In this tutorial, we'll show you the creation process for modeling and texturing low poly weapons, with a strong emphasis on hand-painted texture maps. We'll start by modeling a sword in Maya, show the unwrapping process, and take you step-by-step through creating the hand-painted stylized textures for both a sword and a shield asset.
