Weapon Handpainted Study By ZugZug Course

3D Model

I’ve always been a huge fan of the World of Warcraft style (I still wonder why my 3D art style strayed so far from it), and finishing this handpainted study was an incredible learning experience.

I want to thank Romans Busels of ZugZug Studio for the excellent course and for sharing this workflow!

The Workflow Highlight: Instead of following the 3DCoat path, I adapted the entire process to be done entirely in Blender, using the free Ucupaint addon. I managed to simulate layer painting, with the same freedom of a 2D software, but directly in the Blender viewport.
