FPS Weapon - Beretta Cx4 Storm - MoP

MoP

Well, I haven't done a challenge in a while, and I don't think I've ever modelled a real gun. I've done several not-real ones, but I feel like a change.

This one looked pretty cool to me. No idea if it's actually good or not, I know next to nothing about guns, I just like the mix of mechanical and organic shapes.

I found a couple of variants with different silencers/scopes/mounts, might try one of those instead.

that's a sweet looking weapon. can't wait to see how this comes out.

struve

Nice pick, but you got to dirty it up in your texture

AsylumSeaker

Personally I disagree.. keep it mint condition, focus on shading. It looks like a weapon a total professional would use.

Reminds me of the silenced guns section 9 use in GiTS sac

Cybroxide

Wow that looks like a pretty wicked gun, the modeling looks like it will be fun.

MoP

Quick start on the highpoly mesh. I'm going on holiday for a week tomorrow, so I dunno if I'll have time to finish it before the deadline (not even sure when the deadline is to be honest!), but I'll probably try to finish it when I get back anyway, it's quite interesting and good practise.

So far I've just roughed out the stock/handle area, and the barrel/silencer, along with a couple of small things for holding the strap.

Hey Mop I'd be curious to hear how yo managed to maintain the integrity of that one big V curve creating the negative space of the main handle. Did you use some technique to draw a spline on the surface? It looks smarter than verts carefully placed by hand. Wireframe would be instructional :P

MoP

No, I'm just great at placing verts, haha
I thought about using a spline but in the end just box-modelled it. Didn't take very long - hand-place a few verts, chamfer the resulting edge loop - nice hard curve.

Ugly wireframe:

MikeF

this is looking good mop, very fluid shapes so far, good job.

Chung Wong

Looking very solid.

dur23

Nah, that wireframe is still pretty.

To give you a quick idea on the CX4 storm, it's essentially a Berretta 9mm pistol with enough mass to bring it into the submachine gun category. Seems to be a decent gun. Close combat, but it doesn't have a lot of stopping power.

But it does look fricking sweet

fr0gg1e

Really nice.
Someone should timelapse his modeling...

IronHawk

nice sub d work there Mop thanks for the wires.

kio

havent studied any references but i wonder if the barrel silencer thing really has such a wavy silhouette - i always thought its more like a plain cylinder, not that it does bother much anyway.

Jesse Moody

kio what you are seeing is the back side air vents causing the wavy ness. That is how it really looks too on this particular weapon.

kio

yea, i thought about it while i was shopping - came to the same conclusion .. stupid me.

What I would do if I had half his talent. Nice work.

Joshua Stubbles

Sexy gun - and a great start so far

Pedro Amorim

needs moar updates

MoP

Will try to get some more done tonight. Just got back from Italy!

bluekangaroo

this thing will look hot when its finished. cant wait to see the final hi-poly

W1LLDAB3AST

Would you mind quickly explaining how you modeled your silencer and its holes?

MoP

Hm, haven't had much time to work on this recently but I'm determined to finish it.



Still plenty of detailing and attachments to do, but the basic shapes are mostly there.
Also I realised that I wasn't paying attention, and a couple of my references seem to be of a slightly different version of the gun, and the grip is a bit different (along with some of the body shapes) so I'm gonna have to watch out for that.

Jonas Ronnegard

oh your back mop thought we lost you.. looking great nice clean lines, can't wait to see how the normal turns out.

Joao Sapiro

yeah man REALLY clean shapes, love how you place the vertex really smart so that smoothing comes out awesome.

EarthQuake

Nice forms, very true to the real thing. Hurry up!

Chung Wong

Very pretty.

JasonLavoie

Wow... so that's how its done.

Awesome job Mop, keep it up

I'm glad I'm not the only one that happened to

Extremely nice shapes. The sweeping curves are very crisp and the whole thing ties together nicely. It is funny to see how critical a trigger is to a gun, it's really aching for that

Looking forward to seeing this finished.

MoP

OK, pretty much done with the highpoly:


Haven't done the tac light on the front, I probably won't be able to finish before the deadline if I try and include it now. Might add it on later.

Quick firstperson viewport screengrab (excuse the horrible lighting):


Tomorrow, I somehow have to do lowpoly, unwrap, baking and textures. Hahaha!

Joshua Stubbles

Totally badass! Can't wait to see it wrapped up.

bluekangaroo

thats so sweet...looks really good in first person view

EarthQuake

Looks great man. Lots of good detail in fpv.

IronHawk

wicked sick!

Tumerboy

great work dude! Makes me want to go buy a CX4 :P

Jaco

A very sexy weapon, if that's possible

MoP

Highly unlikely that I will get the lowpoly & texture done by tonight -_-
Thanks for the comments though.
I guess I will post it in P&P when I finish it.

bluekangaroo

So when r we gonna see this thing finished? I dont think I ever saw it in PnP....or maybe I just missed it
