Title: WIP-AK-47
Post by: Indian8or on November 06, 2008, 09:52:45 am
Enjoy my assault (rifle).  Spent some time with it.  A lot of work needs to be done including sizing, texturing, and some detailing.

Just wanted to share with you all.

Looking good. Nice details, too bad the part where the bullets go in isn't that detailed (yet?). Some good textures will make this look really good.

Very nice, I agree with floyd, the details at the front are very cool. I just wonder how it would look like, when you put a texture.

Keep the work up ;)

Thanks guys.

Actually, a lot many details are yet to be incorporated.  Probably I will get time today to work on it.

I agree, this model already looks good, but it'll look great once it's textured. The front details
are nice too. Good work.

I almost forgot to work on this model.  Today, I thought I should try to give it some shape.  Here is my attempt at texturing my ak-47. 

Still need some changes.

Nice texturing! I love the gritty look of it.

I'm totally agree with 3D Joe Wiltshire. The texture is very realitic, I wish I would be as good as you are.

Great job on the texturing! It llooks like a real gun with that patina.

To improve ..... maybe you could up the resolution on the butt and the hand grip.  Maybe  some tweaking of a bummap aand a spec map to introduce some highlights.

Just depends how far you want to go.

Thanks guys for the encouragement.  I have a long way to go to perfect my texturing.  I am just playing around with anim8or and hope to learn a lot from you guys.  thanx again.

I do agree with headwax, a higher definition texture would be nice.  That way you could get more details.
I also noticed that there are some artifacts in the render on the gun, though I don't believe it's really the texture.  It seems more to me a smoothing issue.  So you way want to turn up the smoothing angle and make creases by changing edge properties.

Yes, I agree.

I wanted to give the gun a rugged texture.  It should look like a gun that has changed several hands and kind of old, worn out.

Another render.

what are you using to texture it? it looks really good

Nooblet:  I use an ancient version of photoshop and/or MS paint to do my texturing.

you don't use any uv mapping stuff like UV mapper?
Title: Re: WIP-AK-47
Post by: Indian8or on November 16, 2008, 02:18:32 am
Yes I use UV classic to unwrap my models. Its a free stuff I downloaded from internet.

Still experimenting.  Actually, lately I am on a modelling spree.  I realized I have so much to learn.

Yes, I may use it, but not in a game, but in a short avi that I am compiling right now.  I am making/gathering tons of models for the film, which I hope I will be able to complete sooner.

Gah, I suck at gun modeling.

It would be a great tutorial if you put up the basics of it.

I love the AK 47  ;D I am anxious  to see the final version.
