I like the orange. This is some sexy beast material. Did you manage to pull this off with that one measly little screenshot? I have a hard enough time modeling crap that's right in front of me.
I know you're finished up here but they recently released the official concept art over at Weta's website if you're at all interested. Check it out lots of cool stuff! http://www.wetanz.com/district9/
love that stuff, you going to put them into any sort of use?
These are so cool you should just put them into something like UT for the fun of it, then give it instagib and tweak the link guns lightning beam a bit and voiala, district 9 game arc gun!
I dont think there is anything wrong with the scratches, its rather the background being all white that makes the scratches stand out. The white background makes it feel like the eyes choose to focus on the scratching since they are the only thing on the gun that has the shares the backgrounds color.
Try a few different rendering modes, lighting and different background colors to see if they still stand out. I really like them crisp though, gives a sharper feeling to the details.
hey man this looks great! really nice presentation
The only thing I would note is the front wire. I reckon you might as well add in a couple more loops, a few more triangles surely won't hurt on this and at the moment it's the only thing that gave away that it was the model instead of the real thing!

If you read my post you will see that I plan on doing both
@TychoVII The only refs I used were the two images posted earlier in the thread
Will continue working on the diffuse and spec maps, still some ways to go before calling it done

Can't wait for more progress on textures.

Something is bothering me with the render though... is it too "sharp"? are the edge scratches to white?
excellent portfolio piece.
