Puma White Hunter

[-Gews- 7443]

I never liked the official "Hunting Knife" in DayZ; it's a British Ministry of Defence survival knife, ugly and crude with a fat grind, basically a "sharpened prybar". And definitely not much of a hunting knife.

So here's a new one, the famous Puma White Hunter. This knife appeared in 1956, designed with input from the East African Professional Hunter's Association, and was a hugely successful, probably due to its good looks in the outdoor magazine ads. To be honest, it's also not what most people would consider a practical hunting knife. But it's a classic and it looks cool, so that's why I modelled it.




Renders are nice, but now to get it in game without mangling the PBR good looks too much...

I found it can look fairly bad on an object like this if you just use unaltered albedo for colour map. Although you can overdo it, with some lighting information seems much better. As to be expected of course.
