This piece of artwork was my last project for my university course, I wanted to switch things up a bit and try my hand in weapon art and the result has definitely put a smile on my face! I was heavily influenced by the great weaponry modelling inside of Escape from Tarkov. I decided to model a Staccato C2 2011 Handgun which is split up into moving parts ready for some animations!

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this sort of model and definitely intend to further my skills in weapon modelling for future projects. The tricount for this model is bang on 18,000 including: All handgun pieces, One Magazine and One 9mm Bullet.

All of the texturing was done on a 4k texture map inside Substance Painter, when texuring this model I wanted to have more of a well-worn feel to it. I wanted to make it seem that even though the gun was regularly kept up-to-date on cleaning, it was done so very sloppily.

This project has greatly elevated my ability in all programs used and I look forward to creating more models with the knowledge I have gained!
