Thank you for the feedback ! very good observation ! I have a question though :Would you suggest that i re-model the low and high poly for the slide part or is there a quick fix to do it ? Because i know that the barrel has the correct proportions since i modeled it using the cartridge as a reference for which i have real…
Hello everyone, i need help in the baking phase of the model - i have encountered some issues and i couldn't figure out what's causing them When i bake the normals i've got these problems : First this is the model baked : - Here's the whole UV layout For this part which is the upper surface of the slide i got a weird shape…
The slide has too much edge wear and its too uniform. Too many fingerprints, reminds me of my phone. The lower is too rough, should have some more roughness variation also
Hahahaha yes man i'm aware of which part is which it would be weird if i didn't know which material corresponds to which part of the gun, imagine making the slide plastic it would be a toy gun lol.
Also the slide is manufactured from steel so will have a metal finish not plastic! Eventhough coated in Melonite which is used to both strengthen and as a anti-corrosive treatment however during the completion phase is then polished too restore the part's original surface.
Hi Polycounters ! I want to share with you my work in progress in creating a game ready asset. a Springfield XD mod.2 handgun. I have almost finished modeling the frame and the magazine is fully modeled, now it's time to tackle the slide and the barrel which are slightly easier and less complicated than those crazy forms…
Thanks ! This is a really helpful advice ! And you're right I would too attribute the issues that i had to my lack of experience in hardsurface modeling and novice observation skills, also handling two new softwares at the same time didn't help haha. i'll pay more attention to use better quality references in the future…
Well at a glance, they're not the same weapon there's definitely a distinct difference between the two. 'Tan colored' polymer version on the right has a longer barrel, possibly 4" length so yes as you've guessed probably a later variant, hence the area marked in red will obviously not match in either ortho or pers view.…
