Pump Shotgun

VikingJim

Im looking for feedback and ideas for this bad boy. Im kinda stuck with it right now. I dont know if I should do an old hunting shotgun, or something a little more modern. Also this started as a prop, and not really a first person gun, but im open to change it. Its 807 tri's at the moment. What range should i shoot for if it was to be a 1st person weapon? Im thinking Red Storm-esque for the finished look; be it antique or modified somehow.

Havok

Pretty good. I suggest taking another look at the ref and working a bit more on the following:



Depending on how closely you are following the ref, you should do the rails at the top aswell.

Keep going and fix some of those things and you should be good.

Havok, thanks for the paintover man, i'll hit it up tomorrow. The buttstock is mainly what was givin me a bit of trouble. i could spend the tri's for the railing as well.

Taking shortcuts, eh? NEIN!!!

I have a new favorite catchphrase.

Havok

No problem, Jim. If you need help getting rid of some of the pinching just post the wires for the high and I'll try to do another German paint over.

Cool man I appreciate it, haha. I do like the phrase. Tho I wasnt trying to take a shortcut, style wise i liked the look of the ribbed pump (ladies?) from the older guns a bit better. the one on the bottom specifically. they are also sans top bar.

Harry

do you want it to be accurate?

If you're looking to make the pump more like the latter models you posted and ribbed since it gives it a more interesting textured look, take another look at the refs you posted. None of the pumps are straight cylinders, each of them taper or change shape on ot least one part of each of the pumps.

Lots of gun buffs on PC. Gotta make it super accurate.


Now that i mention it

lots of gun buffs in the CG world. Gotta make it super accurate.
I've been grilled by gun buffs at my studio over a Kriss gun I did as a noob modeler.

VikingJim

as a cursed blessing, my file for this corrupted. I used it as a chance to start over and it thankfully went much smoother and faster. Here is where i currently am, i used the paintover a great deal. Thanks again Havok. I changed the shape of the top chamber area, buttstock, as well as the pump itself. just blocking out the low right now
cheers

Zotter

pump looks much better, the geometry is a lot cleaner in this one

And yet a massive percentage of guns in games have to intentionally be inaccurate or original to pass trademark laws. Such a blissful standard.
