Shotgun

I made this last night… Just looking for some crits on how to make it look a little more nice.
Not sure if I’ll texture this.

good mesh , simple and clean .

look forward to see this with more high poly .
the gun is for a game ?

Lilgrudgeboy · October 22, 2009, 7:52pm

Yeah it is a game model. Not really sure if it will ever get used.

Thank you for your comment.

EDIT!

Here is a higher poly model. Not really that great at high poly modeling.
It’s now 900 faces, 885verts.

Tweaked some stuff. Added a better stock.

Left one is the higher poly version. Right one is the low poly model.

Some things i noticed, Though i dont know what reference images you are working from.

Shay_Tessler · October 23, 2009, 4:58am

look mach batter
can you render it with “Ambient Occlusion” and show us ?

Lilgrudgeboy · October 23, 2009, 5:30am

Thank you Snaf. The part under the trigger guard was like that in my reference.

Here is screen shots of what I fixed up.
And AO renders,no lights.

very good there
i dont know nothing about creating meshes for games
dose “Edge split” is accepted? , dose Subserf is accepted?

any way i post an image with the things that i was changing

For subsurf to work in a game you have to apply it.
But that image helped me out a bit. Thank you.

Here is the update.

Back that up! :eek::eek:

Lilgrudgeboy · October 23, 2009, 6:59pm

Well I guess it does work. I never knew that.

radialronnie · October 23, 2009, 7:46pm

It’s new, 2.49 I believe.

Lilgrudgeboy · October 23, 2009, 7:54pm

Yeah I just tried it… It worked.

I think I can call this one finished. Unless anyone else has any other crits.?

How about trying to UV map it and make some texture for it? (or try to bake a normal map from a hi poly version on your low poly shotgun)

Alpha_Red · October 23, 2009, 8:09pm

The place where the stock attaches to the back of the gun should be thicker. Its way to thin. Other than that its just like a normal shotgun.

Lilgrudgeboy · October 23, 2009, 9:39pm

I don’t really know how to unwrap things, or make textures…:o

Does the stock look better?

Eels · October 23, 2009, 10:04pm

You could just use procedural textures then bake them to a UV. The UV can be as messy as you like, you should use smart projection.

Lilgrudgeboy · October 23, 2009, 10:42pm

This might be a stupid question, but what is procedural textures? And how would I make them?

Mico27 · October 24, 2009, 9:07am

Procedural texture are “premade” texture that are in blender. (Ex: cloud, noise, wood, etc)

Lilgrudgeboy · October 24, 2009, 10:56am

Oh…Okay well maybe I’ll try to make something.
