Rails and the likes

teodar23

Hey peeps,

I recently got the idea of doing some weapons and thought that it would be a good idea to start off easy. And by that i mean do the most common thing on any modern gun: the rail.

I will be making a pack of different universal rails and also some gun specific ones. Later on i will be doing some full RIS (a.k.a. full handguard rail) for different platforms (m4, ak, m14, etc.) and even some attachments (sights, scope mounts, etc.). Modelled to accurate dimensions (where available )

Or at least that's the idea...

Oh, and i will do one every day just to put some pressure on myself.

So lets start with the one i did yesterday. Its a G36c front side rail:

Just rendered in max with vray, basic material applied for now.

I haven't decided if i want to go mid-poly with tile-able textures or low poly with baked textures.

just focusing on the models for now

These are neat.

You should try posting JPG instead of BMP. These are 2.64mb each, slow to load. Especially on mobile.

Get these in a game engine?

teodar23

yea, thats the idea.

but first, some variance and some quality materials...

Eric Chadwick

If a game engine is your ultimate target, you'll have to make the materials in it. V-Ray doesn't translate directly.

I feel like your renders are a bit too dark.

@Eric Chadwick - thanks for the heads-up. i will keep it in mind.

@Ashervisalis - i re-rendered some of the previous pics, but i dont know if its something with my display or what, because they look ok to my eye.
