Mp5 wip thread

Lonewolf

Update :









=======================================================================================================================

sup guys,
been a while since i worked on something for my portfolio so i though ill add
another thing to it, didnt wanna do a gun bu i realized i never posted any real
life realtime guns, and everything i did is under NDA that i cannot post yet

so here a wip thread for an mp5

if ya wanna follow be my guest

also, if u have refs for cool mp5 loaded post them up

not sure how this mp5 will be but it wont be standard one


started today..

gsokol

looks like a good start so far.

Racer445

Nice and clean model as always man. This is the first accurate weapon I've seen in a while, keep that going!

Lonewolf

Ihazard

wow looking very nice, there's only one thing I can find wrong and its so rediculously negligable I won't even mention it

Lonewolf

thanx, feel free crit




maybe last one for today

MRico

At fist I thought those 2 little bumps were some kind of mesh error so I looked up the gun and nope, they're correct.

From looking at your portfolio, this is going to be real sick!

Ghostscape

Goddamn that is looking so sexy, its making me appreciate the gun again

Rock Bottom

Yeah yeah wolf you and you fancy stuff you win... but not for long

Lonewolf

thanx man, heres another render and wire

marks

Can you stop being so awesome please Lonewolf? I die a little bit inside every time I see you post Question though, is there any particular reason your cage mesh has such dense geo in places (example: stock) ?

Lonewolf

thanx for the nice words hmm well it just like one thing leads to another here

i started the receiver with lots of segs cause its detailed and if u wanna detail
something and still keep stuff round and smooth u have to use it

so then i move to that part at the back, u can see its almost the same shape as the receiver but abit wider, so i cloned a stack from the receiver and worked on it

then i did the stock part (the thingie u pull back) the top of it had same shape at the cover of the receiver do i selected the polies that looks as the same shape, dragged it back and worked on it

then i had to bend it abit to the back, and when u bend something u should have even gaps between the edges so i added alot of then and bent it


if i was starting each part from scratch i could have used less polies but why? it high poly anyway


hope it helps

Really really nice attention to detail. However some of the edges are wayy wayyy too thin, just a few tho, the little "clip" type piece you added in that last shot attached to the mag well, has some very thin edges that will read as totally sharp when its baked, and possibly not read at all depending on how the low is done. The edges on the clip that holds both of the mags together are pretty thin too, i think you need to zoom out a little when working on these things, as its easy to get caught up in the ultra small and forget about the big picture. Theres a few other places as well, generally what i do here is just, take a look at your model in the viewport, not with any fancy renders of supersampling or anything, view at at the distance you would expect to view the mesh ingame, and see where you start to get nasty aliasing because of having edges to sharp, then tweak those edges.

It would be nice to see some inset floaters around those smaller screws(i haven't seen your ref, i just think it may look cool), and also, you've got a sort of ugly intersection going on between the main metal part, and the plastic pistol grip. What i like to do here, is sort of make an outline around the part(i would do it in the metal chunk here) and then extrude in a bit, with proper control edges etc to just give a nice soft little inset where the parts meet. This adds a good deal and i think is appropriate with the level of detail you've got currently.

So, these are pretty minor issues, and you'll still have a good model if you ignore them all, but just a few things that would "put it over the top" i think.

Lonewolf

yea those kind of stuff might change later when ill models the low poly part

i will also weld the cylinder/magwell/lower body later on

Lonewolf

thanx for the feedback btw

EarthQuake

Yeah np. Sometimes i like to make a few tweaks as far as edge thickness etc after i've done an initial testbake, it can help to get a clearer picture of how its going to work out.

JacekC

good work

Lonewolf

thanx



added the R.A.S, not sure about itm it aint accurate and isnt welded but most of gonna be covered so ill see about that later

:P

JasonLavoie

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan... loving the weight that gun has so far, can't wait to see more updates.

Spatz

great great great...:poly142:

bluekangaroo

ooh awesome! Thanks for wallpapers Wolf! Arent modeling all those technical parts lots of fun? I know I love the problem solving that goes into figuring out these shapes and making everything as close to the real thing as possible

Lonewolf

haha yea i love mechanics alot, and im doing alot of or on other personal thing

heres the covers on




hmm now.. should i add aimpont and laser marker or mount a grenade launcher on it?

o.O

Firebert

oh
my
gosh



sexalicious.

just curious though.... what's up with all the double banded ammo clips lately? seems like everyone is stackin' that reserve up on their models? just me? bah, i dunno... still made me punch myself in the sack

oh, and the MP5 is my favie sub.... i was so pissed they knocked this model out of MW2... still am now that i think about it..... damn you infinity ward! damn you for taking away my mp5!

AlecMoody

looks really nice. Its refreshing to a hard surface sub-d model that isn't full of pinching and dents.

I was about to say the same thing!
Looks great though! I would make a red-dot sight. Nothing fits a trusty smg better than a solid and accurate red-dot!

Spitfire

This is really turning out great, keep pouring the awesomesauce!

[HP]

Nice details man! Subd ftw!

keep up

bluekangaroo

I would say adding the extra attachments help make these weapons stand out and look way more badass. By itself I think the Mp5 looks pretty dull, so the addition of some rails and other gadgets are a nice way to give the gun more personality and help it stand out from all the other ones people have made

Harry

this part

would be paper-thin if you consider it to scale. have you got a ref showing it so thin?

donno i just want it detailed so i added the double clip, clean mp5 would be boring :P

i was wondering to wheres the mp5 on COD too O_O




thanx for the feedback guys


heres an aimpoint i stole from my old m4 O.o

Jesse Moody

Yeah like everyone said before this gun is looking sexy as hell.

Picked up my mp5 airsoft gun real quick. Pretty damn spot on. Can't wait for the next update.

waedoe

can you post wires of your rail system

Diwan

Dang nice mp5 man, and gosh ure fast! Now lets see a grenade launcher on that bad boy! :P

Thrasher

Awesome mp5! For attachments I say both XD

n88tr

I'd love to know how you modeled this. In early images before you had the rails or barrel done the inside of the model was showing like it was just a skin and not a model if that makes any sense, it was hollow inside like you were just pulling edges forward to make the barrel?? Maybe I have this totally wrong but do you use shapes to model or a plane?

Looks super awesome btw.

Spatz

haha...when i look at this ...i have a smile on my face...somehow you make me happy ...

AlecMoody

One thing. Isn't there supposed to grip texture on the upper lip of the rear sight?

snoops3d

Man Excellent work!

Lonewolf

loaded this one between stuff and worked on it abit today

added front sight and the aimpoint mount





heres the rail wire, like i said i didnt connect the rail to the body, im short on time and its covered like u see so i hade to pass on it

Lonewolf

yea but its easier and quicker to past it on the normal map later on

if it was the only thing i was working on i would model it too

but i have to spend most of my time on other stuff

=\

thanx again for the feedback

Amadreaus

Hey, it's Lonewolf! I wouldn't dare crit you, man, I've stared at your site for inspiration for the last 6 months. Keep up the solid work!

Lonewolf

thanx but hey im sure its not perfect so if ya see some stuff go a head and crit

anything is welcomed


i see some stuff that i need to fix already O.o

and i like that bump, ill keep it on the bake for the low poly :P

bluekangaroo

awesome!....thats an mp5 alright

Lonewolf

went back to the body and welded it

LEViATHAN

Full-on Ghost Ops shit. :poly121:
Looks great! BTW do you know what ever happened to SixShooter?
