I started this fan art project wanting to combine two of the most iconic guns in video games from two of my favorite games. The Halo MA5B Assault Rifle, and the Gears of War Lancer. Once I got to texturing, I created a standard skin with a legendary omen tagged on the side, a dirty shark bomber themed skin, and a pristine gold trophy skin. Had fun with this project and I'm happy this weapon now exists! The original concepts belong to Microsoft.

Used 3DS Max to retop forms with circular shapes. Unwrapped UV's in 3DS Max. Used a script to convert UV shells to smoothing groups which you can find here http://polycount.com/discussion/71406/3dsmax-uvw-seams-to-smoothing-groups
