Creation of a Custom Weapon | Crossbow in General Discussion

Custom Crossbow:

Part 1: Modeling
I decided to make a new weapon today and record the process of how its done. I use a few programs to create a custom weapon, the first being Blender. Typically I prefer to model in blender, but really that just my preference and lots of people still use Maya as their program of choice.

Part 2: UV Mapping
Once the modeling is done, it's time to start unwrapping the model into a 2d image which can be used to texture the weapon. This is probably the most time consuming part of the entire process and even though this video is sped up it took me a total of 2 hours to do this step...

Part 3: Starting Texturing
I'd have to say this is probably the one thing in the entire process I suck at, so I am giving it my best, but it looks like this might take another video or 2 to actually get done texturing.

Part 4: Finish Texturing
Now that the texturing is finished I will be working on the rig and animation side of things in Maya.

Part 5: Rigging
Before animating the gun the joints (or bones) need to be added and joint to the model to allow for moving parts. Once this stage is done animation can begin.
