For my personal project, in year 2 of my Game Art course, I chose to create a 3D model of Batman. As an extension, I decided to model a prop for my model, specifically a Grappling Gun using the 1989 movie version as my reference.

I wanted to highlight an important tool for Batman as the prop, as I also considered modelling 'batarangs' for my model.

In particular, I am happy with the construction of the grappling gun and my replication of the mechanical details. I wanted to ensure the shapes were brought through accurately and all of the divots in the metal was copied across. Furthermore, I am very pleased with the rope inside of the gun and how 3D it feels as a 2D projection. If I could revisit this model, I would push for more contrast in the texturing of the main body, as the material has darker shadows than I achieved in my final model.
