Classic Spas12 Shotgun

3Dnj

Hi guys !

I don't pos here very often but hey, everything has a start !

Looking for a project to train myself in high poly modeling, I wanted to make a weapon. So I chose the Spas12 because I love Half Life. I learnt a lot in this project, I made a lot of mistake I will take care if I want to make another weapon.

It's about 8000 tris and 2048x2048 diffuse, normal and specular map.


High Poly :


Low poly with baked normal map and occlusion :


Low poly with wire :


Realtime rendering with XoliulShader :


Texture sets :


Ho ! An if someone got some tips to make a good render ^^.

Looks great.

One thing you could do is add circular scratches where the stock unfolds. I imagine there would be wear there?

The metal isnt reading very well , it could use some edge treatment and some signs that someone handled this weapon in combat .

I suggest looking up cool material refs for the effect because right now it seems you only threw it to a puddle of oil or something . scratches , other types of detail that you would see in a weapon that saw combat, basically "tell a story" Good luck !

Hey !

Thanks for your advice. Started to remove some black spots (or at least making them less important in both diff and spec) and to re-work edges. Also added the scratches (Something I wanted to do ^^) and more rust.

I decided to use 3D Coat which was a soft I lerant to use at school but it's was l2years ago ! It's a really usefull soft

Scrapes on the stock rotation axis really makes a difference. I'll agree that the metal could read better. Push the spec a bit more.

Is it better ? (enough for today!)

It's getting there A bit more contraste and variation in the diffuse would be good I think.
Also, to have more separation (specular wise) would help I think : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=55954&d=1313144419

I'm trying really hard ^^

I should made a more important difference between the map metal part and the grip. I made an update on the pump part wich is now less detailled (I found it unreadable)

the last images look much better. i would cranck up the specularity on metallic parts

Lovely man ! Not sure what to say other than what osk said to bump the spec on brushed metal parts

3Dnj

Ok, I bumped it a bit



And the maps (gloss is in Spec alpha)

This looks really great!
