[W.I.P] Mosin Nagant Rifle

Chicken Dip

Hey guys, I am working on this Mosin Nagant at the moment, the setup is post apocalyptic so i want to go for a feel like its been through a lot. I would very much like your comments and crits on it. I have laid down a basic texture so far but i am not really sure if the steel looks right or not. Please let me know all and any ideas. I will be having attachments for it such as a Bayonet, Scope and a Strap. Here are the Images:

A few things:

• The wood is too bright and clean.
• The materials aren't defined well. The metal does not look like metal. The main problem is that you don't have a good specular map. Generally you want to make the specular map from the diffuse and increase the contrast.
• The color of the bullets do not seem to be correct.

Well I love the model I think it looks cool.

The steel

at the minute you steel seem rather dull in terms of its specularity. I dont know if you've got a spec map on there at the min or not.

The modeling looks pretty good, but yeah the texture needs a little work. Have you seen these tutorials by Millenia? They should help you out.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. Yes, i am still working on the textures the Wood i left it rather clean because i will be doing that a bit later, I don't have a Spec map on it yet either. Maybe i should post when i have something more concrete to show.

You'll either need to paint some reflections on it like so, or use a cubemap.
