[TUTORIAL] Weapon creation (M37 Ithaca)
polycount sponsor
4 hours 25 mins. Probably not as good especially texturing wise as Racer's tuts, but maybe it's of some use to somebody!

Just a little nitpick, go a bit easy on your keyboard sometimes, especially in the beginning of the texturing part it is really loud.
But as I said, just nitpicking, can't really complain when someone takes the time to put together a tutorial like this ^^
I'm making a gun now, and I was dreading having to texture it because I really don't know where to start. But I'm sure this'll help.
Now I'm stoked to make some weapon/mechanical stuff
"Millenia's Shotgun Tutorial", gotta remember that phrase because I'm gonna be saying it quite a bit
Thanks <--- understatement
I needed this for such a long time and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just wait until this bad boy makes the rounds and finds it's way to the blender community - they are gonna eat this up. (And good timing too, because blender only recently got N-GONS)
This tutorial is legendary as far a as I'm concerned. One of the true hidden treasures of the internet for people who are learning about games. You have no idea how much some of us needed this :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Christmas is still 6 months away and I already got the greatest gift... Thank you...

I am sure this will help a ton of people. But I do have a critique of the video process. I know it is odd to critique the tutorial process, but I can see many turned off by some annoyances in your tutorials. I would like to note a couple of things that made your videos almost un-watchable for me, I had to WILL myself to finish your videos.
1. Hearing a persons keyboard during a video will make me turn off the video almost instantly. It is just irritating. On top of that yours sounded like you have hammers as fingers, especially when you press enter.
2. Drinking / eating during a tutorial is another reason for me to immediately shut off the video. Hearing deep guttural groans and grunts makes my stomach turn.
3. Clearing ones throat / swallowing deeply is another thing that makes my stomach turn. It is something we all do, but during a process like this, we have to try to avoid it.
I know it seems like I am nitpicking here ( I am), but like I stated I had to almost force myself to finish the videos.
I think it is a nice addition to the sea of tutorials and I enjoy your work, but for the future I think you could reach a wider audience with some minor fixes to your recording process.
I might overdub the audio at some point to be a bit better (and with 100% less keyboard)
This end product looks pretty cool! Think I might have to give this tutorial a spin and see if i cant learn anything new
I would love if you could make more tutorials like this, i dont mind if its rought or not, just feel free to do it, i will be really happy to watche them
Cheers
Sounds like a great idea. You are talented and have a nice workflow, so I hope to see more!
in some ways.. still sticking with maya
- sadly without textools and xoliulshader
Only alternatives i find, are marmoset and 3dcoat/roadkill..
or am i wrong ?
Alphavader: I don't know anything about Maya, I've always been a Max user myself.
I kinda like the "unprofessional-ness" of the tutorial, some of your mannerisms made me chuckle a bit. Again thanks for the great tut Millenia .
