Workshop #4 - SyncViewS
polycounter lvl 13
Hi guys, someone had to start this, so here it is!
It still needs a lot of work, but the base shape is done. I think I'll try the floating geometry solution for nuts here and there, as the surface is fairly simple and flat to support them well. Let's see how it turns out, just a new experiment. General width will be adjusted as soon as the other pieces start to fit together.
Here is the model in .obj format.

Looks great man! Very cool
Im currently doing mine. Will post my thread when I have pictures to show.
I suggest to model the barrel as soon as possible, then define the "eight-sided looking" shape where the ammo is loaded. It gives the width of the general thinner flat part, you can guess the plastic width from many photo references you already posted.
The beefy part toward the tail is a bit trickier. I got it from one of the exploded views in the manufacturer's gallery. You can see in the image a "butt pad" (the cushion where you place the shoulder) from top, so you get the height, which is the same in a side view, and its width. The rifle is slightly larger than that.
More to come soon. I hope this helps and many other join in.
1. Setup the reference image plane with the full rifle side view posted in the main thread.
2. Created a plane in the side view and reproduced the silhouette plus some reinforcement edges around the whole shape and some additional lines relative to main details like the groove along the handle under the barrel.
3. Extruded the shape to the "thin width", and reworked the handle, then the details like the groove and chamfers along the upper side, where the ammo is ejected.
The images are just to get the whole shape. It is a simple surface of half rifle with a Symmetry Modifier (weld seams off), a Shell Modifier (which gives the thickness) and a TurboSmooth Modifier.
Here is the model in .obj format. Enjoy!
Thanks Sean, unfortunately it seems my work isn't enough to get even a job interview //end woeful mini rant
Amazing!!
Really good! Seriously! Great modeling! I would hire you in a heart beat!
Hey Pedro, maybe one day when you'll run your own company remember me
And a nice demo full view
So lovely! Nice and crisp!
That is seriously nice!
