it's amazing how much difference turning off quadratic texture filtering makes, always wondered why my textures were blurring so much in maya.

Dumping some details...

[DOG-GY]

you really should make all the hard edges the same softness/hardness. something that gets talked about a lot on polycount and shit is that it looks a lot more professional if it's clear the person has great control over their edge hardness. right now yours reads as done really sloppily.

[Domino]

Well, the mesh isn't really what is gonna be in focus.
So yeah, the edges are quite sloppy.

If I wanted to really do a good job with the mesh, I would have spent more time optimizing it and caring for it.

Also, the next step is collapsing the meshsmooth modifier, and removing non needed edges before I'm gonna throw it into mudbox and add muscles.

Just check the "Use specularity" checkbox in the material or something, then mess around with the spec sliders.

No, it has cubemaps. Try changing your environment to something more interesting.

I think the bullets look a bit plastic. But it's a tiny detail, great looking gun there.

Reduce the saturation on the bullets and they will look fine.
Nice 1911!

I made a Microphone for an SFM project I want to do:



Now I just have to get past getting it compiled...

Getting Back into Modelling full swing again as i have left the studio i was in.

The top bit looks like it's permanently attached to the body of the grenade, as opposed to being screwable. I'm not a modeller, and I usually only lurk here, just criticizing from a visual standpoint. I've got a grenade, I'll take a few pictures to show my point.

Edited:




Notice how the top screws in, as opposed to it being immovable/fused to the grenade itself.

[noforgivin]

I didn't know that!! Thanks

Looks pretty bland. Add some scratches and gouges and rust to the texture, and add a normal map and specular map and what not.

[noforgivin]

Hmph, it has a spec map only atm, i'll rough it up and make some new extra maps, thanks!

Use this. Trust me, it will make your life so very much easier. Since it's a simple model, you can even have it generate the QC for you. Just plop the SMD in and define a few variables (such as the model name and path, as well as the material path), and it'll compile.

Might want to play with the specular map as well, then. The photos SonofBrim posted are a great reference for how the texture and specular would ideally look.

[noforgivin]

I will be re-doing those too ! :D

or you did a high-pass/sharpen like crazy, can't tell

Well, flubbernugget said he got a shotgun, it seemed like the most logical thing to do.

A grenade... That's a straight upgrade. You can't do that. Somebody tell me he can't do that.

[Eeshton]

You can do it.

Looks like the bastard child of an SA80 and an F2000..

That's one weird looking gun.
