Buster Sword Fan Art

Project type

Weapon

Date

March 2025

Location

Toronto

Here's a polished version:

Fan art recreation of Cloud's Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII Remake.

The low poly was modelled in 3DS Max, with high poly detail sculpted in ZBrush. Baking and texturing were completed in Substance Painter.

Created earlier in my studies, this piece reflects a pivotal point in my learning. Looking back, I would approach it differently today - baking finer details rather than modelling them, and designing custom textures in Substance Designer to achieve greater control over the final look.
