PC-CSGO | Drifter (Finished)

This gun is now finished, you can check it out here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=682831329

So I have chosen the M4A4 for the CS:GO Weapon finish contest. I love sci-fi skins, and went for a 70s themed Sci-Fi skin here inspired mostly by manborg. Red lights, screwed on metal and wires. This is what I have done so far (May 5th)

Here is my workshop profile: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Neilfails/myworkshopfiles/

Here you can see the reference art I've used for inspiration.

In the early stages of the design. I decided early on I wanted blue metal to be screwed on.

It's taking SHAPE! Close to being happy with a finished design, just a few more touches.

Here is what I got so far, will polish the concept more tomorrow

Finished the polished concept, will start getting it on the 3d model now. I will use 3d coat to project my design onto the 3d model then polish the texture from there.

Here is the design projected on the model in 3d coat, will export it to a texture now.

and now we got this mess, time to get to work!

I've managed to get a functional texture at the moment. There's still a lot of detail work to do. Once all the basic shapes are ready I will add materials (metals and such)
.

Here is how the gun currently looks (rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 2.08)

Another ingame test. I've added a few more screws, added a metal plate on the back, and a few lights on the right side. I am currently adding edges (making it look more 3d) I still haven't added scratches or materials (the ones you see in the shot are from the original texture overlayed). Currently thinking of more things to add to the gun before I start with materials.

Final update for today. I have added a turbo button and messed a bit with the filter/logo area on the left side of the base

Here's a render in marmoset

dcneil · May 2016

I have added a few new edges. Polished the back handle. Added a little bit of line work. Removed the filter on the front. Currently working on adding more screws, details and line work. I have also updated the materials to look more metalish and grudgy. Planning to make the wires more "ruined" with some off the rubber coming of and changing the area behind the wires to maybe have some kind of computer chip pattern.

Materials atm.

Cut the wires earlier on the back so they don't go over the lines circling. I also added more lights.

Been trying to add some bullets to the magazine, not sure if I will keep it or not (hard to make it look real)

Textured all the screws and updated the magazine. I think I need to modify the text a bit, it looks bad in-game.

Updated the back handle metal, and added some arrows + an air filter. I still need to update the magazine text/triangle. Thinking of ideas at the moment.

Nice progress

dcneil · May 2016

I felt the grip needed an update, this is what I've come up with so far. Not 100% sure about it.

Thanks, appreciate it

dcneil · May 2016

A friend of mine told me I should update the wires a bit. I added some metal straps over the wires and glass, and updated the screws around.

Happy with the outcome so far. I would appreciate any feedback!

Konras · May 2016

Looking ace! I really like the specular shine above his thumb when he inspect the weapon to the extent that I think you could try painting some of those into the weapon texture. Blue plate at the very end of the weapon could use light gradient like this. At least judging from workbench. I have no idea how that would be lit in game sadly. Good work all the way!

I'll give it a shot, thanks for feedback!

Moved the "high energy" text on the grip to the back, added some more text to it as well, it's hard too see now, but just a small detail. Added "eject" text on the back of the magazine.

Nice! I really like it. Kind of reminds me of like early Transformers.

Thanks, I really loves transformers as a child. Updating the skin with gunsmith atm so it looks nicer in-game. Thanks again for feedback

dcneil · May 2016

I have decided to go for gunsmith for my weapon. After messing with the alpha channel and settings in the workbench for a while this is what I got so far.
This is my first time doing gunsmith, so if anyone got some tips or feedback it would help a lot!

My alpha texture:

I also updated it so you can see the ammo inside the magazine when reloading

So sick, bro!

dcneil · May 2016

Thanks @nineteenss . Definitely a nice feeling to get some good feedback after spending so much time on it

sboxle · May 2016

Yea, looks much better with the wires encased, very cool! Good luck mate!

WatizZ · May 2016

I like it , the glass + wires are good details in this skin .

Magico · May 2016

This is pretty awesome my man! the fine detail to make everything look tidy is very time consuming as i figured out when trying to make a skin for the first time. This is a front runner for winning defo, keep up the good work

guardiangear · May 2016

sick gun!!!

dcneil · May 2016

Thanks @sboxle @WatizZ @Magico and @guardiangear . Really glad you guys like it

Hearing someone say it has a chance of winning makes me happy!
