First Gun - WIP

vend3r

Greetings polycount, I have been lurking for quite some time and now I have some work to show, this is the first serious model I have attempted so far but really want to get into modeling professionally its been my dream for many years and different situations keep trying to hold me back but soon I will be able to dedicate all of my time into 3d but until then give me some crits any feedback is appreciated.

Is this your hi poly model?

Well at the momemnt I wasnt planning on doing a low poly, only a high poly to see how well I can recreate the actual gun from http://www.wetanz.com/holics/index.php?itemid=741&catid=4 for modeling practice

Oh man I love the website and styling going on, is this a portfolio? Reason for asking is because this feels like an advert or fansite for a game which is pretty cool all in itself - kudos 2 u either way!

no no that is the company Weta in Newzeland that makes all types of models and replicas in real life, I am only using the pictures from there as a reference of the gun I'm modeling from there

Looks great so far man but make a low poly you'll get more credit for it !

vend3r

thanks, i'm not even done with the highpoly yet tho

HellMark

Good start but be mindful of your proportions. The curved loop piece under the trigger is more rounded in the reference then what you have.

now thats what i call a gun, go on do the high then bake down to a low and get it in UT3 or something, would make a nice change to all the scifi guns we see around here

whoops!
Very nice first gun, feel the handle could do with a couple more edgloops from the front after the first dip in height. Agree on the trigger.

What 3D software are you using? You should put up a render with a meshsmooth/subdivision on and more than one light. Look up 3-point lighting for more info on that. One thing I noticed is you need an extra edge loop around the back of that boxy part, which is above and behind the trigger.

I'm using maya, i'll take your advice and try to do a better render thanks
