looks good overall!

the acog is a bit soft, maybe increase the texture res...

e_manual · Feb 2020

Thanks!
Indeed the scope does look a little soft, I will bump up the resolution, also needs more refined textures I think.

teodar23 · Feb 2020

now that i looked at it better, the front sight is a bit too thick, at least in that last pic.

maybe its due to the increased fov...

e_manual · Feb 2020

Yes I think its probably the low fov on the last image... the images above showing the normal map bake and highpoly represent the size more accurately. also photo reference does show it to be quite thick relative to the diameter of the base cylinder with a slight taper to the top. although getting the angle of the taper was eyeballed since I couldn't find a straight on photo, but I think its within the margin of error.

dude, just stop, this is too much candy for my eyes...

e_manual · Feb 2020

Haha thank you teodar23

Lovin the full throttle customisation going on here, though a teeny tiny crit as to wear/weathering, to keep in mind. From first hand experience handling similar weapon/s back in the day, surfaces whether painted or not also accrued nicks and scratches mainly through constant use in the field.

Cheers.
