Tau Gun Drone - Warhammer 40,000 Fan Art

Tau gun drone from warhammer 40,000.

This was a lot of fun, taking a tiny 28mm model and reimagining it as a AAA game asset. I authored some custom houdini tooling to help author and layout the 3 UDIMs, and the rest is simply a standard blender > substance > marmoset workflow. Always enjoyable to get some hard surface practice in. Also used the actual Tau transfer sheet as a stencil to add the markings on the drone.

The guns and nacelles have been authored on a seperate UDIM; so the project can be modular and I can potentially add even more drone types.
