This project was a study in combining aggressive, organic silhouettes with emissive-driven material work. Inspired by dark fantasy aesthetics, the goal was to create a weapon that felt like it was forged from cooling magma, still pulsing with internal heat. Technical Details: Modeling: Focused on achieving sharp, jagged edges and a balanced silhouette that looks menacing from all angles. Texturing: Created in Substance Painter using a layered approach. I used a dark, porous basalt material for the base, layered with procedural "heat" maps to drive the emissive glow in the cracks. Rendering: Final presentation focuses on high-contrast lighting to emphasize the depth of the cracks and the glow of the core. Softwares Used: Modeling: 3Ds Max Texturing: Substance Painter Rendering: 3Ds Max Post-Refinement: Adobe Photoshop
