He's some stuff I noticed. Your spec map isn't really doing you justice at the moment.
A lot of the wear you have on the gun like scratches or grunge need to be really subtle on the diffuse and then bumped up in the spec so it reacts naturally with the light. Would you mind putting up your texture sheets? You could get a lot of good crits if you did that. good job : )
Im not super familiar with this pistol, but it looks a little thin, i know i kind of had the same issue when i modelled a pistol. Id double check against your reference.
@TrevorJ - Hey thanks man but for now i am concentrating on getting its texture right.Again, Thanks for your inputs.I will do what i can...but right now, i really want to nail down it's texture.
@Deforges - Thank You soo much for that paintover.
I was also wondering How to give plastic more wear and tear.Perhaps more Grundge is the right idea.
I am thinking that if i increase sharpness of my Noise part in Normal Map(Grip Area), it will do the the Trick...
I completely agree that my scratches on gun are not dynamic.I am gonna revisit my Spec Map and improve it.
Tone down the scratches on the diffuse. If you have them in a layer (you should), just reduce the opacity or change it to overlay or soft light. Given that they're really bright on the specular it should look nice.
Hm. I thought you had a crapton of unnecessary polygons, but it doesn't appear to be nearly as bad as I imagined. That said, there are still quite some places to optimize.
Not sure if it has much use posting it now, but it'll be help for future models at least:
red is definitely remove shit
orange is probably remove it
green is add/change to optimize
blue is add to improve visuals
The most important parts to note on this pistol are the very dense screw, the tiny ridge on the magazine, and probably take note of the complex geo at the thumb rest too - as it is hardly noticeable in the beauty renders while you still have a fairly choppy silhouette in other spots/
brighten up my Metal Spec and reduced opacity of my scratches on diffuse.
Please tell me how is it looking now??
They're still far too bright. The specular should be doing most of the work for the scratches. They should only be just visible on the diffuse. Look at your refs; as a static image you can't see many scratches, but as soon as you hold the gun in real life you'll notice scratches and flaws as you turn it around in your hand.

I am rendering this in Marmoset Engine.Lighting is default.
