M3 Grease Gun!

CougarJo · Mar 2013

Here my WIP for the M3 I'm working on!

There are still things to do :

-model the missing parts
-scale +/- some parts
-merge the receiver with handle etc
-some edges are waaaay too sharp!
-And Zbrush that baby for the welding along the body etc!

And of course bake an texture

(Sorry, I suck at rendering -__-)

Little updapte. I just tweak some parts, and merge the main body with the handle and the piece where the mag get in.

Can't wait to texture :poly124:

What program are you using?

Please use different model presentation with mental ray:

I use Maya.

Thanks for the tip, I'm not good at rendering haha! I'll try that at the next step of the high poly, before making the weld on Zbrush.

I tried the welds on the main body. Thanks to dudealan2001 for the brush!

No wireframe because of the decimation!

Little update!

I need to add and tweak some things on the texture, more love on the gloss, redo some bakes...

CougarJo · May 2013

Done!

It's time to move on! The wasteland 2 crowdsourcing killed my planning for the M3, so it took longer than expected.

My bake aren't flawless at all, I redid some of them, but meh

I learned a lot about bakes during WL2 and when I tried to tweak those of the M3.

I think the model looks really nice and looking at some images the texture work is pretty close to real, but for a game asset it might lack some interest in the texture that could be achieved with different wear and color changes.

I did a little paintover for you, to show what I mean.

More wear would definitely help the model a lot. Also its so 1 colored. Maybe make some of the smaller parts slightly darker or something, like the trigger.

A carving into the long tube side of the gun, like lll/ll (well you know lines as numbers) a name or something could really break the simplicity and make it more interesting and give it history.

Stromberg90 : Thanks for the paintover

I'll do some changes in this direction!

Shrike : I see what you mean with numbers, names etc. I tried not to make an OVER used weapon, as we often see in 3D.

I will use your comments and make an "anti boring'' pass on the model

Last update!

I followed your advices and made some slight changes! (color variation on specular, a little more scratches and wear, some parts are in a different color than the main body...)

Thanks
