[WIP] OpFolio2013 - Near Future Untitled Carbine
polycounter lvl 9
Long time since I've posted some work here.
I used to work on console games, but in the last few years I did tons of 2d / UI / mobile work, as well as 2 unpublished (cancelled) AA projects. I now want to get back into the swing of things, specially since I'm excited about the upcoming consoles and the increased fidelity of PC visuals. Thus, I implemented Operation Portfolio 2013, where I will completely revamp my folio and try to get a freelancing job.
I asked a few concept artists for permission to use their designs, to have cool stuff to do. First up is Theo "Sttheo" Stylianides weapon concepts. I'm doing the middle one in the bottom row, although I'm using bits from the others and some of my own tweaks.
Concept
First WIPs
I want to make it very believable, I'm using some current hardware or variations of it. So far I'm using a flash supression attachment, below it a custom Laser Sight device (high precision red dot laser w/ integrated LED flashlight), Magazine design I found on the web but haven't found the name, and a Magpul CTR Carbine stock, Mil-Spec model.

Any chance we could get some wireframes? I'm trying to learn hardsurface modeling right now and working on a simple Glock. I would like to see how you did some of your edge work!
*Staying tuned!*
In the meanwhile, progress update!
+ Added L-3 EOTech EXPS3-0 Holographic Sight (only have to finish the base on the picatinny rail)
+ Prone Optimization Device added to buttstock
+ Added Magpul XTM Enhanced rail panels to the side rail on the front
+ Added Magpul MBUS Gen 2 sights on front and rear
+ added detail all over the model
To do:
+ finish EOTech picatinny base
+ a few more details connecting the pieces
+ ideas / crits?
reminds me of the laptop gun from perfect dark!
keep it up!
The sights look really nice... the only crit I had so far was with the thickness of the handle.
Looks good otherwise, staying tuned.
Changes:
+ relaxed some edge work, so it comes out better in the bake / normal map
+ softer grips
+ 2nd grip point is now wider
+ changed muzzle Flash hider, previously the spikes were inset because it wasn't clear in the concept. I was told that it's an actual thing, a "Tactical Impact Device with Flash Hider", googled it, and remodelled it.
+ finished EOTech base connection to rails
+ Magpul PMAG style mag puller
+ finished Magpul MBUS rear sight
+ topology fixes inc/ forend remodel
+ Magpul Sling attachment on top rail
+ Sling attachment on Stock
+ Added detailed - fire selector, ammo counter, screw-heads, etc
+ Stock rubber buttpad
