A chain sword inspired by Warhammer 40k concept art. When I created this model I did it to make something very iconic from the Warhammer 40k universe. I started by creating low-poly models in Maya, building it one piece at a time rather than one big piece. When all the pieces were finished, I copied the low-poly mesh and began to create high poly meshes for normal mapping. Using Zbrush, I added further depth and detail. Once I finished the high-poly meshes I made normal maps. I used Substance Painter to make the final textures. The textures are all in 2K and they use Diffuse, Metallic, Roughness, normal and opacity.

This model is rendered using Sketchfab.
