Fallout AER9 Laser Rifle (WIP)

Hey guys,

Just thought I would share my latest project I am working on, I have got the Fallout jitters and had to do something Fallout related by the time it is released! I've also been playing lots of Fallout Shelter too.

Due to this uncontrollable urge to play something Fallout related I am now creating a next-gen Laser Rifle which I hope to take into UE4 and get some pretty materials on it!

Here are some Work In Progress screenshots of where I am at! Still quite a bit to do but feel it's on the right track, if anyone has critiques at this time please let me know before I get too far into it

Thanks!

Lookin good so far, that grip looks hella uncomfortable, but not really a visual issue.

@Pixelpatron haha yeah, its not the most practical of grips. It is what the reference images are like though and the post apocalyptic world is not a soft comfy place :P I have not smoothed anything yet either so it should look a bit softer soon, and with a material applied it should come together.

thanks for your comment

Looking good! I'll be looking forward to seeing it textured.

Doomathon

Good start! You working from a concept piece? It would be nice to see that too if you have one.

@BeardedMike Yeah I am looking forward to texturing it and practicing my materials... hopefully I'll be able to do a good job

@Doomathon I found some useful side/top/front views of the weapon from a google search, and then using other images in google to get an idea of what it could be put together and little details.

Thanks for your comments

Afternoon guys/gals!

I have been working on this over the last couple days after work... not too far to go with the modelling side of things I believe. Then i can get onto texturing it

Any critiques are most welcome as long as they are constructive haha

So here is where I am at:




Thanks!

This looks nice so far, but the texture you are using to display it is making it almost impossible to look at it. It is way too bright and full of contrast it looks like it is just an AO bake. Try using a dimmer and more shiny texture to show it off.

@noosence Hey, thanks! I have taken your advice and hopefully have made a less eye destroying render

I have almost finished with the high poly, just a few bits to finish like the back of it. I'll proceed to smooth some of it, add a few edge loops here and there, then I'll create the bolts so I can bake them down into the low poly.



Here is an update!





Thanks!

Doomathon

If you're planning on baking some of those smaller holes into the low-poly, I'd make sure to cap em, unless you're going to model them in. It may cause some errors when baking down
