Decided to model a sci-fi AA Gun.
The High Poly is pretty much finished, and the results so far:

And a fancy GI render:

Suggestions and feedback are highly appreciated!

    Hey man! Looks really good! Be careful, the keyshot render looks like it is flying, sorry if it is like that, but I personally find it weird. Everything else looks great, I can´t wait to see the textured low poly.

    Remove the shadows in Keyshot, or Right click the model, and "Move to floor/ground". But part of the model is already touching the floor, so I guess you need to adjust it. Keep going man.

    looking good so far. Some variation/shades of the colours would be nice. Texture screams dDo at the moment, is that what you're using?

    Nope.
    Substance Designer. You are probably referring to the edge wear. Just started the texturing, so the wear and tear will appear more natural as I go further. Also, going to give it a Painter pass, for more specific detail.
    As for the colors, I am currently trying a new color scheme. Tried to stay consistent with the concept, but the concept is a bit blend. Should I go full blown scifi-colorful, or more "US Airforce"?

    I generally like it, but it looks way to light on the back and heavy on the front. I think splaying out the legs like a german ww2 flak cannon would really help in making it look more like a Flak cannon and not just a cannon of some sort. If it's meant to be bolted to the ground then perhaps some sort of mount/base would also work. There also doesn't seem to be any sort of ammunition source (lasers?) Adding some sort of detail to the model to account for the ammunition would also add a lot to it I think.

    Where does the user sit? Is it remotely operated or does the user sit inside that circle? A seat and some control instuments would be cool. Maybe a ladder. Thinking of such things can really make your model stand out and be seen as something real.

    **EDIT sorry, I somehow overlooked you're highpoly there. :thumbup:
    I still stand by the "looks light on the back and heavy on the front" statement though.

    I really need to sit down and learn substance designer better.

    Nice improvement, I see you went with the US Airforce style texture, good choice. Wear and tear looks better. Adding some slight damage on the yellow labels you did would probably benefit this. The labels seem so fresh and brand new, but when you look at the scratches on the metal, you know this thing has history. Especially the yellow stripes on the bottom. You could just go to that layer in photoshop and use a scratch brush as an eraser and damage it up a bit. Would add just a beat more realism

    But thats just a suggestion. Also, are you going to be including the seat, and also those metal bars? I see its there in the first images you posted but not in the most recent. It adds a good amount of detail to the piece, you should really include it.

    As i said this is doing great, keep us updated

    Still trying to figure out how it manages to feed ammunition to the barrel(projectile or energy weapon?) The entire firing mechanism is the bit behind the "screen" there it seems.
    The texture work and such is absolutely great though and at this point it's just little design stuff which I'm sure you would have no problem adjusting to.
    You got the technique down for sure. Great job.

    Looking great but that blue emissive part doesn't work for me. Its detracting and hard to tell what its for. Besides that this a win for me

    Thanks alot duders!
    That blue emissive thingy is the targeting crosshair. Should just make a sci-fi screen in photoshop, and dump it on the screen.
