Cannon Project P.8 (Finale)

This is the final post for my cannon project! For this last part, I improved the lighting in my Unreal scene, darkened the textures of my models to highlight the edges better, and created an Unreal sequence to show off all sides of my model.

Unreal Renders:







High-resolution ZBrush render in a grey material:



Game-resolution in color, grey, and wireframe materials, all rendered in Maya:

Here are shots of my textures within Substance Painter:




Here is my proof of posts to Perforce:





Finally, here is the reference I used:



This project has been a challenge, but a very fun experience overall! I am excited to keep practicing working this pipeline.
