Here we have the Gerber Swagger folding knife i personally own, this project was for me to gain a better understanding of my metal workflows as I felt my understanding of metal materials was lacking when compared to other materials.
I used the liveboolean workflow for the highpoly taking only 6 hours for me to complete the highpoly in zbrush and then to recreate the lowpoly in Maya + unwrapping.
