M202A1

turpedo

Hi guys, I started working on this weapon a couple of days ago. I wanted to post my progress on it so far. There is a smoothing group error on the side of the main body that I literally just discovered before posting this. I think I am going to have to go back to fix that up. The low is sitting at 3801 Tris and on a 1024 X 1024. Next up diffuse!

Reference




Highpoly




Lowpoly







I figured I would go ahead and throw in the other asset I finished before I started this weapon. This one is a torpedo on a stand.

Nice models! I really like the texture on the last one!

SHEPEIRO

on the rocket launcher, i would add some more geometry on the low to help with normal issues, and maybe rebake not using max, try xnormal if you havent already, also the rubber inside of the cap isnt as interesting as the real thing by a long way

As far as I can tell, the edges on the rocket launcher are as round as the tubes that it houses; the curve starts at the ridge while yours is more square. (If that makes any sense at all).

Sup Turp,

Nice stuff, the only thing I'm wondering about is the rack for the Torpedo. It looks like the torpedo would be off balance, generally torpedo racks looked something like this.


But I'm sure you were following a concept so not really sure if it really matters.

But other than that I really like the texture work and lighting to setup for it.

And for the M202A1, maybe just go into zbrush and add a few little dents and dings since the one in your photo's pretty messed up. But nice stuff.

looks like you have all sorts of smoothing errors on the rocket launcher guy

turpedo

vladino - thanks

solid3 - Yo, thanks for the crit. This is the reference that I worked off of for the rack. Maybe to make it look more balanced i could just fix where the rack is setup so it is more centered. Different torpedo similar rack.




Shepeiro - Ya I think I will have to go higher poly on the parts with smoothing errors to fix them. For a lot of the UVs I have that in the same cluster but once I change the smoothing groups on certain parts it creates huge disgusting seams. For the most part this is all baked from xNormal, I would say 95 percent of it is. I will take your advice and make it a little higher to fix my errors though, thanks!.

zwebbie - Yup that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the crit.

EarthQuake - Ya I do, I'm going to have to go back to fix those parts.

great model. that thing shoots fire.

turpedo

Ya I read up on the ammunition for it, that fire sounds lethal

Target_Renegade

Looks good apart from the normal issues, most prominent next to the scope, or is that the AO bake?

damn i want one of those.

Here is a second pass on the lowpoly.

Changes:

-Added rubber lining to the lid
-Added hinge on the bottom of the lid so it can latch on to the top
-Fixed smoothing errors on the main body and the side panel with the ear hole

wow! love the texture on the torpedo! well done!

tremulant

lookin nice

One crit, you should make the scope more high poly, it has a really low look to it, make it more rounded. And Id guess in the animations youd see that when the launcher is lifted up-- if this was for first person---anywho, it looks lower than the rest of the body

turpedo

Thanks for all the crits everyone. I tried to follow as many of your suggestions as I could. Unfortunately these assets are for a class assignment and I have to start working on the other assets for the environment. I also decided to not go as dirty and grungy as the reference shot. This is what I ended up with. I still have time to tweak the textures if you guys have any crits.

Target_Renegade

Nice work, I want to watch Commando now.

00Zero

wheres teh spec? everything looks like its made of paper right now. why dont you render this in marmoset?

i would cut down the amount of scratches around the lines on the body and put a bit more on the rounded edges since thats where it would logically get scratched.
and id also make the bare metal bits darker in the diffuse, let the spec give them highlights, not the diffuse. but youd need some nice reflections to make that work, so you should render this in marmoset.

vofff

can we see the uv map? It looks like some corner arent sharp enough. What res do u use 2048 or 1024?

turpedo

I used a 1024 X 1024 texture. Here is the UV map and diffuse. I'll work more on my spec map and diffuse.
