Hi everyone. Been some time since my last post

Here it is...

100% self-illumination:

nonselfilluminaasdd....:

Ingames:

Comments and crits are welcome

/ img tags won't work for me

wtf?

cholden · Jun 2006

for your imageshack images, load them as normal, right click and copy the URL it gives you in properies. It won't have the "my.php?image=" part, and it should work. Dunno about your others though.

Wowee this is pure gun porn. Awesome job! How many polies is the model? Can you possibly post the flats? When you make the base metal is it from a texture you have or do you make it from scratch? thx

Grim · Jun 2006

Damn that looks sweet, I would like to see the flats also if you would post them. Finally a gun that looks like it was taken care of

I'm tired of seeing all the completely scraped and scratched guns...very nice work.

Joshua Stubbles · Jun 2006

I think it looks great, but it's out of contrast with the hands. The textures are way to high-res on the gun. They are far more crisp than the hand textures, and extremely higher res than the walls. It's a balance thing - it just doesn't look right.

But the gun itself is still sexy

Squirmy · Jun 2006

Sweet. After staring at this for a while I can't find anything to crit. How many polys? And can we see some wires?

motives · Jun 2006

yea absolutely A++ work

Whats it for?

And maybe next time we see a normalmapped weapon from you?

killingpeople · Jun 2006

golden. well done. A1.

ebagg · Jun 2006

Top notch! No crits!

EarthQuake · Jun 2006

Cool, saw this on CDG. Perhaps just a little too clean for my tastes tho.

Zwebbie · Jun 2006

I have one crit: The liney background on the first render is really annoying to me, and doesn't do the model justice : )

graves · Jun 2006

thats hot wannabe, its in my cstrike folder:)

Sa74n · Jun 2006

wannabe · Jun 2006

@Vassago: You're right about the contrast. I scaled the textures down to 512s. Still looks good imo

Eric Chadwick · Jun 2006

Nice work.

Seems to me a bit of overkill for a 1st-person model, but I could see something like this in a weapon-select menu or the like.

For all the polys you have on the silencer, looks like you might be able to afford to flip the UVs there, just for the polys that have the backwards US GOVT. (oops nm looks like you're skinning someone else's model)

steady · Jun 2006

awesome, thanks!

Joao Sapiro · Jun 2006

fucking amazing, i love this type of clean skining onyl relying on lightsource, wants me go back to these !!! CONGRATS MAN !

Badname · Jun 2006

wow looks very cool man
would be nice if you could maybe make a little vid tut on how u skin one of these parts :O

michalczyk · Jun 2006

Great work! A bit too clean for my taste though. Now if we only get the rest of the game to same level

Duckman · Jun 2006

Looks amazing if you ask me but michalczyk is right the gun has better graphics then the rest of the game looks slightly odd

malcolm · Jun 2006

One suggestion, in the future you should turn on antialiasing in your renders to clear up that moire.

Daz · Jun 2006

This is absolutely immaculate work. Really beautiful. You clearly enjoyed doing it. However, the fact that it is immaculately painted and UV'd, means it's going to look stylistically very jarring in HL2, cos the last thing HL2 is, is immaculately painted and UV'd.
Also, I do question the use of such obvious pre-painted white specular hi-lights in an engine in this day and age. Those hi-lights are going to look very painted on in motion, as opposed to relying more on a shader for specular. Great work though.
