We've learned so much as we've showcased weapons over the past few months, so we wanted to go back and remake some of the original presentations in a cleaner scene, as well as polish the texturing a bit more to highlight the work. In this case, we wanted to spotlight the PP-19 Vityaz textures, and apply what we've learned to it.
Some brief history on the weapon, Vityaz iis Russian for knight, it’s a 9×19mm Parabellum submachine gun and it’s the standard submachine gun for all branches of the Russian military and police forces.
Seen here on a simple clean white background, we decided to clean up quite a bit on this gun as before it was bit overdone. The textures felt over communicated and noisy. You can see where we pulled back a lot on the main metal materials to more accurately represent the real thing, but we kept some bare metals in for accent and interest, even though it's not super realistic to have bare metals on such a gun. We did still keep a few areas worn out. The stock for example, we kept quite worn out, as we love the treatment Dmytro did on that area.
We're constantly iterating to try to improve all areas of our expertise, this is just one example of how texturing can really change the look of an asset we make.
