Please keep in mind that I still have a lot of things I'm going to add and change to the high poly. Also please ignore the inside of the upper receiver.
Should hopefully get the high poly done soon, if I don't give up on this project like I tend to do these days.

Would appreciate any feedback!

Looking pretty good so far, how'd you create the create the grip?

I'd pay attention to some areas like the iron sights, that strap thing on the butt of the gun, and the rails since the edges look a little too tight.

Joost · Mar 2015

Thanks!
Everything is just traditional sub-d with quad chamfer+ edge creasing for control loops. Can post wires if anyone's interested? Nothing special though. for the upper receiver tube I'm using dynamesh booleans in Zbrush.
Yeah some of the edges are too tight because I've just done a smoothing group quad chamfer on them for now. Will sort that out later.

Damn that grip looks sexy. You're handling these shapes very well so far. Keep it up can't wait to see more

CapableWizard · Mar 2015

Great start so far, the booleaned areas came out really clean! Keep it up!

Joost · Mar 2015

Polygoblin Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it!

CapableWizard Thanks Taylor, still waiting for your thread!

Was ill for ages and I've been working on a new HDRi project but I have managed to make a little bit of progress. Still a few things to do on the high poly. Crits would be appreciated!

Joost · Apr 2015

Render is done in Marmoset with an HDRI which is part of a new pack that I will release soon.

Here's a quick wire screengrab. Not very clean though and the upper receiver tube was done in Zbrush so it has an obscene amount of polys.

I used this workflow on the upper receiver tube.

I've started texturing this with substance designer. First time using it so it's taking quite a while to get to grips with it. I'm planning on doing a direct comparison with Ddo afterwards. It definitely needs more tweaking. Edge wear is too strong among other things. If anyone has any crits on the texturing that would be great.

Also should I use substance painter for some more context sensitive texturing? The point in using designer was to see how far I could get with just procedurals and some tiling noise inputs. I reckon it would benefit a lot from some unique details like scratches around the mode selector switch and magazine.

Hey Joost looks nice and clean.
Which Materials are you using in Substance Painter?

Joost · Aug 2015

Thanks Gazu! This is just substance designer at the moment. Still contemplating whether or not to use painter.

Gazu · Aug 2015

Ah ok, because im @ Texturing,too.
So i need some Mat Ideas

Pegbird · Aug 2015

Looking good. The material on the grips came out really well.

Only crit is that the edge wear could use some refinement. I can see some edges that are not very exposed that are actually highly damaged and some edges that are very exposed that have comparatively little damage. Its also looking a bit too uniform on the heat vents on the upper receiver.

Would love to see a Ddo version for comparisons sake

Joost · Aug 2015

Thanks Ahron! Yeah it's a bit tricky with substance designer to get the edge wear and dirt to only appear in logical places.
I've made a few more tweaks here http://imgur.com/a/o7hIs

Will report back with some more progress soon hopefully.
