Bioshock 1 Grenade Launcher

Boyso

Alright my latest project.

This was inspired from this concept of the Bioshock 1 grenade launcher. I made a few changes to the design to better fit my needs.

The project is pretty much done, I may go back to it once my semester is over, but it's time to move on :poly122:

Crits and compliments are welcome, anything that can make me become a better artist Turntable is being uploaded as we speak, but 2gb is freaking long.

PS : Renders are from Marmoset.

For being, what I'm assuming, would be a first person gun.. some of your cylinder's are big eyesores from the faceted edges. Make them more round. The guns we did for Resistance 3 had around 15,000 Tris. The gun looks like a TF2 gun, to be honest. The concept had more jaggy edges and your metal is reading flat considering how rusty the diffuse is. Needs more Material Definition and normal work with the metal.

Thanks!

Yeah I didn't add any of the diffuse detail in the normal map, it kinda looked concrete-ish and noisy. I'll try more subtle.

As for the faceted edges, I'm starting to think some of my SG are wrong. I'll look into it!

Here's the turntable :

Alright fixed a bit of the roundness. Any other spot I have missed?



(I principaly fixed the bottle)

For the normal maps, what would you recommend? A bit of Crazybump/Nvidia plugin on these rust spots?

Thanks!

Boyso

Added some details in the normal map






Much more easier to see in Marmoset

gj! i would change the wire color and work more on the edges of the cannons. that dark color is confusing.

Looking good boyso! I would recommend boosting the spec a bit on that metal as right now it's reading a tad dull maybe some color variation on the metals of the gauages (maybe broze or copper gauge casing's) To me also the inside of the ammo box looks to be not textured (just noticed that) and the sight and band of metal could use some more love in the texture department like the dude ^ up there said just a matter of material definition but looking really good man keep er up!

for the normals i would try nDo. best option for a normal plugin as of now IMO.

Boyso

Changed the scratch color as suggested. Also changed the wire to black.

Better?

Sight goes next
