topology ( 22 K )

_ Unwrapping ( Duration : 25 minutes ) _

• easy to follow
• all shortcuts we used are explained
• Standard UV Packing

_ sculpting ( Duration : 54 minutes ) _

• making a proper highpoly
• adding some details using brushes and alphas

_ Texturing ( Duration : 3 hours & 40 minutes ) _

• baking highpoly to lowpoly
• create lots of materials from 0 to 100
• using many technics to get more realistic details (smart materials,smart masks,generators,anchor point,hand painting and ..... )
• exporting final textures

_ rendering ( Duration : 48 minutes ) _

• adding lights and HDRI to reach a good lighting based on reference
• post-processing in V-Ray framebuffer

Software Used:

• Blender
• Rizom UV
• Substance Painter
• 3Dsmax / V-Ray

Videos have subtitles in important parts .

Free game asset details

You will receive two textures folders, each with two types of textures :

• PBR texture ( Base color / Height / Metalic / Mixed-Ao / Direct x normal / Opacity )
• Textures map for V-Ray

they have two UVs Set for better quality ( body and others ) in PNG format Resolution of all textures are 4K

Formats included:

• Blender 3.2.0 ( cycles renderer )
• 3dsmax 2018 ( V-Ray renderer )
• fbx ( V-Ray renderer )
• obj (without material)
