Ive decided to model a high detailed version of the Glock 17 pistol. I’ve decided to model the parts which you get after a field strip.
I might make a field strip anim video after the making the parts…
I’m working with a lot of reference images, but i cant find one which shows the underside of the slide clearly. If the gun nuts in BA have some good reference images, i’d be glad if they could share …
here’s the progress on the slide … the underside is a bit rough, made it from the best references that i could find …
I see I have been called :D.
Unfortunately, my usual site doesn’t have any references of the underside of the slide but if you need any other references later on it might be one of the better ones (http://www.pixagogo.com/2727774179)
I’ll look around and I’ll post if I find anything else.
Yes, its a gold mine alright. If you ever need images for msot modern guns check DeicideNBF’s site (http://www.pixagogo.com/DeicideNBF). He has compiled images of the real guns (not airsoft) just for us, people who create games and/or models.
Oh, jsut a quick search and I found this (http://consumermaven.files.wordpress.com/2006/12/glock2.jpg), not sure how much it helps you.
the mesh is a bit messy, but should be good enough for texturing … hope this view is of help …
The first is without subsurf, ive applied a level2 subsurf on it (2nd image) and since it had lots of round and sharp edges in all 3 directions(x,y,z) , it got messy, but it looks ok in render…
I think its well done but I keep comign back to the slide’s main edges. I want to say that the edges should be wider and the curve be much longer but I don’t know if that’s just me hallucinating or the camera angle.
here’s the half done reciever ( thats what the lower body is called, im learning a lot … ) , its innards will be tough though … i’ll limit the modelling to how much you’ll be able to see…
. thank you!

this is the best image i could find.
