I was tasked with creating a unique 9mm pistol for a cinematic scene. I created normal maps for text and logos from 2D art using Crazybump. I modeled in Maya.

I used the specular map heavily for surface detail. Dark diffuse map, light specular map.

The Berretta U22 was the starting point for my design. I increased the caleber from .22mm to .9mm. I also shifted the look away from a target pistol and to a combat weapon.
