Ceremonial Aztec Macuahuitl

A stylized game-ready version of the vicious Macuahuitl. This Aztec blade has been specially crafted for ceremonies and rituals, its obsidian blades replaced with gemstones and ornately detailed with engravings. Inspired by Felix "Moose" Gallo's fantastic original concept.
Poly Count - 6475

This project was such a blast to work on and I'm really satisfied with the result! My process was standard for the industry, starting with creating the low poly in Maya, sculpting the high poly in ZBrush, baking normals/AO/curvature in Marmoset, and then texturing in Substance Painter/Designer. The finished project uses a single 4k texture set and is a game-ready 6.5k tris. Thank you for taking the time to check it out! :)
