The Mark 18 Close Quarters Battle Receiver is a modified variant of the M4A1 rifle popular in the US armed forces, and is intended for use in urban settings where a rifle-caliber round is necessary in a setting where the length of a full rifle may prohibit maneuverability. This was one of the first models I can recall doing in my own spare time without guidance and was where I established my personal workflow, concretely, from start to finish: Find/develop vector reference in Illustrator or a similar program, Box model all of the components (Maya) Individually unwrap all pieces (Blender, because that unwrap tool is great!) Hand-lay the UVs so that they pack tightly onto a texture sheet in a way that makes sense to me while also optimized for maximum texel density. (Back in Maya again) Paint it! (Substance)
