Been workin on some guns in my spare time but wanted to do something besides your day to day modern stuff. So I present this prototype called the Furrer 1919 designed by Adolf Furrer, who had a weird obsession with sideways actions...and the toggle-lock. Workin on the unwrap right now but here's the high poly.
Now that work has gotten a bit less intense for the moment finally found the time to work on this guy some more Here's low with normal/AO applied and tri count currently sitting at 6654.
After many months of procrastinating I've finally gotten to texturing this weird thing! Still a work in progress, much left to do. Matching the reference more than trying to make it look like the typical blued receiver, it's for the most part completely worn down to the bare metal.
genius! man, it's a rare treat for me to see a gun i've never seen before. somehow i've never seen this one. i assume you got the refs from forgottonweapons.com? anyway, looking forward to the blued metal, though save your layers so that you could keep/save out different metal finishes... not that i need to tell you that. convincing materials, you did a great job on the wood especially. i seldom see anyone get the spec/material read on wood stocks from this era, but you nailed it. what a cool design, thanks for posting it.
Oh dang, that is amazing work, mate, and I am totally filing away that ForgottenWeapons site for future reference. I didn't even know a site like that existed. AWESOME!
Something about that metal material really pops and just overall seems to read quite well. I've tried to tackle that antique metals look before and it's really easy to end up going overboard, but here it feels very nicely understated. Same goes for the wood stock - It looks old and a little worn, but well-kept.
Could I request a quick render that shows off the muzzle opening a bit more? I'm having a hard time understanding the shapes I'm seeing on the end there - looks almost double-barreled in some shots.
Thanks guys! @Brian I'll try to remember to get something up later, but what I think you're seeing is just the mount to the front sight. It's another cylindrical shape that's part of the muzzle and mounted in stock, so sort of takes the shape of a second barrel.
@Dim Thanks man, good idea with the wear, I'll likely leave this guy alone for now so I can move on to something new but I'll try to incorporate that on the next thing I do.

Only crit I'd say is to maybe darken and roughen up the areas where a lot of sweat and grime would accumulate from handling.
Looks awesome though!
Agreed. :thumbup:
