Wolfenstein The New Order 1960 assault rifle [WIP]

Doomathon

Edit 1-27
Finished result!


Hi everyone,

Recently picked up The New Order during one of Steam's sales and I loved it. They have some really talented people working at Machine Games. Sooo I decided to model the 1960 rifle for a personal project. I intend to bake it down to a game res model, fully texture it in Painter and maybe throw it into UE4 if I get a chance. Hope you like it! Oh and if you want to give any feedback, that would be swell.

Here is the block-out so far:

Update! Got the high poly done. I tried to not use floating geometry as much as possible, just to get better at high poly modeling. I also  modeled in the diamond patterns because I didn't want to rely on nDo for all the micro-details. Low poly coming soon! Crits, feedback, high-fives are welcomed!

It looks great! It would be neat to hear Snefer's opinion since he worked on wolfenstein.

Doomathon

Thanks Bummer6! I worked pretty dang hard on it so far. And yeah that would be awesome, that whole team is ridiculously talented.

AZadic

Nice dude! I just finished the game and I loved it. Can't wait to see this textured and game ready. 

Doomathon

Appreciate it Azadic. Yeah the games are amazing! I'm also really excited to texture this as well. Should be a lot of fun with all the great surfaces that interact with the lighting.

I got it done! Unwrapping it was quite the adventure let me tell you. I decided to put the entire gun on a 4k sheet and the clip on its own sheet (1k). I realized when I was about 95% done unwrapping that I could've mirrored pretty much the entire right side since it is never viewed in game, but the texel density wasn't that bad honestly. Live and learn. I would've done some things differently if I had to redo it but I like how it turned out and I learned soooo much. It was a lot of fun and I hope you all like it too! If I have the will power, I was thinking of possibly doing a re-skin of a different theme. I wanted to do like an arctic version of this weapon. Maybe I'll get around to doing that at some point

Looks great!

To me it looks like the muzzle brake is not textured fully. Is that intended?

Also I would make the areas that are supposed to be holes but are just baked down dark areas 100% black with zero gloss or sheen to it.

Doomathon

Hey thanks 3DReaper! I made that part pretty subtle in terms of detail and didn't spend too much time on it since it's not really seen in fpv. Maybe a little too subtle? haha I can see why you say that though. Yeah that's what I thought I did with the holes but I guess it still catches light for some reason... Thanks for the feedback though it helps a lot.

Snefer

Sweet! Nice job!

Ged

really cool, that bit on the front looks a bit bright and clean

Doomathon

Hey thanks Snefer! Huge honor hearing those kind words from you!

Hey Ged! I totally agree, it's something I should've spent a little more time on. I was mostly looking at the first-person perspective and should've returned to that part. It's something I'll apply to the next project for sure. Appreciate the feedback!
