I'm eager to share the techniques I discovered while developing a low-poly/high-poly baked model of the "M9 Bayonet" with Substance Painter's texturing.

First and foremost, this project would not have been possible without my 3D modelling abilities. My proficiency with tools like Blender has helped me to produce precise and tidy geometry for the M9 Bayonet. I made tried to accurately capture every element and size of the weapon using a variety of polygonal modelling approaches.

I concentrated on capturing the M9 Bayonet's exquisite intricacies throughout the high-poly modelling stage. I painstakingly sculpted bevels, surface flaws, and other fine elements using subdivision surface modelling and sculpting techniques to give the model more authenticity and depth. This process needed close attention to the smallest of details and a thorough comprehension of how light behaves on various surfaces.

The model was then optimised for real-time rendering while maintaining visual quality using low-poly modelling. I meticulously retopologized the high-poly model, paying great attention to the number of polygons and making sure that the key elements were retained. A great sense of optimisation and a grasp of effective geometry distribution were needed for this.

Substance Painter was my final choice for texturing the model. I was able to give the M9 Bayonet realistic materials and textures because to this excellent programme. I mastered the art of unwrapping the model's UVs to provide a precise 2D representation of the surface for applying textures. I was able to increase the model's overall realism by adding wear, scratches, and other visual aspects using Substance Painter's large array of materials and painting techniques.

I've learned priceless skills in Substance Painter texturing, UV unwrapping, high-poly sculpting, low-poly optimisation, and 3D modelling during this adventure. Along with improving my knowledge of the 3D process, this project gave me the delight of making an eye-catching, game-ready model of the "M9 Bayonet."

I've honed my 3D modelling abilities, utilising programmes like Blender to produce precise and tidy geometry for the M9 Bayonet. I am a skilled user of polygonal modelling methods, and I can accurately depict proportions and details.

High-Poly Modelling: I've learnt to capture fine details, bevels, and surface characteristics using high-poly modelling. I can design a highly accurate rendition of the M9 Bayonet utilising edge loops, creasing, and sculpting brushes since I have proficiency in subdivision surface modelling and sculpting methods.

I have developed competence in low-poly modelling, which optimises models for real-time rendering while keeping visual quality. I can develop an optimised version of the M9 Bayonet using retopology techniques that provide the best possible balance between polygon count and feature retention.

UV Unwrapping: I've figured out how to unwrap the model's UVs so that I can precisely apply textures by making a 2D representation of the surface. I am aware of the significance of effective UV layout and how it affects the mapping and texture quality in the finished product.

Texturing with Substance Painter: I've become proficient with this potent texturing programme. To further the model's overall authenticity, I can add realistic materials, textures, wear, scratches, and other visual features using its rich material library and painting capabilities.

Detail-Orientation: During the course of this project, I have honed a sharp eye for detail that has helped me ensure accuracy and realism in the modelling and texturing procedures. I am aware of how minute adjustments may have a big impact on the outcome.

Efficiency and Optimisation: I've learnt to take polygon count, geometry distribution, and performance concerns into account while optimising models for real-time rendering. I work to preserve maximum efficiency while achieving the finest visual quality.

Understanding Light and Materials: I have gained a deeper comprehension of how light interacts with various surfaces and materials as a result of this endeavour. In order to achieve a realistic look, I can accurately depict the materials and textures.

By combining these abilities, I am able to produce stunning low-poly/high-poly baked models with texturing in Substance Painter, which opens up a variety of potential in the game development, animation, and visual effects industries.
