[Finished] Getting into weapons art - Sten Mk II

Lily_D

Hi all, this is my first post here.
I am looking at getting into weapons art professionally, and here is my first step in that direction.

It would be great to get some feedback, or to show it some love

20, 586 tris for the lowpoly, 4k texture map, the average texel density for the model is 81.042 tx/cm.
Made using the zbrush boolean workflow. I've learnt a ton from this project! Created this weapon during a mentorship with Kamil "Xaz" Jodełko.

Nailed it!

Practically shouts attention too detail and especially as a weapon in FPV.

EDIT:
Also strong material definition between stamped and machined steel, as well.

Thank you!

Top notch, lovely textures and renders! Would of loved to see some loaded magazines/cartridges, especially since it's an open-bolt firearm. I think the exposed brass would bring a lot more visual interest and pop real well, since it's a completely different material (brass vs steel all over the gun).

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! I agree some other materials being brought in would make it more interesting.

also at second glance, smaaaalll baking artifact on the mag well? may need to push the cage a little bit. Or is that from the sculpt maybe?

That's a sculpted 'dent' in the metal. unless you mean the thin black edge at the top of it, which is the hard edge on the lowpoly

Very nice attention to detail going on here, can see you've definitely been looking at the internals a bit. Material work is really nice too
