Old Filipino Style Butterfly Knife

WW2 Filipino Balisong Butterfly Knife

The final process I had to go through was baking and painting in Substance Painter. I went through the process of creating a similar bone material as my reference and gathering new reference in order to match the materials correctly.

This is the game resolution model with the Ambient Occlusion and Normal Map applied. I ended up having to bake by using naming convention because of issues that occured while baking. I had to still fix some issues with the normal map in photoshop as well.

Starting out I did'nt really have many difficulties, until I had to create a high res blade. Creating the high res version of the blade was very challenging to me as the shape is so strange. Other than that I did not have many problems.

I began by gathering simple reference and creating a reference sheet. I managed to find a lot of images showing how these knifes are usually constructed.
