Model 29 44 Magnum Revolver

Hi Poly peeps

my current project is a Model 29 44 Magnum Revolver.













tri count currently is 2993 unloaded. not sure how you work it out for loaded. do you count the tris in all six bullets or just the first one?

anyhow, C&Cs welcome

thx

Those edges on the high poly are extremely sharp, you should really loosen them up, and give a wider smoothed edge, it will bake well that way.

Yeah, I just saw this on another thread. The edges are WAY too tight and will not bake nice at all. Make them a lot smoother so you smoothness baked to the lowpoly edges.

As BenHenry said, the edges are too sharp.

The low poly could be more optimized as well.

Thanks for the feedback guys. guess there's plenty of work for me still to do

@ ausernottaken: the bullets are actually separate meshes for the reload anim

thx

thx

thankd for all the comments guys. textures (diff,norm,spec, gloss & reflection mask) all got reduced to 1024*1024. think am gonna call this done unless theres anything anyone can suggest

thx

That looks ace! Great work. The scratches and damage on the metal seems to just be a texture overlay so they don't have much history going on. You should have the scratches appear in eares where the metal parts grind against eachother, and when you have those random scratches that could be caused by things like dropping it on the floor you should consider how the surface would interact. In the case of the cut going across the part between the barrel and the chamber the cut would most likely fade off as the surface recedes, and then comes back once the rock or whatever caused it hits the piece on the other end jutting out. wear and tear will mostly occur on raised and exposed areas.

This is really nice! I am far too late with this and I don't expect you to change it but the bottom of the handle annoys me a little bit :P I think you should have a bevel on the bottom to soften it out as it ends very abruptly!

Really nice other than that!

dickiegriffin

Thanks for the comments guys. I should watch those scratches. Maybe I'll go back and adjust the offending bits at some point. As for the handle, it seams to differ depending on the reference image (just to be awkward ).

Thx - D
