[WIP] Elephant Gun
polycounter lvl 9
Hi all. Here is some "epic" gun I was working on:). Hipoly model is completely finished but I have some doubts about lowpoly version.. Honestly, I want to keep all details but i dont know how much I need triangles for this..
I think polycount will be about 14-18K tris, and this is it's too much so
i will post in this wip low poly progress so maybe you help me optimize this model for good render.. render in UDK..

I second that.... Dat render... That is some legit hard surface work you have here. But that render. Very very nice!

demilich no, this is maxwell render..
But i mean, the render angle is quite strange.. would prefer a FPV render and a side shot. cant see the details in the render you posted
Pedro Amorim I will render final lopoly version from any angle that you want
Plus with the new updates to UDK normals, you won't need to seperate the mesh into smoothing groups on hard edges, meaning UDK won't generate extra verts and cause a possible corrupted mesh when it's brought into the engine with too many verts than it can handle. (happened to me a few times).
and i wil creare hard/soft edges when i baking so mesh in udk will be hard/soft to, or I do not understand something??
tacit math No problem, but I often rewrite my work files and that's all I could find
Low Hah, but i think this is subd-hell))) and where are we going to live when married?
some update
Cheers
you're awsome. i love this style. reminds me of the works of vitaly bulgarov, but it's really, really cool! love the desing and the details!
love the style. awesome job!!
This gun for portfolio and I think that I can have this point of view)
The rest of what you said you're right, and it would be nice if you give me a couple advices for optimizing, because when I'm creating lopoly I'm doing a test bake with major or problem pieces of geometry and if I am unhappy with the result i add some edges)) So I am completely satisfied with lowpoly that you see here...

Are you doing them in Maya ? Can you show it plz ?
How is it that you get booleans to work so cleanly? I'm a bit of a novice but in my experience booleans seems to result in horrible messiness everywhere.
Is there a particular way of using them, or have you just tidied up the extra vertices and stuff really well?
Why isnt this
1. In a video game
2. A dyson vacuum.
Maybe this isnt information something people generally give out. But i just started Zbrush and could use all the tips i can get. Is your workflow something like ---> Concept Mesh in (Zbrush) --> then model in maya --> then back to zbrush for detailing?
I'd love to find out more!
Again freaking amazing.
Dat' edge flow.
I know you showed the alpha texture for your cables, but could I ask, were the cables made in Zbrush?? And if so how do you get the texture to evenly apply to them?
Thanks!!
Booleans you say? hmm I think I'll give it a try, I've always been told to stay away from those lol
