I dunno if intended as a joke or an unfortunate mistype but it currently says shitgun you may want to ask a mod to fix that.

Look pretty nice so far though

cant wait to see how it develops

fuzzio · Dec 2011

omg I did so not notice that lol, do I need to message a mod?

CrackRockSteady · Dec 2011

Very solid start, can't wait to see how this shapes up.

jordan.kocon · Dec 2011

Nice work on the grip! Keep goin with this shit

fuzzio · Dec 2011

Thank you for the comments guys, I'll try and update as soon as I make more progress

purkie103 · Dec 2011

Yeah i think mods are the only ones with the ability to edit thread titles

LRoy · Dec 2011

came in wondering what a shitgun was.

prety nice start

KartoonHead · Dec 2011

Kudos for starting at what is clearly the most complicated part of the model! Also had a good old giggle at the typo in the thread name, absolute classic. Looking forward to watching this one progress.

re.wind · Dec 2011

I was expecting a shit-flinging gun...i.e. weaponized monkey. Not sure i'm i'm relieved or disappointed.

Looks good.

cdevens · Dec 2011

Great work so far! I love the grip, it looks awesome. The only thing I noticed is that the area with the trigger is more of a perfect circle than it is in the concept. Also, make sure there is enough of a bevel on some of the thin line details to be picked up in the normal map if you plan to bake this out. Can't wait to see more!

fuzzio · Dec 2011

Continued to build on the gun, here is the progress thus far

BlvdNights · Dec 2011

Needs more shit

Illusive · Dec 2011

i think you could get the details on the cartridge to pop more, liking it so far though keep at it

Dismembered · Dec 2011

I agree with Illusive, give those edges a bevel, it will make them stand out a lot more. You also might want to loosen your control edges, they are really tight atm.

CandyStripes05 · Dec 2011

your trigger hole area is perfectly circular where the concept is a little misshaped, might add a little more appeal if played around with that a bit

fuzzio · Dec 2011

Thank you for the comments, you guys have a good point here. The cartridge does seem to be a tad to flat, a bevel should give it that pop. I should have pointed this out in my first post that I am only concentrating in making a high poly gun, I wont be baking this bad boy out

fuzzio · Dec 2011

Candystripes05 you seem to be right on that one, I think cdevens also pointed this out also. I will definitely make the adjustments

fuzzio · Dec 2011

Ok managed to make the adjustments to the hole where the trigger is, also i had ago at applying an alpha texture to the rubber part of the handle. I will be tweaking it further though. Here is the progress i made today

jmt · Dec 2011

This seems to be missing medium level detail. It has lots of nice tight details (grooves, holes etc.) and the overall shape is interesting, but it's fairly flat overall. I guess it will look better with colors. Good work so far.

KartoonHead · Dec 2011

I'd assumed the magazine would be a dual-drum one, where you have a drum either side of the weapon. That's how the concept read for me anyways. Still something to think about

fuzzio · Dec 2011

jmt: You have a point there but, the reference shows the gun with all it's surfaces flat. What would your advise be on having it less flat while staying true to the concept. I could bevel theme edges or even give the top some sort of a round curve.

Kartoonhead: That never came across my mind of it being a dual drum cartridge, I may give it a go and see how it might look.

3Dyan · Dec 2011

Oh, man... It may be the fact that it's 5 AM over here, but the title had me laughing my ass off.

Good work so far, but I have to agree about the flatness. You could simply just extrude some portions a bit more with a nice bevel.

l.croxton · Dec 2011

This may sound super picky and you are doing an awesome job (looking at the ref pic) but I just don't see the need for those circle grill things. Specially the one just above the handle. Even on the ref pic it looks like a very last min added feature which I think it could do without.

Asside from that it looks awesome, specially the handle

.

Sorry if my comment sounds rude, I should have been in bed 3 hours ago -_- but I couldnt resist one last look at the forum :P.

fuzzio · Dec 2011

Licky Webster: Lol I still need get the thread title fixed, I definitely may have to do something about the flatness now that it has been mentioned a few times.

I.croxton: NO way did your message seem rude man, dude i should be in bed right about now but cant get to sleep

.

Anyway while im here ill post the latest,

Valandar · Dec 2011

Really nice HS work so far. I'm a little iffy about "reading" how the drum actually feeds into the gun, though.

But you DO know that, to satisfy the people you have disappointed with your title, you HAVE to do a shitgun next.

Jessica Dinh · Dec 2011

So that's what a shitgun looks like . . .

Anyway, I think this looks really great. Waiting for textures

SnaFuBAR · Dec 2011

where's the shit?

Racer445 · Dec 2011

the reason for the flatness is mostly due to the boxy design, but regardless, some thicker edge bevels will help. yours are currently razor-sharp, so going through and making them nice and beefy should help the volumes of the gun a lot.

Alberto Rdrgz · Dec 2011

Damn, Racer beat me to it.

3DFM · Dec 2011

Looking good. Is the zbrush pass just for the small details or are you creating any larger pieces in it aswell?

Oh and its lacking shit.

fuzzio · Dec 2011

SnafuBar@ Don't worry the shit will be here soon

Racer445 and Alberto Rdrgz: exactly what I was thinking, will fix flatness in next post

3DFM: At the moment the only thing im using zbrush for is just to produce the smaller finer details, all the larger components are made in Maya

fuzzio · Dec 2011

It's been a while since I updated by I've been busy with work and stuff. Modelling is completed and at the moments I am rendering the gun out in keyshot. I have not textured it or anything, im using the materials within keyshot and while playing around with the lighting im trying to recreate the original reference picture. This is still the early stages as I am just testing using photoshop to see how the composit would look like, nothing final
