Vickers machine gun

Hello guys, I'm going to create the WO I weapon the Vicker Gun. At the moment I think I'm done with the high poly. So tell me what you think.

Some shots:

looks good, but too much tight edges :S

Nomad6 · Nov 2012

Indeed. Edges are to tight overall (Normals don't bake to well on tight edges)
Proportions seem good.
You should really add an ammo belt!

S_ource · Nov 2012

You should add the glove that you use to move the gun when its warm would add some extra interest put it on top or something.

What I want to do is to create a little environment with it on some kind of platform. So i can create a 360 render. If you know what I mean. there will be an ammo belt with an ammo box togehter with some other props.

And I feared that the high poly had to much thight Edges

I wil fix this.

Thanks for the feedback

Here An update. Low poly mesh is done. I made an ammo belt (High and Low) and I'm also making an ammo box.

Tri count is 5.579 for the gun. Is this a good amount for this weapon or do I need to look for some more optimization?
I'm also fixing my high poly so there would be less tight edges.

What do you guys think ?

The tri count sounds good. I agree w S_ource about the glove, though. It's a nice model, but some other extra detail besides the platform. Keep going!

Well about the glove. It's a nice idea but the problem is the deadline for this piece is somewhere in january and I have also a lot of other school work. I've never done something like a glove, So if there is time maybe I will try to make a glove

After long time, here is a next update of the gun. Texturing is at 60%, need to revisited my specular map, adding some more details (dirt,...), also making a gloss map.

I could use some feedback and tips, because I know that mine texturing skills are very low. So i could use all the help that I can get

This Is What I have atm. Probably I'm going to revisited this piece after my examen so I can put it on my portfolio

its good my only comment is the sandbags look like seperate objects/meshes. It would be optimal to make that in to one mesh also you would want to give the impression that each bag has weight and they are actually laying on top of one another.

Nomad6 · Jan 2013

I agree on the sandbag comment.

jerom · Jan 2013

yeah I know. now it has too many tris, so it would be better if I did in one mesh.
thanks for the feedback
