Double Mag AK-47 [W.I.P]

HornyRhino

Sup gents, i have been sitting on this for quite some time now. I finally decided to work on it more and finish it up and hopefully use it as a game prop on a little something i am planing on making for you game lovers out there. here it is.





Any C&C is MORE than welcome. and thanks for your comments

n88tr

stock and pistol grip need more hard edges, they look like goo
front sight looks too heavy and thick

all i got right now

Oniram

i tried to find some references to confirm but i couldnt really get any solid ones that i could match to the rest of the body for scale. but i think the rear recoil spring guide (that little piece on the back of the receiver cover) needs to be a bit larger

HornyRhino

hey guys some updates from the comments i received earlier please let me know what you think before i get down to baking and texturing.









C&C are welcome please let me know what is wrong with it and what can be changed.

Oniram

id say you arent quite ready to move on yet. it looks like the only real thing of interest in this is the magazines. you need to put that much love and care into the rest of the gun. your safety lever for example looks SUUPER flat. it needs to come out some to give some shape and silhouette to the model. the stock doesnt look like it belongs. it needs to go with the shape of the gun. your floating indents need to be deeper. they barely show any beveling at all and that will reflect in your normal map. you may as well model those in. i think it would be easier.

HornyRhino

ok thanks Oniram... my only question is what u mean the Stock does not look like it belongs? i dont know how to make it look like it belongs to the gun... if you could do a paint over or something to help me understand your point a little better... and im working on everything else you pointed out... i was feeling like the only thing interesting was the mags... will add some more stuff now. thanks...

camza

I think what Oniram means is that where the stock meets the receiver doesn't match. You have the rounded edges of the stock against the square shape of the receiver.




See how the stock and receiver share the same shape where they meet? I think that's what Oniram means.

HornyRhino

little update... worked on the Butt and just wanna get some crits on it...



Also anyone have any ideas that could make this weapon look more interesting please feel free to comment... thanks

EarthQuake

A scope!

From first person view an AK is pretty boring, but one of those weird cobbled-together-looking russian scopes is always a good idea.

n88tr

is that a piece of tape holding the two pieces of the wooden foregrip together?

HornyRhino

@n88tr: yeah it is... not very original but just tried adding a little to spruce it up... will be adding a scope like EarthQuake suggested and maybe will be adding a laser on the side or button of the foregrip..

please feel free to comment. thanks

Oniram

maybe a grenade launcher attachment! should be simple enough but will add some more character

HornyRhino

Hey guys its been a while since i posted, work has been keeping me busy at the moment... but i am back with a little something to show... I made a scope for the Rifle, so i would like some C&C on the Scope and also on the rifle rails.
thanks... any C&C are welcome...

Leupold Mark 4 CQT Scope [W.I.P]


and here are some shots of the weapon with the rail and the scope [Unfinished Scope]
let me know if everything looks good...

Boyso

That sight seems reallly high. Do you have a ref?

HornyRhino

not really... i just found reference of the rail and then i just added the scope on top...

Boyso

Nevermind, just checked reference myself, it seems ok.


Carry on :P

HornyRhino

sweet... do you have the link to that reference?

Boyso

Mio

it's beautiful

mystichobo

Looks pretty good, I'm not too keen on the sight though

Maybe the 1p29 would look better? it would be a lot more interesting and unique from a fp perspective imo.

HornyRhino

@Mio Thanks man

@mystichobo hmm good point.... just imo its an UGLY scope... but never the less it would look much better than the one i have... alright i will work on it today and post some screenshots for some C&C

thanks guys

HornyRhino

Hey guys, since mystichobo said i should put the 1P29 Scope instead of the Leupold scope i have been looking around and came across the Kobra Scope. and i cant decide weather making the Kobra or the 1P29 anyone wanna help with votes?

RobertHammer

1P29 can't be mounted on AK-47 , because they didn't have a mounting bracket from left side - this feature was for newer Ak's like AKM/AK74

I see you modeled that AK-47 rail for scope's , so for you the Kobra red dot sight will be better for you ,but Kobra with weaver mount

HornyRhino

hey guys sorry for taking so long to re-post, but work has been keeping me seriously busy. So i bring you a small update and i ask if you guys could let me know if you think its time to start texturing or if stuff is missing/make it look better/proportions etc etc... please give me C&C. Thanks

and here it is:


@RobertHammer thanks for the reference images and thanks for suggesting that scope.

HornyRhino

any comments guys? please comment so i can get on and finish this thanks

Tobbo

I can't really find anything wrong with it? Are you going to have the grip be like the reference image like what Camza posted? Or are you going to add some more detail like the image that Mystichobo posted? I personally think the latter one would be cooler. But it's up to you.

HornyRhino

@Tobbo: the image that Mystichobo posted you mean the Grip or the over all detail? thanks

Impala88

i think what's making the handle come off as a bit gooy is the base, i'd flatten it a bit, currently its too round. The edges seem fine but the overall shape of the bottom needs flattening off slightly. But overall looking really good

t4paN

Looks good to me. The handle actually looks like an AK handle, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Give it a good texture and it'll be alright. Too much nitpicking just for the sake of it imo - at the beginning it did need to be worked on, now not so much.

gg3d

Great model but here's one thing to consider. The pins that go through the receiver.

Your model has one pin right above the trigger and one right above the magazine release. So far so good, but you also have one about half way between those two. That pin is actually a selector switch stop. It physically stops the selector switch from moving past it, on the outside of the gun, and thus it is only on the right hand side of the gun. It doesn't go all the way through the receiver like the other pins do.


You can tell by the two indentations below the selector switch that this is a fully automatic AK. The top indentation is the full auto setting and the lower indentation is the semiautomatic setting. (The switch is currently set to safety in your model) If it's going to be a full auto AK in the game (and why the hell wouldn't it be?) it's missing a third pin through the receiver. The third pin is slightly lower and in front of the one above the magazine release

It's harder than I thought it would be to describe this in a little comment box. But I hope it it's helpful or at least gives you a better idea what to look for in your reference photos.
