Remington XM2010
polycounter lvl 10
Hi everyone!
This is my first high-poly work, I tried some simple high-poly technics. Thank you for your attention, I hope you like it!

I agree with gilesruscoe about the tight edges if your planning to bake the normal map. Any chance posting the wires and the reference you used for this model? I would love to learn how you did the circular details on the barrel part of the gun (can't determine if it is floaters or modeled in)
I don't know if the butt part of the gun is wrong, it looks like it supposed to be more rounded. I know that re-adjusting the edges are quite tedious (experienced it myself
@gilesruscoe: yep, but in lowpoly model i use lot chamfer (in future)
@hostillis: i print some wire screen later (midpoly and highpoly), but i repeat, this is my high-poly study work
@Walrus: yes, this is the big error, i do not know how to fix this
What bothers me is the shading, it's really funky and to me quite unappealing. Look at the handle in the last render for instance. That black line running all the way through that handle shape doesn't do it for me. I know there are a few good tutorials for nice offline render techniques out there.
@Dagon: Thanks, the positive comment inspired me!
@kodde: Yea, i create handle first of the model, and not very good. But yesterday i fix this part, new pictures and wired pictures are soon
Although I find the renders horrible to look at, I would first change to background from black to more neutral grey or even a subtle gradient, after that you can take a look on the wiki page lots of good info here http://wiki.polycount.com/Model Presentation
On the model it self good job so far, got a few areas that have some pinching in them that I highlighted in red, and other areas it seams like it's not smoothed highlighted in green.
And as others said soft up the edges in the highpoly, having many chamfers in your lowpoly won't really help on that problem.
It's completly up to you if you want to fix that on this model or on the next project
Fixed part (a little bit)
More fixed part soon!
The comparison may be a bit over generous but he is sure getting there.
@Dagon: You doubt it? Please ask my mom!
@ES_139: You say right!
@Dismembered: yea, i see this, thanks.
@Alberto Rdrgz: you look this big renders
Please, if you see major bugs in model, say to me. Tanks!
btw what's the actual low poly count? 8-9k?
I
slight scratches, some dust and dirt into little holes etc.. just gently like in Crysis for example
Still think you can do better with lighting.
Are you using any form or reflectivity? If so, would be nice to have some sweet Fresnel modulated reflections on the lens parts. If not you have a lot to gain from incorporating reflections in your shading, metals are all about reflections.
@tsabszy: compare this model with Crysis masterpieces is little bit strong, but i want add some dirty-scratchy thing to texture, in near future.
@kodde: yes, you say right, the reflections is very important things in hard surface and glass models. I hope, some light and smooth fresnel reflections make looks a bit better, i start working on these!
