First 3D gun, need some feedback.

SnakeOk · Oct 2016

I just finished my 3D sniper and would like some feed back on it.

Many thanks ( I know about the scope, i just slapped a old scope i made on there.)

It's somewhat difficult to provide meaningful feedback without knowing some more information about the model. Is this a specific real-world rifle you're modeling, or something of your own design? Is it intended as a game ready model (do you plan to bake a normal map, how close to the camera will it be, etc)?

Would also be good to get a couple more views and maybe wireframes.

@CrackRockSteady
looks like a 50 cal Barret Sniper Rifle, or at least inspired by it.

We need more screenshot breakdowns. Wireframes, close ups, turnarounds

Your edges are fairly sharp. You're going to want to read this to see WHY sharp hard edges are bad for your normal bakes.

One of the concept images i used (the muzzle break i forgot to add)

Your edges on your High Poly are too sharp. Soften them or you're going to have some bad distance reads from your weapon.

An explanation is in this thread of why that happens.

Did i make the model in a correct fashion. example would i be allowed to make a 3D gun from different parts like i did for this one ?
Thanks for the feed back

What's your goal here?

I would just do it again and grab a lot more reference.
Build one part of weapon make that look good then build out the rest.
