Product promotion: November 2009


As a new blog feature, I’ll be posting a monthly product promotion. So, to kick of the month of November, I present to you my latest stock 3D product: the Tactical Tomahawk.
I especially enjoyed researching and modeling this particular product. The weapon has a unique character to it, as it blends ancient style and utility with modern design and metal working principles. Although I had initially intended to sell this stock 3D product without texture maps, I decided to go full stop and work up a diffuse color map, a normal map and a specular map.
Overall I seriously enjoyed the project and I hope that you will enjoy the result.
Though most of the weapons I create are main stream, Special Forces armaments, I occasionally work up a few odd armaments. One such weapon is the SPP-1 underwater pistol. Although few games or mods feature underwater or near water combat, particularly in regard to the Russian Spetsnaz, it is no wonder that few people seek this model out. Although it is quite a niche, I do believe that on the grounds of uniqueness, it deserves a presence. So if you’re thinking of developing a game which involves Russians and water borne combat, this is the weapon for you. PS. If you are developing a game which involves Russians and water, I’ll do up an APS underwater rifle as well.

I like the info you provided on the weapon and possible uses for the model. I can picture it being used for Halloween scenes or zombies, etc. as well as it's usual combat scene application.

In today's world of big impersonal corporations and our global economy, many of us are interested in having a more personal connection with those we buy from. So I think it's great that you are giving more info and taking the time to blog about your products and your work. It is a nice way to establish that personal connection with the buyers.

Thank you for the comment and compliment. I have begun working to promote my products here at T3DS, largely via this blog and posts in other 3D forums. As for creating personal product connections, I believe that I will continue with the product promotion posts and feature a new series of products each week, much in the same way that I have formatted this post.
