Sig Sauer P322

My 2024 MA Final Major Project in association with the University of Hertfordshire.

The U.S. made Sig Sauer P322 was a gun I always wanted to make, as it combines organic shapes with hard surface in a way that I just really like. The goal for this project was to show that I have leveled up a great deal and learned a lot from my past mistakes and I think that shows. Of course, the goal is always to improve upon the previous project. Considering what I have seen from senior artists in my profession, I don't doubt I can impress with this one. Of course, the offline renders looks MUCH better than the UE5 renders, but after seeing how my UE5 render looks identical to the quality of the in-game COD guns, I'll consider this a win!

I don't own the rights to the FPS arms and black military character. Everything else is of my own making.

Hours of testing eventually led to a well rounded polymer material. Detailed up close, and distinct from further away.

Several iterations lead up to the final metal material. The first few versions were too similar to revolver metals, and not sleek modern, yet used, modern gun metals.

For example, this is one of the first few metal material test renders where it looks good, but it isn't a modern pistol kind of good looking, and more of a revolver gun metal kind of material.

I have saved the base metal material for use on a future revolver, and I hope that render is even better, perhaps as good as the people I look up to.
