Raijin Stun Rifle - UE4
This is a redesign of the Tikhar air rifle from Metro Exodus based on the concept by Ilya Tolmachev, incorporating a melee stun gun attachment. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/L2mlnv
My redesign is called the Raijin Rifle (named after the Shinto god of thunder), incorporating a melee stun gun attachment as well as an automated air pressurizer. My goal was to make a weapon that was high tech yet still had the feeling of being welded together from scrap, complete with damage from past battles.
The gun was modeled in Maya/ZBrush, rigged and animated in Blender, and brought into Unreal Engine. The environment was created using a collection of modular parts I created for a previous environment project.
First person animation test in Unreal Engine, attempting to demonstrate the look and functionality of the model in a AAA quality game. Rigging and animation were done in Blender, and the environment was created by reusing assets from a previous project.
Base model modeled in Maya.
Material created in Substance Painter using a high poly ZBrush sculpt
Concept design I photobashed together based on Ilya Tolmachev's concept for the Tikhar rifle in Metro Exodus
