MK2 HE grenade - some PBR practice

rodpv

Hi guys, what's up?!

I just wanted to share with you this MK2 grenade (high explosive version) which I modeled as a side exercise for the Futurepoly course.

Since I usually focus on high poly and organic forms this was a nice exercise to practice hard surface and PBR pipelines for games.

It was modeled in Max and textured in Ndo/Ddo. Rendered in Marmoset.

hey! cool grenades!
I think you should decrease the intensity of your detail normals though.. notice how it's super noisy?
And I'd play with the gloss/roughness values some more.. the rust is super shiny which is kinda weird

Hey Cay thanks for the feedback!

There's a bit of sharpening and grain coming from the post in Marmoset. Also the grenade looks way more "dry" with other lights and in 3do.. I kinda liked this wetness though. It looks a bit more rough and sexy :shifty:

I like it a lot. Reducing the strength of the normals (Mainly on the bare metal) would do wonders for making this piece top notch.

Hey Jack, yeah I fiddled quite a bit to get the crispiness of the yellow paint while contrasting it with the bare metal. I wanted to texture also the other variations of the MK2 so I'll try to play a bit more with the bumps of those ones.
