Final version

Looks the part

Looks really close to the real thing, however I'm sort of disappointed this has no baked normals... maybe if it does, I can't tell. Textures seem very lackluster as well - looks something like a few simple materials applied to different parts of the... tool or weapon? Which one is it?

However, it shows that you really took your time to make the render look as good as possible. Despite the issues I've pointed out, it still looks absolutely amazing. Good job!

Cay

yeah the render is great.. it's just the design that is dated

Burpee

It's a weapon/tool actually but yeah it feels kinda flat. I see what you mean, thanks for yours feedbacks guys )

Ged

great materials and render! yeah its so simplistic and flat in its design, would be nice to see some extra details and shapes that werent there in the original but still fit the theme.

Burpee

Hey Ged, Yeah you 100% right but I wanted to keep the original concept, try to make a faithfull realistic version, but yeah this is not very sexy o/

Last render ( I swear! ) !

Thanks for your feedback guys !

Your work and presentation is really solid. Since you faithfully remade the gravity gun exactly you might try redesigning it and do side by side comparisons. I think these days there's a lot of value in being able to translate older designs into newer more interesting designs that still elicit feelings of nostalgia for the originals.

With all the remasters coming out lately it seems to be an increasingly valuable skill (Halo MCC, Gears of War Ultimate, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, etc.).

For that matter long running series run into this very challenge all the time. For example, the upcoming Halo 5 has changed most if not all of the weapons and vehicle designs pretty radically.

Point being, it might be a good exercise to give a redesign a try.

Burpee

Yup absolutely
Thanks for the tip!
