AIAW Sniper Rifle (WIP)

alexl

Woop, first wip thread here, looking forward to the feedback!

Doing this mainly as practice to get my high poly -> low poly up to snuff, abit nervous about how im going to approach the low poly but hopefully it'll work out.

Heres what I have so far for the high poly, still tweaking and all that, feel free to rip it apart

VERY, VERY NICE. lookin forward to low and textures.

Gorgeous ! The low poly for this will be easier than you think. Your shapes are nice and compact, so you shouldn't need too crazy of geometry to encompass it.

wow good stuff man! Making me jealous all over!

Nice modeling! Looks like you matched the reference pretty well; though the bolt arm looks a little too thin?

Also, you may consider loosening up the bevels/chamfers a tad, just so you can get a nicer bake on the low poly.

Cool stuff.

I like it...but the arm of the bolt looks really thin and small in comparison to the knob(the ball on the end). I know it's a hard detail to really see in your source, but It should be a little more quarter-circled and less J-shaped/boxy, and a tad thicker as well as a bit smaller knob.

Other than that, solid everywhere else.

yeah, that bolt is too small, try to find a close up view of that area, i'm sure there are millions of refs for this weapon if you google.
