Hello, i'm new to this forum and i'm looking for some feedback on a weapon i'm making, a sniper for the russian special forces, the SV-98.
It's for a HL2 mod call Phoenix Rising.
I'm not a pro, i m doing it over my free time, and i failed my infography studies twice

But the developer from the mod only said that "the body is weird"

Here s the original gun:

And mine with clay/wire:

Do you have a side shot of it that we could compare with the source material?

Skurcey · Jan 2010

sure, i mainly used this one for the body:

I kind of "invented" the scope because the one on this picture look likes
a night scope or something.

I'd recommend you stick to accuracy. The scope on the pic is a PKS-07 scope. I guess you could also put another dovetail scope like a POSP or a PSO scope on there.

Model looks ok. Lotta tri's though, you're gonna have to build the highpoly from scratch again. If you wanna do one, that is.

I would use the scope in the pic. It's not boring and overused like the one you've got there. And I really reccomend making a high-poly first.

Skurcey · Jan 2010

sorry, i didnt post the poly count, i have 2314 poly for the whole thing.
But i dont really know why to make a hi-poly model? to render a normal map? I though a mesh - smooth would suffice?

Stickmoose · Jan 2010

A mesh smooth on your lowpoly will most likely not retain hard edges and the overall shape unless you add in extra loops (which are needless for lowpoly)
