This is my take on the Machine Gun/Grenade Launcher from the Marathon series. Setting it up as a QVC type ad.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Hello, mediamonk, I knew I wasn’t the only one from the Marathon community here.
I like your interpretation of m1’s AR-75, I always thought of it as a lot bulkier.
You might want to work on the stand for the gun. Also, I personally would make the dark grey a little lighter.
What renderer were you using?
I suggest add some texture to the gun it simply looks to much plane right now…
The stand definitely needs work. I’ve got to take a look at some examples and build something to suit. I struggle with materials in general, so I’m all ears. I was going for the painted metal look of a standard M-16/AR-15. Factory new, at that. I honestly am not sure what materials I could add to it to get in that direction. Much of my experience is with interiors and large scale structures, so this is a bit different for me.
I’m rendering in cycles.
That X shape in the background doesn’t contrast with the gun
enough - at a distance, or at a glance it looks like part of the
gun - maybe make it darker, or look into implementing depth
of field.
The yellow on white text looks a bit garish - perhaps a darker
shade would be easier on the eyes?
