  Suggestion: Don't photo texture something you're putting into UE4

  Hey, I remember your last thread. Good you're now moving onto rendering in real time now.
  
  I believe the next step now is getting your asset to match game industry level. I'm not sure if it's just your lighting or materials, but it's way too dark to judge any detail on your gun (i.e what are your normals, roughness, diffuse etc).
  
  I highly reccomend checking this thread (favorite gun artist).
  
  You'll see plenty of examples of what I mean.

  @All: Later tonight or tomorrow I'll go ahead and mess with the lighting.
  
  @3DReaper: I'm making this for my portfolio.
  
  @Mr.Brightside: Then how do I texture the gun?

  Did you literally take an image of an M4 and place that on your gun?
  
  That is not how you texture.

  You need to follow tutorials on basic modeling techniques to remove confusion.
  
  I would suggest following the excellent Grenade tutorial made by Tim Bergholz.

  Some great reference for PBR texturing:

  I'm going to guess when he said photo texturing, he means you can't just slap photos of a real gun on your model.
  
  That method is now considered archaic or comes into conflict with modern pipelines. You can use bits of texture from a real photo, but they must be done so in a physically accurate manner. 
  
  An example is texturing rubber. You can use real rubber but it can't have any specular or shadow information in it.
