H&K MP7A1

Damian Nachman

Heyyyyyy!
Started working on a Heckler & Koch MP7A1, and here is what I got so far.
Here's a quick high poly shot:


Low poly is also mostly done, so will upload shots soon.
Will love to hear what you guys think!

Please post your Reference, then we can critique your work better!
For now it looks good for me, i think all details are modeled in.

Awesome modeling.

Just that the trigger is more than a bit off.

It's not three separate triggers, it's more like a glock;

where there is a safety bar in the middle that needs to be pressed as well.

Good modeling start for sure, the front of the nozzle should have holes not dips

Thanks man, good eye!
I've already pretty close to finishing the textures, so remodelling the trigger would be a bummer, but good to know nonetheless.

Yea, you're right.
I ended up blacking these holes to save geo, but in hindsight geo is pretty cheap these days, so will model them moving forward.

Textures coming soon!

Texture Work so far:

Second texture pass, cuz grey is boring:


I Think I'll move on to some attachments :>

You either have too strong of specular, or it is too contrasted. I would drag the contrast down a lot as well as the brightness.

I would agree with dpad, it feels just too noisy and contrasty for me.

The entire weapon looks way to banged up, plastic would not wear like that its very distracting as well/ I think a more sublte approach would help teh realism right now everything is very strong

Damian Nachman

Thanks for the feedback guys!
Cleaned up alot of the wear:

skyline5gtr

much better

While your wear is fine the materials are really off reference. There's barely any difference in the materials and I cant tell whats metal and whats polymer. It looks like the whole piece is made in polymer.

This might be because you either used a lot of post-processing or the materials specular and gloss values are not correct (if you're using the old workflow, not pbr).

Here's some good examples






In these images it's very clear to see the different materials, while in yours however it's not.

I'd say that you should go back and revise your base materials before you continue on the wear and grime/dirt. Once you're happy and satisfied with how the materials "reads" you're ready to move to details.
