1911 kustom

waedoe

its not a kimber its just something im kind of throwing together from a bunch of different designs, please give me input and ref photos of stuff you would like to see. im up for a challenge. Please no scopes or rail mount suggestions, mainly hammers slide details, trigger options, saftey stuff, this is all going to get normaled down to a low poly and released for in game replacement so please give me crits and suggestions

nice looking model, care to post some wires?

beancube

cool, but be careful with your edging on the highpoly. everything is looking a little bit play doh'ey atm, especially the frame and trigger guard.

ill keep that in mind, i just know that to hard of edges are bad for normal maps or so ive been told

yeah a lot of times people are making their HP edges too hard and don't transfer well to a map, in this case, they're looking a tad too soft and squishy. Nice model though!

your edges are still mushy soft, and that bore diameter is way too big. It's a pretty clean mesh, otherwise. The safety looks sort of lumpy, though.

Could we get a true isometric side shot? Because in most of these your proportions seem off, but it's hard to tell without a proper shot.

yeah, i did take back the slide some, i had an original 1911 a1 but that was for mod work. this one is personal and for everyone once i get it baked down this weekend, ill get you a left shot, but you are right it is shorter than normal

waedoe

Ok so im done with the high poly, there are a few pinches i might work with but this is basically what im finishing with. Im going to move onto the low poly now and prepare it for normal maps, if you guys have any suggestions please done hesitate to tell me.

Billz

Wow, looks great waedoe! Looking forward to the low poly.

Squiggers

As I said when you showed me mate - nice work, its looking great.

waedoe

Low Poly is done! It is aboot half way uvw mapped. It will be on 1 2048x 2048. any ideas on how to fix the smoothing at the front kind of embarrassing. And yes i know its not as optimized as could be, i just finished the normals for the 1911a1 mod work im doing so im not going for absolute perfection i just want the normal map to look good and get this one released to the public. Tri count sits at 3800 that with the grip mirrored.

waedoe

Finished the normal map. moving on to the texture, first ever so ill need some hard crits 3550 tris its on 2048 x 2048 maps right now. Will be posting more updates later. rendered in marmo

eriotic

Can't wait to see this textured and good to go!

Spitfire

looks good and clean, you could probably save a few tris here and there but overall, great work!
Normalmap turned out great

mLink

Nice! that came really clean.
Looking forward to seeing this thing textured.

Megabiv

That looks great, if i didn't have so much uni work i'd be making my own weapon right now because of this. Keep it up!

waedoe

working on the first texture of my life, crits so far, and suggestions on how to correct my problems. its fun learning PS

***there are black lines on the edges near where the hammer rotates into, not sure whats causing them, i think it might be my ao map ill check it out!

Cap Hotkill

I would make the Metal parts darker and add some blue specular

waedoe

added a grip texture, next im going to work on the lower body of the gun, i like the slide right now ill be working on the spec as i move along.

Kitteh

your metal texture has a bit too much crosshatching and defined texture, it kind of looks plasticy

ErichWK

there is a really great tutorial for texturing guns by Racer445.

http://racer445.com/pages/tutorials/ak-tutorial.php

If you have time you should check it out, it will probably give you some rad tips for working on the metal.

Cap Hotkill

A lil bit darker or with more contrast would make it look better, Right now It looks too much SandBlasted or Like Lead.

waedoe

so been working on it not sure if its much of an improvement, i think im going to rebake my ao, although i have been having troubles with getting a correct bake in max.

waedoe

heres the maps figured it would be better for you guys to critique these any way. maybe help me out with some over lay and how you did it, id appreciate your time
