WIP Revolver

I've been doing this revolver for a little while and am trying to shoot for a game-ready first-person revolver.

So I've been making the high poly in Maya, does it look like it's ready to be thrown into zbrush? Here's an imgur album of everything.

included the reference of the revolver I'm making.

Any critiques as far as what I'm missing, should add on in maya right now, or does it look ready to be exported into Zbrush now?

There's a lot of parts I want to dynamesh together to make it flow really well, I figure just get two somewhat decent shapes clipping and dynamesh it and clean it up. Is that a good workflow?

Looks like a good start. You're missing a few parts such as the rear sight and the hammer's rotation point. In the ref the hammer has that round bit just behind it which would be its rot point. I would also add some detail where the hammer goes through the frame to strike the bullets.

While thats not exactly what ur referencing, you can see the shape of the hammer better here. part 21
some details like screws you could leave for after the zbrush phase but i would get in all the major structural details before bringing it into zbrush.

Just so you know, you can insert images into the thread by clicking that yellow mountain icon when you're in the message editor.

You'll also want to get some more reference photos than just the one image if you don't already have it. The edges on the grip look much too sharp. In the reference image the grip looks much more smooth/round.

Fixed the issues after a quick haitus.

Any other comments or crits before I start sculpting?

Whoa! Those details are looking NICE man! Keep it up!

Got to finish a lot more detailing on it. Retopologized the chamber for a test and it was able to pick up a lot of detail, which is good. Got a lot more work to do, especially on the handle and hammer.

Can't wait to start texturing it.

Anyone have any comments about the barrel texturing? Is it sucky? Shitty? Great? Let me know please !
