Elysium AK47
polycounter lvl 9
It's been over a year since i've posted what i'm working on, figured i'd get some feedback.
It's a WIP, I still need to give the grip some love. The tape is only a normal with metal map and I haven't added detail to the mags or the receiver yet. I should be done with this soon. Time has been a bit of a problem lately.

Awesome work!
dredd as in film dredd?
love it
the model is great, really nice detail work on it. material definition is superb as well.
The pistol grip is too small and a little oddly formed, the stock looks too small aswell, also it the angle it extends from thin to wide at the end is too narrow and the form at the connection point is not right aswell,
the barrel is dangerously thin , the laser + sight elysium thing looks a lot bulkier at the front in your version , the back of the AK casing has a wierd shape aswell, the big fireswitch of the ak is also pretty off, and the wood front handguard is not correct either. The double mag tape is not even really taped on the surface, it looks very loose. The magazine needs a closer look aswell. All in all, proportions of pretty much everything are off it feels
I dont want to be the bu-man here, and im not the weapon expert, but those are very obvious errors that could be avoided by having more references and paying more attention to proportions and shape, especially when doing a model thats as widely known as a AK / type 56. Choosing that subject means that you have to be especially careful about the proportions, as people know it very well. But to clarify again, these are big issues and im really not nit picking here about minor details.
On the other hand, I think the texturing is pretty nice, mainly on the elysium part, the dirt looks well done and definition is good, the ak is missing some points of interest in form of wear tho, mainly on the metal parts, and the HUD looks a little like something from the first xbox : P The render is really nice aswell
I really appreciate the feedback man, you made some obvious points. I actually went ahead and changed some of the things you pointed out. The pistol grip does need some love, that's for sure. And yes about the texture on the Attachment, I haven't finished my texturing on the AK yet, but I did make a few passes at the Elysium part. I plan to finish this within the next few weeks. I have a few more projects that are a little more important right now. Once those are done this AK will get the love it needs.
ohh and NurmanZh, posted 2 wireframes, the wires are thick, so some areas look like they're dense with polys, but they're not. This weapon is only 14,580 tris.
And do you considering adding some scratches and stuff to it? I really liked how they nailed this feel of dirty worn metal in movie. I think model would only benefit from it, but its up to you.
P.S. Im sorry if Im wrong at some points. Im not really very experienced in hard surface. Hope I was helpful
I actually used the final product to get a job. It worked, but the source files and screenshots were purged years ago.
thank again for the feedback everyone. it helped a lot
