FN Scar WIP

Luke_Starkie

Hey Polycount!

Ive made posts in the past but i suggest not to look at them as none of the models ever got finished, so i'm going to start fresh with an Fn Scar, Ive gathered my References and i'm just about to start my High poly.

I will post a work in progress as soon as i fix the problem why my primitives keep auto triangulating, Could someone tell me why ? Thanks alot guys

Heart_Murmur

What program are you using?

Luke_Starkie

3Ds Max Sorry i didnt state that in my post.

Justin Meisse

explain your problem in more detail plz.

are you using editable mesh instead of editable poly? I know it shows the tris when you aren't in modify mode

Luke_Starkie

Well put it this way, i open 3ds max and click on 'Box primitives' then the mesh appears to be Triangulated. And thats even before i convert it. Thanks for the help guys

Justin Meisse

don't worry about it, your mesh is always actually triangulated max just hides those edges from you, when you convert the primitive to editable poly it will just show quads.

Jet_Pilot

Customize>Preferences...>Viewports>Configure Driver...> UNCHECK "display All Triangle Edges">OK

Close Max and see if that fixed it

Luke_Starkie

Cheers man it fixed it
Thanks everyone else, i will post progress as soon as possible.

I'm quite happy with this saying i'm only 14 and have been using 3Ds Max 5 months, Right heres the WIP :

C&C Welcome

Shogun3d

Could you turn off your grid please?

Nice start for sure, the trigger guard looks a little wobbly from the side but overall I think you're off to a nice direction

Luke_Starkie

Here you go, By the way theres quite an update :

Shogun3d

Much better

The hinge for the buttstock looks really thin and flimsy, from looking at some references it appears to have much larger hinges with covers on them to keep dust/dirt out. Personally i'm not digging the pistol grip design, if you were to stick with the horizontal slashes I would shoot for a grip like this The high poly is coming along very nicely!

Luke_Starkie

Just took out the pistol grip look

Havok

Looks great so far, dude. Would you mind posting your reference so we can see what you are working from? We can probably give better crits that way .

Luke_Starkie

Havok, i'm using the Reference kaburan Posted.

Luke_Starkie

Thanks Numpty Heres a render with some changes.

Havok

Here are a few things you should fix:

-The side rails are WAY too small. You may wanna bring them to the end of the gun, as well.
-The hinge for the stock is very inaccurate. Follow the link below for all the reference you could ever need
-The insets on the clip are out of place and should be different sizes like in the ref you are using.

You may want to post some different angles so we can get a better look at your shapes. Here is the link with refs:http://www.pixagogo.com/1792204240

Other than that it's looking good .

Luke_Starkie

Some more changes. Thanks Havok, I already knew about that link Racer gave me it on MSN Thanks anyway.
By the way, ive changed the Clip completely.

Havok

No problem, and Racer always helps people from what I can tell, great guy . Since you posted a better angle, I notice your body shape is a bit off. Should be an outwards curve like this: http://us10.pixagogo.com/S5v0VPVpA4rCO2RO5A7MW85bsD5TBEHAhHlA9lkxmMMaknZn2inLW6e-N-cQFmLb-gDgZmw6s-NHBajD-lKDtoiRa8lKI0DBeS/04247.jpg

Also, the shape of your rails is off, should be more like this:



Also, the hinge should be on the pther side of the stock, I believe. Another thing is that the box-like thing connecting the stock to the weapon's body should be curved at the top like in the ref you are using.

Plus, do you have the ref loaded up in Max? Seems like some parts are way off while others are fine. Well anyways, keep chugging along, this is great so far .

Luke_Starkie

Thanks Havok, Some changes :

Acid.

Nice start Luke so far.

Gun looks like it needs to be widened from what I see at the top.

Pope Adam

best 14 yr old ever. well done!

Luke_Starkie

Cheers dude

Luke_Starkie

@ Acid, Ive widened the rails if thats what you mean
Also, does anyone think its safe to move onto the Low poly ?

Sorry for double posting by the way.

ArYeS

Nice modeling, i suggest you model ironsights or red-dot or some kind of optics.

Surfa

From the last picture you posted it looks like the railing is modeled in the wrong shape.


I have over exaggerated for the purpose of showing you but yours look like the railing on the right. But if you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picatinny_rail or


You can see that they are shaped more like the rails on the left.

edit: Also looks too thin.

Acid.

I meant the entire gun looked pretty skinny compared to the ref width wise.
Take a look at Kaskad's, the gun is a lot wider in comparison. At the moment his looks more accurate.

The new pics are lookin sweet. Looks like you've definitely made a lot of progress on this thing. I do have to say though, I think I liked the other clip better, it just matches the style of the gun more and the curve that it has normally makes for a better composition on the gun. With the straight clip you have now the whole thing looks a lot more boxy and not as modern as it should be for that gun. Overall though the high poly is coming along really well and I'm diggin the work. That's my only crit

Surfa, those aren't quite right either, the solid part actually goes up to the bowed-out section:

AshleyTayles

Very nice! New wireframe please!

Luke_Starkie

Heres some new pictures and the rails should be correct must be the angle.
