WIP Bofors 40 mm. Navi modification.

NikitaMoshkov · Feb 2020

Hi everyone!
This year I decided to take a break from my regular job, rest a bit and complete the old tasks. This is one of these tasks.

This is a weapon from the second world war. It is called bofors L60 40 mm. The Germans called this modification flak 28.

I started working on this gun in the summer of 2018, but then I postponed it due to employment in my main job.

The work is done according to the requirements of "AAA" projects, such as "World of tanks" or similar. I plan to keep within 25-30 thousand polygons.

I would be happy to get some feedback on it.

These are the scheme and historical photographs of the guns that I took as a basis.

Then, using the drawing, I made a dimensional version of the model (basemesh) and tried to compare it with photos. As a result, I found many inconsistencies. So I had to spend a lot of time before I got such a set of images.

As a result, I found in the Romanian museum a version has been preserved that most closely matches the one that I indicated in the original photographs.

Next, I selected photos that allowed us to correlate a virtual camera with a photograph and adjust the proportions of the gun.

Here is an example of how the check looked like in the end of a process.

Are there too many cameras?

Here's what the HP version of the gun looks like now.

Really clean so far. Can we get some sexy wireframes?

Wireframe pictures. To speed up the modeling process, some of the elements are divided into several pieces. But there are smooth transitions between them, which will allow you to get the correct look in the end.
