Lightning Gun
This was modelled in Houdini, textured in Substance Painter and Designer, and rendered in Unreal Engine 5. The lightning effect within the glass was done using a billboard material in unreal which faces the camera at all times, and is animated using panners and several layers multiplied together to create an animated effect.
I made this to practice weapon modelling, and so this is the first gun I have ever made.
