VSS Vintorez / ВСС Винторез Sniper Rifle Lowpoly Gameready

So... I'm here again to drop something good and go away for a good half a year to do my everyday job!
What do we have here: The good old VSS Vintorez! I'm a huge fan of one quite old post apocalyptic game, where this gun was one of iconic weapons. Just the feeling of wielding it is hair-raising, and you feel all the power in your hands! And now I have my own one!

So, boring technicality ahead, skip it if you can't stand it. Who cares how many polys you have if it looks good? Right? Right? Bweh.
However I think it's mostly tip-top:
Model: 28 910 tris
Material count: 6 (+ 1 for the cartridge, +3 for the PSO, +1 for the bigger unreleased mag. Damn I'm in love with modularity)
Texture sizes: 1x 1kx2k, 3x 2kx4k, 2x 2kx2k
All made in 125-175 hours (I did not care about the hours as this project was made on a daily basis after finishing my main job/work).

Let me tell you more about the creation process:
Main model was done in Plasticity, after that I've exported it as .fbx. Retopologized and UV'd that fbx in Blender. After that I've exported all the topology that Plasticity "spit" to Zbrush, dynameshed it all, decimated and exported the main FBX as highpoly model. After that I've baked the retopologized and UV'd version in Marmoset Toolbag. Texturing took the most, probably the 2/3s of the overall time. Texturing was done in Substance Painter. Final renders are made using Marmoset Toolbag and I've added a little bit of retouching in Lightroom.
⠀
Most of the details were made in Substance Painter. All the machine milling, normal damages and some other little details. To be honest, It's not this big of a deal, just because my texel density is not that high. It's on a lower side, but It's enough for these kind of shots, so I guess I've pushed it as hard as I could.
⠀
Future plans! VSSM! Some VSS attachments (bipod, bigger mag)! VAL! ASM VAL! SR3-M! Probably. When I find some time. I have a full-time job btw.

FREE Model! Yay! On the bottom of the images list you'll find a Sketchfab link. The model is free there! Alternatively, if you're too lazy to scroll:
