This project was another Nant Studios internal project to create a hero asset to be used in our asset library and across various projects. Production gave me a very basic turbo-squid model to start with. I rebuilt and re-designed the helicopter to be legally distinct and to be more interesting design-wise. All aspects of this asset were executed by me with some direction from Gennady and Bryan. I executed it with a clean quad topology that integrates into the engine well. I did a handful of texture sets with 0-1 Uvs packed as tight as possible. I did the textures in Substance Painter from scratch and lookdeved it in Unreal.
