WRATH OF INDRA - Sci-fi Grenade Launcher - 3D Hardsurface Model
Hi There! I'm back again with another hard surface project- this time my first weapon model. I have always wanted to do one of these and now i finally can and I'm super excited about it. I had the pleasure of turning an existing 2d concept into a game ready model. The original concept only had the front 3/4 view so I took the liberty of designing the visor and back of the weapon with design choices that would work with the existing artwork and put my personal spin on it.
I had noticed the original ammo attached to the weapon is pretty plain so i decided to give it a more scifi look, feel and purpose by redesigning it to serve as surveillance and reconnaissance drones that can be launched from the GL where they can stay suspended in air above a designated area and when the time is right they will all be deployed all at once raining Hellfire on a target. I even took it a step further and did a quick animation of the drone deployment .
The back of the GL also has a small screen below the visor where the deployed drones and their surveillance data can be monitored.
Finally, as with all my projects i look for new way to present my work by studying existing artists and game studios. I have always loved how the artists at Bungie present their new exotic weapons before every season in Destiny 2 and i HAD to give that style a go.
Hope you like it!
And feedback is always welcome.
The Original Concept is by Gao Xu

Hip fire view- where the player can see the deployed drones and intel on the surrounding area on the screen along with a button to "PURGE" the target when necessary.
The ammo i designed for the GL. It would work like drones that can be launched from the gun and survey an area, send data back to the gun and at the push of a button- rain hellfire on the target or location.
This is a rough animation proof of concept of how the deployed tech would work.
