Anti Aircraft Turret

JoshWilkinson

Been freelancing with a studio out here on a multiplayer game called "Mist of Stagnation" that boasts a steampunk vibe; something new to my skillset. Hoping to grab some criticism from the community. Obviously I'm pretty far along so major design changes are a bit impractical when considering deadlines, but I would appreciate some crit all the same.



Cheers!

Liking the look of the wear on the larger curved surfaces, but in comparison the gold lining looks too pristine to me. I think it would be more worn/dull if the rest of the turret is that damaged. Your material is reading nicely though, the specularity is ace

Thanks Kroma, and I totally agree with you, the wear isn't reading right. The wear in my concept looks a lot like this but that just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I'm looking up bullet riddled metallic surfaces but there don't seem to be a lot where the bullets don't penetrate. Oh well, I'll keep at it and post when I have more to show.

Updated the turret. I don't think the curve of the ammo belt is as elegant, but is necessary to rig the turret. The wear was also distracting to me so I added some bullet dings and tried to make the wear look like it had more purpose.

Kroma!

I think it looks better now, hopefully you can get some replies off a few other people on here and see what they think too

It looks great, I would perhaps do something to the inside of the curvature also.

Thanks for the crit, guys. And I agree with you Livewire, the inside of that shell was too clean. I added some stuff to it but am curious if it's too busy now or headed in the right direction?

inside looks to busy now and just flat out looks like a wall texture. if you're going to do panels lines they usually work well when they echo and follow the form of the surface. really dig the bullet dents they look awesome.

Before reading your post I immediately knew it was steam punk, good job!
