Vickers Gun

Cian Shelley · Nov 2014

I am starting work on a model of a British Vickers machine gun, with various accessories.

Here's some of my reference:

And here is my block out so far:

It actually does. Like most heavy machine guns of that period.

Seconded the water cooled machine gun. Just like my water cooled PC you just screw the top open and dump a bucket of water in it. 10/10

Nice base model. Looking forward to the texturing. Are you going for a worn look or relatively new?

Here's some high poly progress.

Trying to call the high poly done.

Very cool progress! Keep it up man!

Low poly and first pass of baking.

Blocking in materials.

Looks good but why you keeping everything in one UV? It's going to be very low res texture

In fact I can clearly see AA problems on the normal bake ....

I have one 2048 for the gun and one for the accessories. I suppose it is pretty low res.

Does anyone know a font that would be good for the embossed text on this weapon? I'm having trouble finding a one that looks right. I'm not even sure what the text its supposed to say. I believe it refers to the .303 caliber of this gun's ammunition but I can't make out the words.

chains, ammo belt, and hose

Nice modeling and texturing.What is the final poly count?

Cian Shelley · Dec 2014

Poly count is very high. around 80,000 i think. I was going for maximum beauty on this one at the expense of efficiency.

anyway here are my final renders.
