AR-15 Rifle (WIP)

CromaTine77

AR-15 Rifle Lowpoly & an AT3 RD-50 Reflex Sight with normal maps on
the Rifle is combined out of separate parts from different M4 variants
and I am still working on the Magazine
still texturing is in the process
I am still thinking of adding more attachments on the top and the sides and also a suppressor

Nice work, I see one small issue, the bolts that are holding the hand guard attached to the upper receiver look a bit too small. Maybe you can tweak the proportions without destroying the bake etc.

I added some more attachments, an Offset Picatinny and a Magpul Magpul MOE RVG Vertical Grip 
still working on the textures

Looking good!
The protection piece on the right side next to the ejection port is too small, it should protrude outwards a bit more

@teodar23 thanks for pointing that out for me, unfortunately I started texturing and already baked the maps, but next time I will for sure adjust it, thanks again

Hello again
I started working on the textures a while ago, here is what I've worked on till now, the other parts are still in progress.
any feedback would be really appreciated.

Nice work, I like how you separated the upper from the lower.

Not too bad so far, what refs are you using for your materials? IMO I think the overall noise bump kinda detracts from the smooth polymer variation. But since you're doing painted metal you might wanna smooth out that bump normals  where the metal is exposed. There is also a thickness to exposed metal on these irl. Not only that but the material is too consistent imo with your front rails. It just looked like you added a color fill to it, which you filled color over your exposed metal too?

Heres a good ref too where you should place more sort of grease buildup purposefully. 




You also might benefit from adding some bright/dark cloud variation values in your roughness;

@tynew
sorry for the super late replay :"DD 
I am currently trying to do some adjustments on the model and thinking about redoing the textures cause the metal kinda feels not right and as u mentioned above it detracts from the metal M4 look so I might start retexturing it soon
and thanks for your feedback and the references you sent, it's really helpful and will really come in handy

Just out of curiosity, you called it an AR-15, but the "Restricted military government law enforcement" etc is off an M4 Carbine, it wouldn't appear on a AR-15.

AR15 is the name of the platform, M4 is a specific model so a M4 is also a AR-15

True, however the term AR-15 is most commonly used to refer to the civilian version of the rifle, which only has semi auto fire function, an unrestricted sales. The M4 has semi auto and three-round burst, this is the reason the M4 would have the restricted to military government and law enforcement text, and a "AR-15" would not.

Can you please come back to working/updating this? It's not often i follow polycount lately, but these wips gave me a boner

CromaTine77

@Fridock
thanks for the compliment I guess xDDDD
happy you like it man I will definitely try and keep updating it as much as I can I just need to refine somethings with the model and the textures.
thanks again xDD

@Boosted24v
thanks for clarifying out the terms for me

Wow that texture shot is just nice, it really reminds me of the weapon preview in modern warfare
Teach us your ways x)

Nice, this just what I needed to see to get me figuring out how to model my rifle as well.
