Gold-inlaid Colt 1849 Pocket Revolver

I created this work to test my texturing abilities. 
All of my previous works were created using SubD but this time I introduced ZBrush to my workflow. 
The main challenge was to recreate the pattern accurately since original images was in poor quality and there was no opportunity to extract information using different filters. Everything is hand-drawn except the cylinder. For cylinder I improved one very poor image with the help of AI and slightly modified it in Photoshop. This model of the revolver is so old that it was impossible to find the real blueprints. I had to modify the proportions a little to connect all the elements and preserve their functionality. 

Other projects

These projects were mainly created to master hard skills, introduce new technologies into my pipeline, personal development and practice.

For example, while I was making this table lamp, I tried and tested the use of Weighted Normals and Custom Normals and how it affects Bake.
