Nice! I think the overall wear and tear needs to be pushed. There's the tarnishing in the grooves and the jewel is cracked, but it looks like the weapon hasn't been battle tested. The metal is too new looking for the tarnish. The concept image has nice contrast of light to dark which I don't see in your renders. My eye…
Bipod will be made a later date, for now I'm just gonna be making the variants for this gun. Right now the scope and the full weapon are on separate UV maps. So in game they can be switch with different attachments and don't take up space in one map with lower resolution for each part. Plus I will be able to add it to the…
@Selaznog thanks for the feedback and i agree, the weapons weren't really up to snuff. I went back to the drawing board and did some pen and paper sketches. below is the result of my favorite. It was also brought up by a buddy of mine that these werent really working as a set. so i started working on the weapon and shield…
Hi guys, been so long since I posted anything... the 2D section has really picked up! Moof looking stellar as per usual. Pascal that's some fun dragon rendering :3 Anyhow I'm going to focus on weapon design for a bit I think. This is my most recent weapon, a key blade designed with the Roman deity, Janus in mind.. in case…
Glad to see you got the socket previewer working...fun isnt it?? :) Weapon wise, dont know that a hospital balloon is but it looks like your gloss is the problem. I hadn't had the chance to open the master shader for the weapons but it might use the spec map as a gloss map as well. Try to darken your spec areas where the…
I love how you redesigned it! Like others said, it seems to be a great balance of the highly realistic detailed style of current gen, but also has the sort of stylized aesthetic of weapons in old retro games. It keeps the look of how old low poly models had big accented shapes without overdoing it. It's an aesthetic I wish…
Well, let's ask like this: Why does the US have nukes? What country could invade them? Canada? MEXICO? Even the Chinese or Russians could be beaten easily in a war. The reason the nukes are there is because they don't want anyone to try. Deterrent, not actual weapon. As Pratchett put it, "Leonardo wanted to invent a weapon…
I agree, for most of my characters (I'm fairly hopeless at modeling believable weapons) i just place seams here and there and use LSCM, then I go in with a few manual tweaks in live UV mode. For weapons that I've texture I think that of course it's faster to try and place seams everywhere it is ****ing annoying to do and…
@cosmicsugar For Miranas hairdo, I personally prefer the one you did for her front view. The one using a flower rose as her ribbon on top of her head, with only one ponytail since it fits her best in my opinion, it feels so elegant. The extra glove feels a bit weird since she is already wearing another glove bottom.…
and this once again rears its head. :) glad the work I did a while ago is continuing to be useful. Here: I compiled a spreadsheet of violent crime data from the FBI from 1990-2007 plotted against number of available shooter games on the market, I think via moby games. Of course many shooters are available for years after…
