[rossmum]

Wow, that is coming along great!

Cooldude, i've come to admire how you work. I'm gunna be honest.

You gun begins as a total piece of crappy garbage, and then quickly mutates into something a hell of a lot better

I like seeing the progress

It is very interesting to see progression of the model. Especially when you skin it too, When I make my skin I give everything a base color paint first, then go over with base color detail, then add hilights, then add details such as scratches, then finalise the hilights again, then thats about it. I dont think there is any advantage to doing it that way but oh well.

Thanks pie
and Crimson why are u sucking up lol

Heres an update


heres the uvw's (please dont steal them and i know i shouldve put it all on one but i thought for a first skin it would be easier on a bunch of maps)
The mag

THe scope

And the barrel

[Katarn]

bah, wasted space everywhere, what you could've done, is put all the maps on one uv map, but each one in sectors so you can identify easily, barrel in top left, handle in top right, foregrip in bottom left, body in bottom right, something like that. Anyways, the barrel looks good, but everything else needs work.

[Sonictag]

I think it looks alright, but im not a fan of that metal colour, I think if you made it more chrome, a bit more like the barrel, and put some more brighter hilights on the rest of it it would look good. But so far its a great model, but your unwrapping is making it harder for yourself, You could also flatten map some of those meshes for the most part, then stitch some other verts together.

[Waverunner]

It really has progressed from the beggining. Look at the first and last picture, it is amazing.

Yeah, the other textures need a bit more detail and shinyness...

lol, i dunno, for some reason, somone started raggin on me and started

[Duncan]

love the one with the wireframe skin look. BTW, what lights did you use to render those?

[Excal]

That would be a Skylight. Make sure you turn on the Cast Shadows button in the skylight's modifier tab.

You dont have to if you are using light tracer, in fact it disables that option.

[Excal]

I never use light tracer, =\.
