Good stuff Kaskad, it's one of the classiest gun profiles ever (with yet another revival due to RDR )
I assume the current Mauser emblem is a placeholder? The only part that really sticks out as being a little off to me (not having studied the weapon) is the Mauser logo and the chamfering on the concentric squares around them looks a little off. Not by much, but a little. Shame not to go all the way when the weapon is already so well detailed.
Hey guys! long time viewer, first time poster, here's a bust I did for a contest over at CGchannel:

Can anyone guess who it is?
Man thats a sweet gun Kaskad!
Robert Downey Jr.? Looks great and welcome to Polycount.
If you are making the renders in Zbrush 3.5 R3, double the canvas size and then hit Ctrl+0 or click on AAHalf, it will give you AA effect on your models so they will not have those ugly dents ^^
somehow I never seem to catch the post just before mine when I use the quick reply
bludragon: immediate likeness, I had no doubt who it was intended to be, so nice work. Captured a lot of the flare he has now that makes him so enjoyable to watch work (still hoping for a non-Iron Man Tony Stark movie, I'd RDJ file taxes and do laundry quite frankly)
this one is for Harry by request almost done, just a little more detailing around the mag, need some screws, etc.
(also thanks for Artsy Fartsy for his how-to on diamond grip surfaces in max in the shapes thread in technical talk)
He suggested the Welrod and so I looked into it, and it's a super bad-ass super secret British spy gun from WWII. Most suppressed weapons still make a certain amount of noise because of the action cycling, so they developed the Welrod so you could manually cycle the bolt. See that recess around the muzzle? that was intended for pressing the it against a target point blank. As you can see, I've modeled the Mk. I version, with the trigger guard and the detachable suppressor.
Oh god yes, Welrod ftw. Almost never makes any appearances in popular media (though it was in at least one of the Silent Storm games, which was a pleasant surprise).
You're making me want to do up a lowpoly De Lisle.
rolin: thanks man I try. There are a lot of really interesting weapon designs out there--more people on polycount generally need to do research. It seems like such a waste to see really talented guys spend time on aping an existing in-game art asset from a popular title? what's that all about
LoTekk: Hahah shhhh, a De Lisle is definitely on my list, though I think I'll just go ahead and build a proper SMLE Mk III model first and use that as a base. Didn't know the Welrod was in Silent Storm, very cool.

I couldn't have said this better myself. And it applies to more than just guns

I think the De Lisle was in COD or Medal of Honor as well.Not sure which one it was but it was.
Davidson, awesome character, the only thing that strikes me is the lack of teeth/tongue, makes it look kinda disturbing in the open mouth shots. Great piece otherwise.
plugging awat at the texturesssss
im unwrapping bits of the model and texturing them instead of unwraping the whole thing and then texturing...... its alot more fun IMO
boss character rigged up and ready to go! check out the progress thread for ghetto freaks May add some more detail to the hair, feet and cloth when i have time.
duck: his skin color is too monochrome and red on tattoos don't show up that saturated on dark skin, not even brand new tat I think. My brother has a grim reaper tat wearing a red robe and it's not that saturated now and wasn't when he first got it.
Also the details of his chest are getting lost in the mix of his body tats.
more work on learning teh hard-surfaces in Z third attempt. couple of hours in this guy. samuri/nazi helmet unicorn cyborg alien?...somethin like that...
I'm not buying the Japanese tattoo on his right arm that stretches down to his hand. Generally these Japanese motifs aren't placed that low on the arm, they usually end at the wrist area. My opinion in this case is based on looking at a lot of tattoos. Also desaturate and blur them a bit, especially on that right arm.

nope... :O
the red shader have nothing to do with this transformer, i just like to work with it
can something to red stuff latly lol
:thumbup:
YOU KNEW THE BROOMHANDLE WAS MY FAVORITE GUN
OH YOU
(That is sexy. Serious.)
working on an iphonegame right now:
So indeed..
haha. cute. I think the dog could use at least a couple more polygons to define the snout a bit. It's a little too amorphous as it is.
For some reason I find that sheep dog terrifying, you should probably define the snout more, maybe post some wires?
Can anyone guess who it is?

For comparison, some time back I know Johny did this model--worth a look-over (Johny's work usually is) http://www.3pointstudios.com/img/3ps_xxx_red9_realtime.jpg

I think the De Lisle was in COD or Medal of Honor as well.Not sure which one it was but it was.
modeling the heart.. O_O
I have a feeling this is going to be ridiculously detailed :P

Making a Chance Vought F4U Corsair but the wing is giving me loads of problems.
May add some more detail to the hair, feet and cloth when i have time.

Classic. It makes me want to get out Facebreaker. Sweet design.
Messing around with some textures on a zombie boss character in a Diablo/Torchlight-esque game.
