Beretta Px4 Storm WIP

aeryis

Something I worked on for the last few days. It's not EXACT detail for detail, but it's pretty close, and I'm happy with it so far. It's my first hi-poly-hard-surface model. Lots of tris but mostly quads. The laser-light attachment is made up. Some areas need a little more tweaking, but I'm almost done. Tell me what you think. Gonna make the low-poly version, normal map, texture... the whole shebang. Any other advice/suggestions/tutorials... anything would be great. Thanks! :thumbup:



Any ideas on how to do the details of the diamond grooves for the handle grip?

EQ did a quick tutorial on how to do those diamond grooves here:

Looks cool, only thing for me is the laser sight looks really dinky.

maybe one of these soloutions?

nSight x2 (alone)
nSight x2 (on Px4)

or at least try scaling it up a little, it just looks small. You mentioned the guns not exact detail so any nit picks there-meh, so ++ for the gun

Started normal mapping, except for one piece I forgot that I'll do later. :poly127: The grooves and indentations on the slide aren't as deep as I'd like them to be compared to the high poly model. Is there any way I can adjust that while baking?

Lots of accuracy issues. This site has some good refs:
