Kaiken Tanto Model

The final version of my kaiken tanto model. I adjusted some of the effects and maps applied to the model.

I collected as many images of different types of kaiken tanto as I could find. I made sure to include images of kaiken tanto that are taken apart, so that I can build the model as it would be built in the real world.

My high resolution model looks bland, but the kaiken tanto is a simple tool whose decoration is mostly engravings and paintings. I will be using Substance Painter to create those details, as they do not change the surface detail significantly.

While I was working on the game res version of my model I restarted the process about three times. The first two times I felt that I had caused the game res to become too low poly, so the silhouettes did not completely match.

I remade and adjusted parts of my model to be more accurate to the references. I also went back and adjusted my UVs. This week was stressful but I'm happy with my progress.
