Title: Weapons of WWII
Post by: Jehovahenker on June 28, 2009, 10:08:03 am

Since I have vacation I've got all the time of the world to do some nice 3D artwork  :D :P

Thought it would be a nice idea to start with an easy rifle so I can improve my skills, after that one Ill go on with some more weapons from WWII

Here you can see my start for the American rifle: The 'M1 Garand'

Looking very well modelled at the moment! can't wait to see it completed, may I ask where you're getting your reference images? (assuming you aren't doing this from... memory :P)

The aiming side took some time, cause it became melformed all the time, but as far as I can see it's oké now

Some sort of finished it, I might search for a better wood texture =/ not sure

and I will improve it, because some edges are a bit weird :P

And I have 1 question, about the texturing: the woodtexture looks OK on most places, except for the flat places on top of it, hoe can I improve that? (see second picture)

Ill make a nice render of it today or tomorrow ;)

very nice. the textures look great. are they from the reference picture or drawn. anyways i would say to unwrap them in lithurunwrapper to avoid that "stretching" effect on the top and bottom.

but great work!

Very nice, yes... Not looking at any original images to compare, but I do like it!  A bit funny you doing this, because awhile back I had started in on a project tied in with WWII modeling... specifically certain things associated with Nazi Germany, for an unusual video game/movie idea.

Just googled 'woodtexture' :P

I'm think Im going to make a start to a thompson gun or a luger pistol... still doubting :P

Great model, I fully support your choice of subject, as I'm a bit of a gun nut, and I'd recommend the Luger, for more originality. The thompson is overdone in my opinion, and the Luger is a bit more of a challenge, which I think you're up to.
