PP-2000 gun

Sir Apple

Hey guys.

I modeled this over the holidays. Its a product of my being bored. I still have to tweak a few things on the hipoly, and maybe add a scope or something silly

Very nice! Love the grip details and welds!

Kaine123

I'm curious how you did the welds? Was it sculpted or generated somehow?

Amsterdam Hilton Hotel

very naise :thumbup:

Pedro Amorim

Is nice. I just dont like the way the grip tapers at the back. I know that is how it looks on the actual gun, but i dunno, I think it would look better if the back of the grip was the same width all the way down, you know, like in any other gun. feels awkward the way they made this. But that's the besides the point. Nice modeling and presentation

Sir Apple

Thanks guys!

@Kaine123 - I used a 3ds max script for the welding. Check it out - http://jokermartini.com/welder/

@Pedro - haha yea i agree. I've never held or fired one, but I can't imagine it being comfortable. Then again, the whole gun is sorta weird and silly in terms of design

Sir Apple

Some different colors

Great work sir apple! I really like the drum magazine. It's super clean and has a look that it could be completely disassembled.

How did you go about adding the grip dot things around the cylinder piece above the barrel?

Sir Apple

Thanks!

I just did that the simplest way - I created a plane, evenly divided it with segments, extruded, beveled and then used bend modifier to wrap it cylindrically, then I just fit it over top of the handle

Jack M.

Nice. Thanks for the quick explanation!

Joost

That's some great modelling! The oval on the back looks a bit weird. Does it look like that on the real gun?

Sir Apple

@Joost - I found variants of the gun with and without that part as well as other areas that slightly change, I decided to keep it as it makes that area look a bit more interesting IMO

Sir Apple

Quick doodle from last night. Its not done as you can see, but I decided to make a little scope to put on top

Odeca

Very clean! top notch

Nice! Are the indented lines floating geo? Any chance of wires? What light setup are you using?

Sir Apple

Thanks guys.

@ghazteh - It is not floating geo, those details are modeled into the mesh. My renders are done in Keyshot. Here are old WIP wires

reedweinstock

Sick!!! What are your base colors for your spec and gloss on the plastic part?

s6

Is that your cage !?:poly122:

With the denseness son. I hope less geometry was involved arriving up to that point.

Looking cool though! My biggest complaint is the ass of the gun is pretty boring IMO. Arguably the most important part of a first person weapon. I'd give a little redesign to that area. Maybe run a charging handle on the left/ride side and have the bolt run out the back or somethin. .02

Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Edit: The muzzle could be thicker as well in my opinion. Right now it's very thin. Typically they have a bit of meat to them (Search 'Muzzle Brake')

Sir Apple

@s6 - Thanks man. No, that mesh density is from a x1 turbosmooth, no worries haha :thumbup: Good points, I'll see what I can do!

coresplendor

Very nice gun, i like it. But i do agree with s6, the rear could use a few more details to make it more interesting.
Aside from that, i just spotted what i think is just a double vertex, easy fix though.
Good job!

Sir Apple

Finished scope modeling

Sir Apple

also here is wires. messy and proud

s6

If the topo is manageable, and works, who cares. Scope looks great man! That topo boggles my mind though lol.

It does feel like the scope is backwards though. I think it would look better if the rear lens had a hood to protect against dirt/glare. It seems like the player would be looking through the wrong end atm.

Sir Apple

hehe. One thing I learned real fast when I got my first industry job is its a waste of production time making a pretty hires wireframe, as long as it works as it should and doesn't make the lowpoly process a living hell, it doesn't matter (within reason). :thumbup: Needless to say I got pretty sloppy this time lols

I do see your point on the scope arrangement, this scope however is based off a Konus series scope, which is set up just as I have it

Sir Apple

Calling the hipoly finished. Decided to leave the rear of the gun accurate to the real thing, I'll leave the rest to texturing

Pedro Amorim

Excelent work. But your images are so compressed. Not sure if it's straight out of keyshot or if it's compressing from your host? Looks bad when i maximize them :S

Sir Apple

Finally got around to doing the LP + Bake on this thing... well, for all but a few parts. Have to fix a few errors here and there :thumbup:

Chase

Subd for that pbr'n! Looking aces in my book

Sir Apple

Texture progress...

Millenia

Liking it otherwise but the mag looks awfully busy. I'd simplify that a lot and mostly focus details/wear/dust/grease/whatever on edges/crevices instead of all the surfaces. Keep it up!

Sir Apple

Thanks man. I get your point on the mag. I was going for something like that but I probably over did it, I'll screw around with it a bit :thumbup:

GTARandom

Very nice stuff here!

Sir Apple

I'm going to call this done, time to move onto something else

I'll probably go back and tweak a few things following some feedback I got. But yea, onto the next! :thumbup:

Sir Apple

Made some changes, now I'm done :thumbup:

beanster

As said before the magazine looks a bit too noisy especially the back of it. Other than that I want to see texture flats :P
