updated. calling it done. I separated the grip into its own material because i wanted to do all this fancy stuff with translucency and opacity...I couldn't get it all quite right in Marmoset but i'm pretty ok with the results i ended up with.





edut* i just want to add that this is my firt attempt at substance designer. it's fun.

Woah! Looking Good! Cant wait to see more!

sweet start!

I don't know if you've seen this, but here is everything you might not already know about the Blade runner pistol!

Also includes which real guns parts where taken from, and which replica props are most accurate. Plus lots of Adam Savage geeking out about something which is amazing!

i think i watched that about a year ago - but thank you for bringing it back up. In rewatching it i found this


which is AWESOME.

Quack!

Your edges are too tight you nerfherder.

reverendK

little bit more progress.
Haven't gotten to softening edges yet. but i'm still poking away at it.

baby steps...

Everything looks good so far, it looks like you are going for a mid-poly first. Making the pieces and parts individually can help (especially when you bake). Keep at it.

Looks like we're working on the same gun. You've got some good progress there, are you still working on this? If you need any of my reference feel free to send me a pm.

here's my thread, though I haven't done much yet. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=137444

bringing this guy back from the dead.
calling the highpoly done. There are a few places where it departs a bit from the reference. I've decided to accept this and move on with my life in the interest of getting it done.


and here it is exploded (and with the most worthless wireframe you're ever likely to see)

I'm doing something along the lines of that now with the FN P90 PDW. Can't wait to see the final product.

UPDATED

IronWall

looks great! I would love a fps view. the scratches on the underside of the top barrel look pretty heavy you might want to tone it down a little. could you show us your substance?:)

The materials look quite odd. The plastic grip is super shiny, like toy plastic. The metal parts also look strange, is it perhaps meant to be wet metal? Maybe if you post up some flats you'll get some more specific material crits.

reverendK

the handle is supposed to be molded plastic - though i couldn't get thetransparency to look right. and going from (some) of the references - mainly adam savage's version of the gun - the top portions are meant to be blued steel where the bluing has been removed.
It's not 100% successful. Still don't feel like i have a ton of control in substance designer. a bit of a learning experience.

Quack!

I think that the metal reads as wet right now. The handle is looking good, is it using translucency or SSS?

I think removing that extreme roughness detail would improve this quite a bit.

There also seems to be a number of bake errors that are lowering the overall quality of the forms. Particularly on the hammer.

I think it would be a worth it to give it one last tweak to get the values back to selling the materials, maybe even adding some sparse micro surface scratches.

reverendK

home from the hospital. did a little material tweaking in substance while the wife and baby are sleeping.
I might go and try to get a better bake out of it some time this week. we'll see how much time i find myself with...nice thing about substance though all i have to do is update normal reference and things should mostly repair themselves.

Quack!

The material is already reading much better! Can't wait to see the baby. Enjoy your time bud.
