I have been recently enjoying playing Assassins Creed Valhalla and felt the need to create some Viking inspired model! After some research I decided to create a variation of some of my favorite Viking style swords. I am happy to present my Viking sword!
I created this with the intent for use in-game, and as such used a low poly high poly workflow. I created the low poly in Maya and then moved over to Zbrush to sculpt on the ornamental details for the high poly. I then baked and textured the model in Substance Painter before rendering back in Maya using Arnold.
A relatively simple project, but something I think came out nicely in the end!
