District 9 Arcgun

Dimsane

Hi everyone, here are some pictures of the weapon that I did. I'll start the lowpoly after some changes in the shape and wire and finally make a real-time asset probably rendered in UDK.
Can't wait to start texturing this stuff.

This is awesome man looks great, I dont do weapons really so I cant really give any crazy feedback from what I see I say it looks sweet, sexy work man

This has been on the list of weapons I want to make for a long time. Looks great man.

Dimsane

thank you guys. Next post will be low and wire, with normal map

Finally finished UV's and normal baking;



After duplicate symmetry parts and objects used twice or more, I get a little bit more poly than expected .

Texture time !



There is two version of the paint for this gun (like each district 9 weapons I think) so I will try to make the both at the same time with separate color and stuff.



color mask are wip, not matching totaly with the ref. I will fix that with 3D paint... not sure wich tool yet , maybe mari 2.0

Looking good so far. Nice hipoly. How many tris did you end up with? Can't wait to see more from the textures.

Dimsane

well, about 18k. I admit it's maybe too much for the current games, but the concept was not really designed for video game I guess. Also I do not want to lose silhouette.

I have already removed some geometry and bake some part again but I really want to start texturing so..

Dimsane

a small step in my texture

HP looks really cool and with the texture its really starting to come around. Interested to see the bake...if that's where its going

im liking the edgewear, looking sweet

Really nice piece. What did you model it with?

Dimsane

Its a baked model, I guess my polycount is a bit high . I can reduce it a little but I dont want to affect silhouette.. I will try If I can save more then 1k or more.

modeled in maya and texturing in mari 2

So, I made some little change and try to make something with the maya viewport 2.0.



about the model;
done with maya (normal map rendering too), texturing in Mari 2.0 with some tweak in photoshop.
18k tri with 3*4k maps (normal, spec and diffuse).

Hope you like it. I am sure I could make a better texture for it but getting very bored about this art so I start an environment project for my "empty like the void of space" portfolio.
