Steyr STG

M14 section:
could do with some guidance? 3.5k tris, 2048 maps, crappy photobucket compression, sorry



Steyr STG section:
Mostly textured low poly and High poly below it, I'm still working on the texture and before anyone asks, the blue tape has been removed already :poly136: is there anything else I could add to make it more visually interesting and give it more personality though?





the MEPRO21 has been scrapped too in favour of an ACOG - Docter which I'll post later on

That's nice

I think the very idea of the tape was nice, change it and and it back on i say (:

Some more wear scratches around parts that moves and are used a lot. Keep t up, cool gun!

looks really great but it could do with a little more ware and tear, also I'd say the tape is a little over bumped, tone it down a little.

tape =/= personality

you don't have any kind of localized wear on it, so right now it's looking like the very beginning of a texture. you have the opportunity for some really cool materials and wear on this gun, so really try to replicate it.

thanks for the feedback I looked over the refs for the modelling but kind of forget them a bit when texturing, looking at them I can see the metal looks a lot different to how I made it, so thats something to work on, personally I think it needs a bit more grain and a few nicks here and there, I was looking for some good reference on scratched plastic but didn't really find any, but on the deicideNBF site I can see some of the AUG being used in the field which is really helpful this image here shows a lot of the damage very well here

You need to overlay a second normal map over your current one to add the texture of the plastic(?). The actual surface is slightly mottled and you need to convey that!

I have you can't really see it very well in the screenies, better on this though: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq71U5kWjkk[/ame]

You need to tone down the spec on the plastic areas, the spec is behaving like metal right now. I also agree with fearian on the normal overlay, that will help out a lot. To be honest with you everything else about this looks fantastic. A little bit of wear will help but try not to overdue it, most gun models look like they have been thrown into a blender and I think that detracts from the work.

thanks, yeah I think when it was compiled too the phong was set a bit too high, I've increased the contrast on the specular so its boosted the material of the plastic but generally lowered it too, I've added more wear and tear around excess areas and scratches to the plastic, I've turned on Self Illum so you can see just the diffuse here, and in the bottom left corner you can see the overlayed plastic

Your model is really inaccurate. You're missing a ton of detail on both sides of the receiver, and a lot of other parts are way off, too.
