Medal of Honor Warfighter - Authentic Weapons
This video details the meticulous process of creating authentic firearm models for the game Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Senior Weapons Artist Chris Healey explains how the team uses extensive real-world reference material, including photographs and physical examples of firearms like the HK416/MR556, to ensure accuracy in their 3D models. The process involves low-poly modeling, high-poly sculpting to add realistic edge bevels and details, and normal map baking to simulate surface imperfections and material properties. The goal is to achieve a level of detail that allows players to feel as though they could physically interact with the weapons in-game, paying close attention to areas visible during gameplay like iron sights and receivers. The team also ensures compatibility with universal attachments, mirroring real-world modularity.
