TMP-18 Deus Ex Machine Pistol

Xoliul

I looked back on my portfolio after 6 months at Splash and I feel like I can already do better than anything in there. So I started a weapon from this concept I quite liked.
I'm aiming for flawless quality on this one, with Brink-like specs.

So, almost done with the HP after a few evenings:


(with shader materials applied)

std material to show the model off better:

Millenia

Damn tasty. Can't wait for the texture!

respawnrt

I wanted do to this myself at some point (because deus ex ), so here are some things i noticed.

Jessica Dinh

Did you really have to post above my gun?? lol xD

This looks awesome, inspirational

Computron

Super High-res Wires please.

Add the ridges to the back side of the handles and the dots on the butt stock.


IIRC, DX:HR didn't do the guns justice with a custom baked normal maps so this should be interesting.

SPYFF

Good concept, master! I wait more picture, and wires if possible.

Xoliul

Hey guys, some good points. I did some work on it at lunch but forgot the file at work.
Computron: I think I'll leave those dots for Photoshop. I also don't really like how they wrap around the stock. And the ridges are not really geometry ridges I think, it's supposed to represent some sort of translucency in the plastic? It's a bit weird, but it's definitely not a geometry thing imo. Makes no sense to have ridges on the back anyway.

So I think the HP is about done. I changed a bunch of smaller things. Feels like the tweaks took as long as modelling the entire thing hah.





wires here

Oh it's sexy! From the grabs it looks like you still haven't issued those areas pointed out by respawnrt. Maybe just the angle? Looking forward for some bakes!

Xoliul

Oh does it look like that ? I gave the front one a bulge and worked on the rear one as well. Maybe it's just the light on that part?

Lucas Annunziata

Might just be me, but the circle indents around the screws seem a bit smaller on yours than in the concept. It might be helpful to post otho shots to compare directly to the concept.

In any case, this is looking really solid.

Xoliul

You're right, the bottom ones are bigger. Those on the front grip part seem a bit deeper as well. I'll adjust that.

sltrOlsson

Yeah, the handles looks good. I'm thinking of the bulge in the back, right above/behind the handle.

Very nice man, good to see you doing a weapon for a change!

cool weapon concept excited to see some work from you always a fan. modeling looks great so far look forward to seeing more.

Vilmore

make it flawless dude!

Xoliul

Holy cow, over 4 years since I posted this...

Anyway, I did this during some Substance Painter demo's. Almost done, might need some more polishing, could probably do with better presentation in Marmoset or something.
