[wip]republic Commando Blaster Rifle

Tribal-Bob

<div class="IPBDescription">Making an actual [wip] thread</div> So this is my first model, and I know I have a thread on it, but I figured now that I have a bit more to show that's been fixed up a big (was having some problems before) that I'd make a new wip thread. It's slowly getting there, I just have to do the clip, the trigger, handle, and Im going to re-do the muzzle. I might try skinning it myself, but Im not that comfortable yet.

Model so far:

ugly gun to begin wiht, but its not bad imo... one thing that irks me dude is that your barrel, doesnt look like a barrel, maybe SS of the front? i wanna see how it looks

Tribal-Bob

Well, like I said, I'm re-doing the muzzle/barrel area. Ill put up a screen once that's done, unfortunately due to the lack of ref pics (other than screen shots) so Im sort of winging it in a few places.

BAshh

i understand that. glad to see you're redoing the barrel. because using common sense you'd know that the way the screeny is, where the gun is pointed, and how the angles are, that the thing thar is a barrel, a normal one, which is nothign more than a cylinder ^_^ that's all you really need to do with it

Tribal-Bob

Yeah, for the muzzle Im basically going by the teammate's rifle which seems to be a cylinder like you said, with a slightly tapered end.

Also, the gun looks slightly ugly in that pic cause of the angle, I personally think it looks quite cool, but your results may vary <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

so is the gun!

Bit of an update, nothing new added, but alot of tweaking done. I've fixed the forward indent, removed the sights for now, re-done the muzzle, redone the top of it near the center (cleaner now) and added an actual indent for the clip. Im gonna start on the trigger area next, then Ill re-do the sights and it should be ready for skinning/animating.

It's interesting, everytime I load the model up again and compare it to the screenshots, I keep noticing something that I missed and go back to add it in, and by the time I've finished fixing it up with the new addition, I need to take a break.

Gun's lookin' great, AND nice and low poly, too. I'm not a fan of that grip design, but meh. The modeling's nice, though.
