Yeah, They do. I like the old sight as well, and i may still make a variant with it. But i was having issues placing a nice looking mount either on the frame or the grip, or anywhere but the slide :P can't be mounting be heavy objects straight to the slide. Here is an example of the sights: Uploaded with ImageShack.us
So i'm faced with a decision. Clip the edges to a nice sharp point, or leave them with a softer dynamesh edge? I can dup the slide come back to it later when people have put in their .02 If neither of these look right, I can do anything in between really. Could clip then smooth. Clip very little so i get a hard edge into a…
Took a break to work on some other things yesterday. Here is an update though: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Also, i totally forgot about zbrushs edge loop functions. You could make a retopologize version in quads, Then Just hide everything but your edges and add edge loops with the click of a…
Outstanding progress so far, really coming along now with your changes. I agree with Gauss about changing up the color scheme from a straight gunmetal black. Plan black firearms are just so boring. I love Gauss's idea from the Makarov and I'm also partial to a nickel slide with a black frame. You could also try doing some…
Its so odd you say that, Because i've had a friend on skype from a different forum constantly bugging me to put a silver slide on it for about 5 days :p I think i will make at least two version of every gun. Its easy enough to have one with all the attachments, Being a gun metal black "Authority" version, Then a stripped…
So here i did a quick retopo of the slide. At this point, you can treat it basicaly like a mesh in max and play with all your edge loops and such. With this method, Like computron mentioned, a huge array of edge control is possible. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Only down side to this really, is zbrush crashes A LOT when…
I coulnd't do three variations in 10 minutes, Thats for sure ! I'm having a hell of time making an example out of a square. And to clarify, when i said "you can treat it just like a model in max", I meant you can add edge loops. The way you add them is much, Much, Slower. But i should be able to come up with a few…
:) Still a bit of work yet to do. The scope mounts need to be redone to fit the new rail, I want to make the piece that attaches to the frame a little more interesting. Need to add all the random bolts and hardware to everything. Flashlight lense. Hammer Assembly. And add some kind of grip to the end of the slide. The new…
Fantastic advice ! Thank you very much. And to adress edge cotrol, Theres alot. But its very different than max or maya i think. While i was reading, I thought to my self, How can i widen the edges on the slide? And i couldn't really think of anything, Aside from cliping and smoothing. But i thought of a few ways that…
LOTS of awsome advice here guys. I'm really excited to rework and meet everyones expectations :) and Alec, I can create a smoothed edge anywhere its needed. Just run the smoothing brush over any edge and it will soften. I'm guessing the slide was one of the most noticable? : That i just masked what i wanted to stay sharp,…
