Couldn't find the old 3d thread with the search function, thus started this thread.









So far I figure that the paint could use a little variation to break up the noise. Once the challenge is over I'll revisit it some more.

The model itself looks great, but I agree with you on the diffuse. It's very noisy and makes it hard to see some of the details, especially around the fore grip area.

Do you have reference you were using for the diffuse that you could post?

Nice work.

I have this link in my bookmarks. I just replace "search" with the term I'm searching.

Agree with others on diffuse crits.

Also, the edge of the viewer lens on the scope is a bit messy, maybe try to clean that up.

I like the model. I suggest a complete redo of the texture. Doesn't look like a gun texture at all.

I think you could possibly start a new base texture and use your current texture as a light overlay?

John Warner

hey man.

i would remove the overlay texture entirely. i find that when you're making a material, it helps to study the material for just a little while, until you understand a few little key components that make that material look like that material. then, paint that shit. makes it clear.

it's temping to put a texture overlay over somethin because you think "ah, well this is metal, so i'm gonna throw some metal on there, case closed" but it almost always looks wacky, unless the person working with the overlays understands the surface.

the sad thing is, there's just no way around understanding the surface that you're trying to render. remove that texture overlay, get some reference, and take your time...

bmasterson

i agree with you. i was actually suggesting he keep the original layer for color variation.

dv8ix

But then again, The texture style isnt too bad. It has that dirty grungy look to it. Maybe just more refinning of the details and such...
