[Steampunk - Weapons] Safari Mk III
polycounter lvl 4
I'm doing a modeling practice recreating this concept by John "Pelecymus" on deviantart
http://pelecymus.deviantart.com/art/The-New-Safari-Mk-III-397932519
Modeling is almost done. After some minor tweaks and after reaching an understanding of the ignition mechanism I'll start with shading and texturing. But first i wanna show you for advices.
This is my freetime practice, so I modeled some details that normally i would leave to texture maps, and the whole piece, as you can see, is prepared to be smoothed (catmull-clark 2 subdivisions) at render time.
I worked from imagination about the interlocking of parts. I don't want to leave compenetrating geometries.
Some decorated parts absolutely need normal or displacement maps to be convincing, like the gun dogs. I will bring them in Zbrush and maybe I will export again from there the first subdivision level for presentation.
Critiques and comments are welcomed.

Now I have to sculpt in the details of decorated parts in Zbrush. And maybe I will have to make some change if I realize that with final shading/texturing something doesnt work.
Some texturing in Quixel. Just a starting point, I'm getting used to the software.
