Hi everyone. Didn't though I will ever try making CSGO skin, but this theme really got me hooked.

As I am 0 of 2d artist I decided to torture myself in zbrush haha and bake weapon later

At first I cleaned Bizon model a bit and apied turbosmooth to it with smooth groups on in max.
Exported that to zbrush, dynameshed, projected to dublicates and so on and on so get quite clean model to work on.

After that with mix of sculpt and modeling in max started to getting where I want to go. I am however still far away.

Hey Konras, I like this a lot. The ammo however reminds me a lot of https://csgostash.com/skin/680/PP-Bizon-Fuel-Rod I really love your design, but hopefully Valve won't think this is an issue

Also, add some reference art

I think rules says you need it

Konras · May 2016

Oh damn thanks Neil. You saved my ass. Somehow I missed this Bizon you linked me now. I will redo this idea on my weapon. Even if Valve would ignore this, for me its unacceptable.

As for reference images from what I understand from rules its only for last post with finished submission to show what has been influencing you. However yeah I should make some mix image now just to set up the mood what I am aiming for.

Thanks for best feedback!!

No problem man

I love your stuff and wouldn't mind you winning, even though you're competition!

FUman · May 2016

Such a pitty that there is allready a "look alike" skin

. You thought of such cool and innovative things, like adding the sidewindow and the top lookthrough. I hope you can think of a way to change it!!

How about lava something? Or a blueish thick liquid or even liquid-chrome. Would still be sc-fi enough!

btw. is there a tutorial on how to prepare the files so you can model on them and export the normals as a texturemap ?

Konras · May 2016

Thanks FUMAN. Yeah i will redo this to lava/fire weapon. As for specific tutorial I dont know any. I dont even know how it will work in the end. If result will be worthy I will make a quick run-down tutorial with steps.

TrinityTextures · May 2016

Pfffft... Valve's tank is only half full, and they've only got one. This skin is locked, loaded, and ready to hand out some splash damage :P

Konras · May 2016

Alright. After doing quick concept I redid weapon to be of fire/lava. Ammo clip is now made out of 2 modules. Cooling element in front and a part with actual hot lava

Ezikyl · May 2016

I hope that you're aware that you cannot alter any geometry or normal maps, only a texture applied to the skin.

Konras · May 2016

Thanks for comment EZIKYL. Yes I know about this. I will bake everything at the end into 1 color map.

dcneil · May 2016

This works Konras, much better! The ammo barrel is so nice now

Ezikyl · May 2016

Just making sure, I'm aware of the method but the examples I've seen are less generally less radical. I should learn how to do this, it could be useful

jj1926 · May 2016

I like it but I wish there was more

Konras · May 2016

Filling out the space a bit. Now I will make some cooling vents on the other side and will move to the weapon end and some surface details.

Here is progress so far.

K_A_S_I · May 2016

Can't wait to see how well you'll manage to port this one into the game.

Good luck!

Konras · May 2016

K_A_S_I I did some test bakes some time ago. Very basic bake and unexploded mesh so there are plenty of errors.

Here is preview from 3dsmax

And here from Workbench

Looks like it projects good into the workbench. Looks very 3D.

Konras · May 2016

Started with some colors on polypaint in zbrush. I want to make some parts of the weapon glow red from heat inside. Will need to balance things out for sure.

K_A_S_I · May 2016

Yeah, it doesn't look bad on the screenshot you showed, but regular in-game angles (idle mostly) tend to flaten everything and demolish most illusion. Really curious how this works out.

Konras · May 2016

I think I am done with polypaint in zbrush. Time to bake it and finish later in 3DCoat I think.

refraction · May 2016

Really liking this one! The lower barrel thing's features are nice and chunky, not too busy. Curious to see how those cables end up looking too, I had some buttons in that same area for my entry and the in-game angle can be a little unflattering as the previous poster mentioned. Good luck, it's looking awesome!

ifrostbite7 · May 2016

Very cool skin, only thing I'm wondering is if it's too bright for mil-spec? Maybe tone down the glow a bit in the final version.

I think he should be fine, as long as he keeps it this dark and not much detail will be added.

Konras · May 2016

Bakes done. I have mixed feelings about the result. Most likely I will redo some parts. I am mostly worried how cables look.
After that i will do additional detailing in 3DCoat.

K_A_S_I · May 2016

Yeah, cables look super flat compared to the rest and I am not sure if there is anything that you could do to save them, perhaps you'll need to get rid of them. Rest baked nicely.

dcneil · May 2016

The cables look fixable with a little bit of shading though. And holy shit the actual 3d model looks so sick konras, gj man.

Konras · May 2016

Started playing around with wear and damages on the edges. This is a bit tricky to balance. Right now I am worried its to little to be even noticed. Will work on this more

I will need to also exclude some areas as well.
