[WIP] UZI 9mm

Shigebon

hi all! I'm doing this gun for my portfolio so critique will be greatly appreciated


Here's my progress.. Still far from finish but its a start =P

Computron

you need more geo to make the curveed grip under the barrel, otherwise that hole is going to cause pinching. I'd suggest using floaters if you can. same with the rubber grippy strips. You also need to make sure you stay consistent with thicker edges widths.

Shigebon

^Thanks for the comment.. and sorry for being a noob but what is a floater? is it using 2 shapes and combine them together later?

A lil updates

also the left sides of the gun

I keep getting smoothing problems and cant fix it by auto smoothing =/

ivanzu

I think that it means a object floating next to the gun where the hole is going to be so you don't get bad topology when making holes.

Shigebon

oooooo u guys meant something like this?? tell me if its wrong

ok i'll redo the barrel now thanks

Ric3D

Models getting there, keep at it.

Skummel

yea dude your model is gettin pretty good

not sure if you wanted this but the way you have your floating sphere set up right now, its being cut off by the geometry of the handle, so your normal bake out will have those rounded edges but a flat bottom.

Like so:


Again not sure if thats what you were going for or not but just thought i'd throw it out there :P

Keep up the good werk!

Shigebon

thanks a lot skummel! your picture there explain it really clearly =D
Here's my progress so far


I think I have all the parts of the gun now.. Going to add details in zbrush of all the screws and stuff

Looks like the spikes by the barrel are too high, they don't look as noticeable in the reference. Keep it up it's getting there.
