One last addition to my weapon set: a 9mm pistol based on a Beretta PX4 Storm. This is the high-poly model, the low-poly will follow up shortly.

Who would have predicted when I made the Police Spinner from Blade Runner all those years ago that it would end up in an actual commercial. Really excited to see it in action in this Walmart commercial done by the guys over at The Mill for the Super Bowl LIV.  So proud to see my little baby hanging out with the grown ups. Even though the model and textures are quite old, Yarin Manes and his team did a wonderful job updating it and making it look like it just came out of the Ridley Scott movie. Congratulations on a job well done!

3 years ago I began this project. The idea was to recreate the different generations of stormtroopers from all 3 Star Wars trilogies: the Republic clone-troopers from the prequels, the Imperial stormtroopers from the classic trilogy and the First Order stormtroopes from the Disney sequels. So far I've only completed the sandtrooper version from Episode IV, lets see if I'm able to wrap the whole thing up.

Clone trooper WIP:

I'm finally making some progress with the weapon set. I just finished the high-poly of the assault rifle and I will soon start making the low-poly model.

After much pain and suffering I finally finished the low-poly, UVs and bakes. Next week I'll try to make some time to start texturing it. Here's my progress so far:

No weapon set would be complete without a rocket launcher, so as the final piece for my set I went with the classic RPG-7. The particular variant I chose is the american manufactured PSRL by AirTronic. I've made good progress on the high-poly, it just needs a few details here and there and an optical sight.

As I promised in the first post, here is my progress on the Desert Eagle so far. It has taken me longer than expected because I've been working simultaneusly on an unrelated side project. Anyway, I'm currently about to finish the 2nd pass on the textures and close to starting the polishing stage.

Take care! :)

No weapon set would be complete without a sniper rifle. Here's the Cadex Tremor, one of the coolest sniper rifles out there:

Next up on the weapon set is the FN Minimi Mk3 light machine gun. This beast was great fun to model due to it's complexity and high level of detail. Here are some screenshots of the high-poly model:

  And finally a couple of pics of the low-poly model:

Here are a few renders done in Marmoset Toolbag 3 of the nearly finished textures of the Vector SMG. This particular gun was quite easy to model. Its almost completely flat surface however made the texturing/shading process quite challenging, since all the detail a visual interest that was lacking on the 3D object had to be implemented via the albedo, roughness and metalness maps. There are still a few areas that need some tweaking but overall I'm quite happy with how this bad boy is shaping up.

Here I added a cylinder with emission and transparency maps to see how the effect worked. The tiling is quite obvious but other than that, it gives a nice touch.
