sci fi gatlin turret

NBLM

Hello, I am currently working on this turret. I've finished the highpoly and will now start the lowpoly. I will post some better (anti aliased) screens later, sry.

C&C always appreciated

NBLM

working on the lowpoly:

I have around 2.6k tris, what is pretty good. The aim was to get 3-4k tris.

Don't know if I should add more geometry, or not?

maybe give it an actual feed to the gun? something over the top where you can see the rounds being fed?

Adriaan

Yeah a feed would be cool, perhaps a small camera/flashlight/laser module on the top or side somewhere too? Nice design otherwise!

I've added some polys to the ammobox and did a testbake. Quiet happy with
the outcome(there are some minor skewed details and some smoothing errors but nothing that cant be solved).

I will do some proper uvws now and then hopefully I can start to texture (my fav. work).




2.7k tris

I totally suck at choosing colors. I tried to let it look military, but everything dark green looks boring and this grey with the dark green looks also quite strange.

Has anybody a better idea, please tell me ?

SHEPEIRO

try using this

i added a dark desaturated green and looked at the different schemes...

ageless

dark green and gray would look cool.Specially after some awesome texturing with scratches, wear and tear...just go for it.Very cool design.

S_ource

Try add some more material variation instead of just metal?

SPYFF

Some parts maybe use square-rectangle camuflage pattern - i hope you know what i think. (Digital camuflage as i see now)

NBLM

@SHEPEIRO great tool, thx!
@ageless thx!
@S_ource I've also thought at adding more materials, but its not that easy. I think more than metal and plastic would not fit the theme(Aliens,starship troopers inspired)
@SPYFF I'll experiment with some camo pattern, thx.

So this is what I have now:

I think I will stay with this color scheme and proceed with the textures, thx guys!

Electro

looking really cool!

Bertmac

@ SHEPEIRO aah thanks man for that,i was just looking for that nice
