I finally got around to uploading this. It's a pretty large download but contains around 7 hours of footage. This tutorial covers the complete creation of a modern weapon from start to finish. Everything is covered here including subd modeling, low poly creation, uving, baking, and texturing.

The sound isn't great but it will do.

I hope you enjoy!

Nice! You da man! Thanks for taking the time to make this for us noobs ;) Ive got a full day of waiting for After Effects to render tomorrow, so this will be a great way to pass the time.

-N!

Good TIMES! Thx man

OH HELL YEAH!

I have been *so* looking forward to this

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and for making it available!

oh em geee... its d/l'ing slow :P

awsome you finally released it man. Extra cool that you covered uurverything rather than just a specific part. Gotta go steal some of my friends bandwidth now

yeah I could probably use some mirrors or something...

Cool its here! Sneaky putting this in tech talk, since you originally posted in pimp&Preview.
Downloading is slow for now, maybe you shouldn't let too many people know about it untill I download it.

I'm in the process of uploading for a mirror. I'll post the url once they're up. Would anyone be interested in a torrent for these? Might not be a bad idea.

so nice of you.*_^
Downloading is slow here,it going take 5 hours to download each file....
Torrent idea is not bad too...
Edit
You upload HD video on vimeo and mirror files will save lot of bandwidth..

Torrent is a good idea. I was going to set one up but I have no idea how to do web seeding and can't leave my PC on 24/7.

I can only upload 1 HD video to vimeo per week with a free account. My webhost gives me unlimited bandwidth anyway.

If you want to create a torrent file and start seeding, I can go ahead and start seeding as well. I'll leave it going for awhile, and you can shut off whenever you want.

I'd start it, but I've still got a little bit of time before the last rar file finishes. If not, I can upload one in a little while.

OPINIONS WILL BE EDITED ONCE TRANSFER SESSION IS COMPLETE.

Yeah torrents will be alot better, each file will take about 6 hours for me here :/

A - M - A - Z - I - N - G. Seriousley this looks like a very promising tutorial! downloading now.

Thanks alot for the tutorial racer, looking sweet!
Downloading now :d

cheers racer, I'm sensing that all of a sudden there will be a lot of AK74u's around ^^

W00T! finally i've been waiting forever for this :P downloading now looks great

thnx!

very nice
racer could I make a suggestion?
the multiple downloads at 500mb each are quite large, what about labelling each one up as a component? for example, I am mostly interested in the sub D modelling, game mesh and texturing, not so much the UV layouts etc. Not to say I won't watch them, but it'd be great to prioritise.

needless, thats nitpicking, and I can't wait to watch this and learn!
cheers man

Awesome, d/l now .. hopefully check it out tonight. If this becomes a torrent i'll seed. (Also never created a torrent .. )

Yep, I'm downloading as well. I might upload it to somewhere else also, I bet you're gonna need some mirrors!

Thanks a lot for this dude, you'll help a lot of people!

Good stuff man! Thanks for sharing, always great to see other artist's techniques!

Plz can someone do a torrent. I got to 230 mb after like an hour and my internet cut out.

hm, i have had superfast download speeds for all the files. can't wait to view the 7 hour epic

Looks awesome, thanks a ton.

Once a torrent is up I'll start get seeding as well, my home PC is on pretty much 24/7
