Energy revolver (PBR attempt)

UPDATE


hi, I found this nice concept from Chris Drysdale on deviantArt ( http://spex84.deviantart.com/ )
Looking for something simple for my first PBR attempt

concept


And a quick blocking

Amsterdam Hilton Hotel

funny, i was just lookin at that gun.

blockout looks good. only weak part to me is the top of the frame, looks like a box extruded up and in, as a shape it just screams "i'm a 3d model and not a real object." changing it early in the blockout might be a good idea imo. Integrating the sights with some sort of cutout or slot in the frame would help it

thanks for the tip, try something in high poly. ho and its funny too because its after seeing your very nice bulky revolver I want mine too

Given that it's a revolver, it doesn't look like the middle bit actually will revolve..

semantics

the concept shows the action

little update on HighPoly, forget the floaters

low_seb

almost done for the high, cell still to do

Looking good, you got some tight edges in some places on your high poly...

low_seb

low poly done an test bake (2500 tri), now I move to sculpt some detail

Looks pretty good so far. Very promising!

I would add more geo to the hammer; it's going to be seen up close and you don't want the illusion to break because you missed adding a couple of loops here.

Looking forward to textures.

low_seb

thanks, yeah you are right I am relatively low in poly can do that
Detalling and sculpt

What kind of design are we possibly thinking of the grip plate? I know it's a somewhat blank matte in the concept, but maybe we could jimmy out something cool.

low_seb

I dont know, I like this cheap plastic feeling,its part of the design I think

BasicallyNormal

This is definitely coming along, heads up though the outer part of your hover geo normals are slightly off with the surface around them.

starting the texure, I am newbee to PBR So I try to define my material to separate them
My metals seems a little dull right now, any advices?




Thanks for viewing

For the metal in PBR, the closer you are to chrome, the darker your diffuse/albedo is, and the brighter/stronger your reflectance/specular/metalness is.

If I were you I would try darkening the diffuse and making the specular brighter.


Closer to what you have in the small cylinder part in the front.

low_seb

thanks for the tips, much better now. close to the end I think

GrungyStudios

Looks good man. Some minor edge wear on some places like corners and what not would really take it a step further

low_seb

thanks, added some detail, and edge wear, seems done for me, what do you think?

I think the metal looks a bit too uniform and noisy. Maybe try to give it larger shapes in specular and give slightly different values to the different components in order to differentiate them?
