Blaisoid's sci-fi gun(s)
Hey guys,
I was getting into the Nostromo project but got distracted by Blaisoid's killer gun concepts here
I hoping to do a few of them, but here's the hi poly for the first.
And the concept is very bottom on the right.

Have fun with the guns and texture them
There's no floaters, but I'll definitely check the extrusions. I was hoping their bevels would be enough, but you may be right. Thanks for pointing it out
i think the grip would be easier to hold without extruded parts.
those dots could also be smaller (and in bigger amount), maybe it's not clear on concept but i was going for something like dots on walther P99's grip.
also, it seems you misinterpreted some of the small plates on the body.
the ones on blue part above the ammo cylinder thing were supposed to be flat, and the one with small "vent" on dark part is actually a cavity rather than convex.
other than that the gun looks great, keep it up!
Blasoid, thanks again for letting me model these! They're a ton of fun.
Fredd 2303: Cheers mate! Glad ya dig
And before I texture that one, I started modeling this one, though I still have more to do.
A couple of things i noticed on the second one
The bit on the top of the barrel, the curve left looks like it need tightening up a bit and the curve on the right looks like it needs relaxing, in the concept it looks to have two curves rather then one if you get what i mean?
Hope that helps and keep up the cracking work!
few areas feel more blocky than on the concept - for example that part on top, with laser aim thing. it has rounded edges in original while your version made it more flat and rectangle like.
the back part of gun is also slightly angled on concept, and not perfectly vertical. i know there's bunch of sloppy lines on the pic but this time it was intentional
@benc I hadn't even noticed that! Thanks for pointing it out
@makecg Thanks Lance
@Blaisoid Dude, I'm glad you approve. I keep hoping you'll check these out and crit, since you know the concept better than anyone. haha. If you dig the models, I must be doing something right. I'll make those changes asap. Planning on doing one or two more after this.
Beautiful models and i love the bake. Want to see this babe textured!
@Chris Thanks man! I think you're right about the grip. I'll go bake and rebake at some point to get something cleaner. So far, the plan is to finish the HP of the second pistol; then move on to one of the submachine gun concepts. After than I'll get some lo polys and textures rolling.
@wirrexx I use xnormal and that works for me. I just explode the model, make a cage, and use the raycast distance calculator. Seems to do the trick every time. And thanks! Glad you dit them
I haven't made the other changes quite yet, but I started the handle really quick
And around the barrel maybe, so it gives the look that they are intersecting?
Hope it helps
Cheers
damage seems a bit excessive, other than that it looks pretty sweet.
I'm not digging the texture work ATM, I feel it's a bit noisey. To much fine detail, try using broader strokes. Sometimes less is more when it comes to guns.
Also throw in some edge highlights.
Another thing why it looks off, is that you are using a solid color for the painted metal. Even so, you should add some bare metal overlays to add some detail. It doesn't have to be very powerful, just enough to break up the uniformity of the plate. You could even think of adding some fine horizontal scratches, like it's been holstered a lot of times.
Everyone struggles at first with texturing. I should know, since I'm in the same boat as you. Just keep at it and you're bound to get better. Looking forward to future updates.:)
