Shotgun model and texture practice
polycounter lvl 13
Well, I decided to make a thread for this because i'll like more critique and comments on my current progress in texturing.
I made this shotgun (KC-23-1) kinda just to practice more H-modelling and decided to further refine my texturing techniques and abilities, managed to texture wood for the first time here...personally i thought i enjoyed doing the wood rather than the metal even though i think that my wood is insanely meh.
Anyways, I would love critiques and comments from the community and thank you for your patience!
PS: posting my first pass but received some quick critique from WAYWO
PPS: the orange on the stock is supposed to be wood dings and scratches
1st pass:
EDIT: lost the file due to imgur losing it and me not keeping a spare
2nd pass:
Diff,norm,spec(scaled from 2k to 1k):
also will use dropbox in future to host pics...imgur seems to lose some quality :S

Aside from that, I'm not a huge fan of the front grip areas texture. Is it rubber? I can't quite figure out what material it is.
Do you have reference you can post?
Thanks!
the only key modification i made to the original ref was the part where the shell comes out.
the front grip is supposed to be plastic,the part used to be cleaner but someone suggested to me that it should have some wear to keep the general uniform wear which i had...i should stop using damage/rust as an excuse to add detail

and yes i just noticed at the trigger guard the bottom section is too wide, i should have shrunk the bottom even further...dammit this is what happens when I make something and don't start posting during its modelling stages...did not intend to be a serious project but eventually I went all out because I wanted to.
