Assault Rifle

[JVI]

Hey all!
I was working on an Assault Rifle. Here the steps and how far I am now;

1. The begin shape;
   

2. More shapes;
   

3. More details in the shapes;
   

4. Adding screws and more detail again;
   

5. Adding textures and more changes;
   

6. Giving more textures at some places and more adjusting;
   

7. Changin the laser (now I used a spot, so the laser wouldn’t go through rock etc.)

That’s it for now. I hope you guys can give me crits and suggestions, so the model will be great^^

1. Render should be brighter.
2. What are those black lines? are they modeled or is that texture work?
3. Get some smoothing groups (select the faces and press y)
4. Stock and receiver shouln’t be as boxy as they are right now.

1. Yeah that’s right, I saw my screen is just set up very brighten;p
2. Those black lines are modelled as you can see in 4. I did it so you can see the different parts of the rifle.
3. I’ll try that!
4. yeah, i’ll compare that with my smooth groups;)

I don’t think I’m going to work on that again, I still got some exams to learn…
Thx for looking!

Thanks for Looking!

Any C&C?..:o

I think the buttstock needs to be way less sharp. As for the laser, the halo line is good, and you can make it better by adding halos, of make a really long skinny cube and make it shadeless. I use yellow ones for bullets.
