Hard Surface Thread

Call Me Snoopy

Okay, so I've been idle for a while, took some time off and now I'm back.
As the thread title says, this will be my thread for hard surface models(weapons, objects, vehicles, etc). I will also be working with texturing as I feel that is the area that I'm lacking in.

I saw millennia's shotgun tutorial and I watched parts of the modeling but the texturing part was what I was into. I didn't do exactly what was in the video, I branched off and went my own path.

Here's what I've got.



Crits and comments welcome, of course.

I've watched the video you're talking about. But I can't remember if that gun had an ejection port on the side. I think I remember him saying it doesn't.

It ejects spent casings from the bottom

Nice job on the texturing, looks great!

Looks good,

did you use 3ds max 2012 with this? when I watched this tutorial he was using "graphite tools" which made the high poly WAY simpler to create.

anyway keep it up!

I didn't use 3ds max 2012 but I did use the 2010 version, which has the graphite tools. I don't know how much of a difference there is between the 2010 and 2012 versions of 3ds max, but I assume there isn't that much of a difference in terms of the functionality of the graphite tools.

Anyway, I worked a bit on it, I have evenings free to do what I can after work.


I will be making a sniper rifle as the next step from this one.
It'll be the Barrett 50 Cal.


I'll start on it after work.

C&C welcome.

Here's what I have so far for the sniper.
Any crits and comments are welcome.

Doesn't even look finished, you suck dude you're an idiot. I hate you so much. Just kidding, only thing I can say is don have 90 degree angles but I dont really see any.

Call Me Snoopy

Hahaha, awesome.

Well, here's where I'm at right now.

C&C would be appreciate on the modeling as well as the texturing, especially the texturing once I get to that part.

Hello Everybody!

Here's my progress for tonight. I lowered the barrel down a bit and made the muzzle thing a bit thinner and smaller. I also made a scope for the rifle, because a sniper won't do much good without a scope, right? :poly142:


Here's the First Person View.


There's still a few things to do before I call the High Poly done.
C&C Welcome.

Excellent choice. I think you did a great job in the specular map. The last image you posted I would say the gun looks a bit plain maybe give it some more shape or something to help it out in the third person view thats just me though. The scope however looks nice.

Call Me Snoopy

Thanks for the reply, nufftalon.

I agree that the gun is rather plain when looked from 3rd person view. The gun itself is plain in real life.


Here is the FPV. I added the handle to give it some visual interest in the 1st person view.


I will start working on the low poly unless anyone has something to say about the high poly model.
Let me know what you all think.
