Any chance you will make the stream aviable for download?
On your model, the barrel should be a separate and distinct piece from the slide. As the slide moves back and forth, the barrel will remain stationary. The barrel usually projects beyond the slide; the following Beretta is about as short as they come:
The grip looks a bit narrow - take a look at the grips on modern pistols for comparison.
Thanks for the feedback! I will correct these issues.
will be uv mapping on stream in the morning.
seems like you're still lacking the basic understanding of how a gun looks. this model is sort of just a representation of the silhouette of the concept, with nothing more. to be honest, the zbrush approach to modeling this is a bad idea. yeah it makes cutting in grooves easy but generally it doesnt look that great. not to mention your edges are razor sharp (im sure someone will link that famous eotech example).
in general i can tell from your rails alone that you're not 100% on what this gun should really look like aside from the silhouette. my suggestion.. go study some guns. there's TONS of reference on the internet, and this gun is really just a walther p99 with some modifications to it. id say as a solid base, research the hell out of that gun (ill even link you a great reference) and make sure yours matches that.

now for more specifics (see attached photo)
1. this shape is all sorts of warped.
2. this does not look like it integrates correctly (see walther)
3. these grooves will never show up well in a bake. they're too shallow and barely noticeable in the high res
4. this is wrong. see walther
5. for the love of god please dont do that shape in ndo, even in zbrush its not that hard to model in.
Thanks for the feedback! Here are some pics of the problem areas. As you can see.. the back of the gun is a clean shape. But it DID look warped from the side.. Also.. the rail I modeled is right of a real gun.. so I am happy with its shape.. here is a better look.
As far as the handle areas that sees a bit odd... Id have to agree.. It is def different. However, my intentions here are strictly to model an approved concept.. not to reiterate or recreate and actual weapon. So that may clear up some confusion. As far as the grooves go.. you are right.. it is cleaner to model them in.. however in my case.. I am broadcasting live and want to show the benefits of having a flexible pipeline.
Also.. what is the famous eotech example? jw
[EDIT] Removed image tags to stop being obnoxious.
you didnt miss much.
You are correct. Was too far in the game to go back and fix it though. oh well. I think it turned out pretty good.
Yes. 2048*2048
Thanks. I will keep that in mind on my next piece. The mech I am working on. I will put out a high spec render to show the form.
