Here also are some progress/WIP shots from during the creation of this model
And a few showing just bakes
Thanks for sharing the files as well!
Glad you like it. That part's made from a folded piece of metal on the real thing, so the technique was to model it 2-dimensionally and shell it out (same goes for a few other big parts of this gun)
sure, here's that part -
This is what always confuses me, basically we (Newbies) are told to avoid triangles all the time, however I always see people using them.
Is it only in specific situations in which triangles can be used or if they cannot be avoided?
Would be nice to finally have a definitive answer on the use of triangles in situations which require them
Thanks,
Ross
Bolts: Really nice work, reminds me of those cool old CS skins alot of the shots. Only thing I don't like is the lack of any crispness. Even though it's 3PV I'd love to see a few places tightened up a tad for contrast. Also I'd dial back the AO a little. Really cool anyhow
The idea that meshes "should" be all quads is indefensible. As you get more familiar with modeling IMO the distinction between mathematical classifications of polygon become irrelevant, it's just verts and edges, algorithms treat them all the same. All that really matters is defining the volume.
