This is a tribute collection to Organisation XIII from the Kingdom Hearts game series, as well as a way for me to practice. I’ve had go at constructing the weapons used by the organisation, and given them a new coat of paint to give their visual appeal a greater effect, since the in-game models aren’t especially ‘shiny’, like the models you see nowadays.

Each piece took roughly 4 days to complete, including modelling, optimising and unwrapping, mapping and texturing, and their animations, and were made using a combination of 3DS Max, Maya, XNormal, Substance Painter, and Adobe Photoshop.

Further fun fact: I was using the 7-day trial version of Photoshop CC to make the textures. Challenge was to texture as many as I could in the time before my trial period ran out.

Only the meshes and used maps you see here were created by me. All other credit goes to Square Enix and Tetsuya Nomura.
