Borderlands 2 Tediore rifle

Tom3dJay

On Wednesday saw this article about Borderlands 2 concept art and ultimately fell in love with one of the featured rifle designs
Even with low res silhouette concept I decided to give it go, here's what I got so far.

Looking good so far. I can't wait for this game!! :poly142:

Looking great man. More importantly, MINIMAP.

DOG-GY

that is a damn awesome design. boxy in a very good way!

loving it so far

Habboi

Meh too boxy for my taste but you've done an accurate job!

Nailed the concept I can not wait for this game.

Alright here it comes!
A lot of edges are quite soft, I might be sharpening some visible mainly in 1p view.
Constructive criticism is welcome.

Matches the concept pretty well, though I have to admit that is some boxy gun concept they painted there.

Lachtan - If I had to give 1 crit, it looks like the arrow at the end is longer and has less pronounced triangle at the end than you have on yours.

PS: I'm looking forward to borderlands 2

Quack!

Nice detail in there. With that shape I bet you can get a fantastically optimized uv out of that. Watching.

Bake is done.
Low poly is about 3500 tris, normal and AO map is applied.

Sorry, no wires this time

Its looking great, really want to see a wireframe and UV, at least the oclusion if possible. Using 1024 ? 2048 ? I think your big challenge now will be creating some dirt and a good specular map for it. GJ !

Wire render.

Hey man think your doing a great job executing this. Im not a big fan of the concept of the gun but look forward to seeing more progress.

Oniram

not too big a fan of the sight youve got. youve got too many indentations which makes it generally look cluttered, and i think the boxyness of it in the concept works well with the rest of the gun, as opposed to the slightly octagonal shape youve gone with.

Tom3dJay

Guess what? Shit just got real!

I might tweak texture a little, but nothing major, I like how it is.
Gimme some feedback if you think there's something to fix dudes!

Thats looking really cool, the texturing is making this look alot more like a gun from Borderlands. The black outlines on the edges are looking a bit fuzzy in areas, but from first person view they look good.

I don't know if its what you're going for, but the white areas of the gun look a bit plasticy, maybe if you add a hint of colour (gold, brass, copper, etc) it could give it a more metallic feel.

Btw, I don't mean to sound too immature by saying this, but the end of the gun looks a bit... phallic

Pickle

The trigger might be a little too long compared to the reference. Other than that it's awesome. The textures work really well.

They did say that the Tediore guns are the disposable cameras of the gun world, so cheap plastic parts would be appropriate.

I'm kind of sad the "quality inspected" sticker isn't included, sure it's on a spot you'd never see in FPV but it's something that makes me chuckle.

Thanks for feedback polycounters!

I wasn't sure about the material definition. As you probably noticed earlier I baked high detailed normal maps, but then I realized normal map won't make much difference because I wasn't going for realistic looking rifle anyway; most of details are painted in diffuse texture.

So I did some cool things and tried to keep the borderlands style, think I nailed it.

"Quality inspected" sticker is a thing I should definitely add, I was thinking about adding some stickers anyway!
SCB, now when I think about it, it kinda looks like a penis, haha
