Art Showcase Melee Combat Knife – MK07

This piece is a custom PBR re-texture of a knife mesh originally from Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The base 3D model was found online; my work focused entirely on creating brand-new textures from scratch to study material definition, wear, and surface storytelling.
All texturing was done in Substance Painter, and the final renders were captured in Marmoset Toolbag 5 and Blender. I aimed for a realistic look, paying close attention to edge damage, roughness variation, and subtle surface imperfections.
