ME 2 Assault Rifle

Samuraigun7

Hi there i havent played any of the Mass Effect games but i saw someone do the sniper rifle from mass effect 2 so i thought i might do something similar

I was looking through the concept art and picked the Assault Rifle. I am quite need at doing game models and i really want to improve my work so I will post update of my rifle and critque is needed. Rip it to shreds if you want to so please tell me if something i am going about this is wrong.

Thanks for your time

So here is the first WIP

It is only half of the model since i think it is easier to finish one side soe i can uv it easier for myself.

Here is the concept

Update

Remodeled some part since it was the same as the concept.

What do you guys think?

Hayden Zammit

Good start. The top part to the right of the scope looks bad though. Make tihe silhouette more smooth.

Quick update

Fix some missing polys and smooth the curve and sharpened some areas

Hayden Zammit

Thats better, but try and space the edges out evenly, that way you'll get a smoother result.

Added more polys to the gun. Still dont know if i should model more in or make a normal map for it. Could anyone tell me how i should make a normal map for this i never have tried doing hard body normal map or for a gun

Start the high poly conversion (Modeling in all the details) then bake'em down to the normal map

Heres some good learning reference from r_fletch_r's M-12 Locust SMG thread That Locust was my favorite gun in the second game

Sorry Would post more but i lost all my bookmarks and looking for threads on PC older than a week is like looking for Atlantis

Started doing a Hi Poly But just thinking is this the way everyone else does high poly guns or is it high then low poly i am confused a littler

Well, most people usually does their hp first, i find it better to make the hp first, maybe becouse it helps me to get a good looking model that keeps me going trough the whole process of finishing a model
