Cerberus(FFVII Gun) : Next gen asset giveaway

d1ver

Hey there Polycount,
I wanted to do a next gen asset to give away, so you guys could play around with it, reverse engineer and re-texture on your own if you feel like it. And I did

The marmoset scene, the assets fbx, the textures and the raw ao and normal map are all up for download!

If you have any questions - I'm happy to help. If you texture your own version of the gun, make sure to share

Cheers,

that looks awesome! nice work. FF VII is still my second favourite Final Fantasy. The art and the feel are unlike any other so far.

d1ver

Thank you very much Paul! Totally, I think I owe some part of being a game artist to this game(Advent Children looked awesome too).

supaclueless

Thanks for the breakdown on this piece! Helps those who don't fully get how a PBR workflow is like.

DWalker

On a minor note, the rifling curves along the barrel; this twist is what causes the bullet to spin. For pistols, you'll typically see one complete revolution every 16-32 inches. You'll note that the view down the barrel is what you see at the beginning of almost every James Bond movie:

Gazu

DWalker:
Yeah, what DWalker said is right. The Bullet need a twist to better cut the air ^^ and to have more stabilization. Your Barrel is straight.

But the weapon looks nice!

Polygoblin

Awesome! Thank you so much. This explained a little more of the PBR workflow for me, particularly gloss map v roughness map

Tobbo

Thanks for taking the time and sharing!

jmiles

thanks awesome thanks D1ver!

Teessider

you sir are awesome! thank you for taking the time and sharing!

Ged

really well presented info, thanks for that!

XanthV

Sick gun/presentation.
I'm curious to know if if diameter of the barrel matches the size of the round that is supposed to go through it. Expanding on what DWalker said, the rifling gives the bullet spin because they're both in contact. The diameter of the bullet going through is about the same as the diameter of the barrel itself. The bullets look too small.

artquest

Awesome model! I'll be sure to check out your tutorials on PBR aswell.

d1ver

You're welcome supaclueless!

DWalker, Gazu you're totally right guys. I was planning to give it a little spin after the bake and totally forgot. I cut some corners 'cause I knew I just wanted to make a material demo. But that's no excuse. So I've been feeling really bad and updated the download asset on Friday. Here's how it is right now:

There is a spin now although it's not super intense.
Thanks for the feedback fellas!

Polygoblin you're welcome man. My pleasure.

Anytime Tobbo

My pleasure jmiles

Teessider, you're too kind

I'm glad you found it useful Ged.

XanthV once again, fair point. Got it fixed in the download asset but I probably won't redo the video, sorry...still thanks a lot

artquest, thanks!

macoll

Really nice work, thanx for sharing and for the links...

CreativeHD

Awesome stuff d1ver!

kimmokaunela

Material definitions are perfect. I like the unique design also!

d1ver

My pleasure macoll! Now we just need someone to do their version of the materials
Thank you, CreativeHD!
You're too kind kimmokaunela The design is not mine however - it's from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Worth checking out if you've never seen.

Anyway I thought I might as well post some textures:
Albedo

Metallic

Glossiness(Inverted Roughness)

Yilativ

WoW, looks, really great. Why you don't use a Normal map for this work?

Can you explain me a bit, the differences between (Albedo, Metallic, Glossiness) and (Diffuse, Normal, Specular, Gloss), or any tutorial or something.

Thanks

d1ver

Thanks Yilativ! I did use a normal map it just didn't have much to do with next gen texturing so I didn't wanna post it


As for the explaining make sure to check these 2 videos:
