Substance Painter - Overwatch Tracer Gun


Getting familiar with Substance Painter.  I followed along with Wesley McDermott's great tutorial by Lynda.com - Substance Painter Essential Training.  I would highly recommend this tutorial as Wesley does a great job getting you familiar with all Substance Painter has to offer while keeping it fun.
I took it 1 step further and exported the maps into Maya VRay and finished up post in Photoshop.  I'm happy with the results and will be diving into more SP!

The model was supplied by the tutorial and comes low and hirez.  Whats pictured above is the low rez game model with normals.
