As part of continuing practice, enjoyment, and of a contact needing a unique knife model, I have modeled and textured a karambit. This knife in particular is a modern tactical karambit produced by Fox Knives in Italy. It has a foldable blade and a catch that allows for quick deployment from the pocket.
As my own personal touch, I have made this one appear as if a Russian patriot got his hands on it. He has scratched out the regular insignia on the knife and replaced it with the statements, “I fight for the Motherland!” and “For Vladivostok, my home and country!”. Due to the fact that the text isn’t easily read, the version I upload to Roblox likely will not have these on it.
I am primarily looking for feedback on the texturing, as this is only my second endeavor of texturing in Substance Painter without tutorial assistance. However, modeling defects should be pointed out if found.
Following are some renders; completed using Substance Painter’s Iray rendering engine.
