decided to do this gun next on a suggestion from gauss. started the blockout so far as a lil speed model.

Looking forward to seeing progress.
Not sure how final everything is, but at the top of the wood grip, there's a little curve indent where the selector fits into. Just a minor observation, coming along great!
Keep it up, nice work as always!
Cheers!
Nice work! Interesting how the cylinder opens up.
Oh, Jack, yes it all makes sense now.
teeny update
realized like 5 minutes ago that the barrel is the bottom one, not the top, lol, so i'll have to close that up.
The bullets for this gun are rather odd; they're cylinders rather than the traditional shape, and they protrude a bit from the clip.
The barrel is not the top cylinder, but the lower one; the upper cylinder is for the laser sight.
didn't really have a morning today so i just did lowpoly/uvs for a couple parts after work
heres another shot of the HP
If you turned a subdivision down to export to marmoset, then nevermind!
Don't be so scroogey on those polys man, you can make those guns really flawless, why not go for it : P Step away from those third person specs, it only hurts your portfolio without reason. You can always go down, nobody is questioning that
Also your edges are like over the top soft. If thats your style and it should appear a little stylized, I get that, but in case you aim for realism, I would use bit little less chunky edges definitely. I feel it hurts the model.
There is no reason to have perfect edge consistency either. Not all edges are the same width (in RL) Some are softer some are razor sharp, you can play with that. It feels like you tried making all exactly the same.
Proportions and all looks spot on man, but its your game, just want to help!
didn't have a lot of time today again. usually i get up at 5:30 so I can work on shit but last couple days it's been more like 7:30 which screws me up. i wanted to get something done today though so i did the cylinder and hammer after work. altogether it's like 2k so far. been UVing progressively as well. normally i would do test bakes first but hey... nothings packed yet.
Oops! I really didn't mean this in a bad way, i genuinely thought he'd used old-school maps for the Atchisson since it didn't feel properly PBR to me. Looking at it again, I can see why I thought so; a lot of values are not conform PBR standards, it's done in still a bit of an old-school mentality that I saw many of our artists do when we just got started with it.
But whatever, if critique like that is not appreciated I'll shut up.
I actually went and checked his values and most of them are quite close to what I would expect for pbr, maybe a few % over in some cases, his wood material was like 25-29% sRGB which is 5-7% linear, so totally in line with the typical 2-8% insulators reflect in (plus its a lacquered material, so you get reflection from the wood itself and coating).
There was some minor stuff like subtle variation in the spec that doesn't make a whole lot of sense physically, but it wouldn't really make much of a difference to the end result.
Haha, no nothing like that, I thought it was just another "oh you're not using metalness, must not be pbr" reply that I see so often these days. Sorry if I came off like a dick. I would actually be curious to know which values you thought were wrong.
got the frame about half-done, meanwhile did a bake test for these parts
Nice modeling.
i don't usually do HP reduction to get an LP, usually i do a blockout and then fork it into both the HP and the LP. on this particular project i went block > HP > LP, and well, it's just a bad way to work imo. huge waste of time deleting all this shit and stitching it together.
Is PBR like the new thing? or is using diffuse/norm/spec like going away?

Most of these wont be too noticeable with textures but those that will, will make the whole thing seem half assed.
e: annd you ninja'd me with basic textures pic
dialing in values here
Can we get another Rising Sun camo skin?
PBR refers to a loose collection of rendering features (conservation of energy, linear space lighting, fresnel, etc) which won't be going anywhere because they're realistic elements of how light works. Diffuse/spec/gloss is just an alternative to color/metalness, nobody knows if one of those will come to dominate or if we'll just keep using both for a while, they're kind of interchangeable and it doesn't matter a lot.
I like the extra control you get with D/S/G but i also realize it lets me do unrealistic things sometimes compared to a metalness workflow. I've been meaning to try working with metalness, i actually just keep forgetting lol, but i understand it fine.
Someone asked me something similar in a pm, so I'll repost it here as well.
Sorry for tl;dr Ben
Thanks for taking the time to post wire-frames and everything as you make this.
