Manga Gun

[Tim_LIVID]

A little while back I asked for a gun tutorial, there wasn't one right for my needs so I had to go it alone (scary stuff, lol).

It going to have to animated being assembled (in the end).

C & C welcome as always.

... wow, my first 2 WIP threads ever in the past couple of weeks :)

4 pics showing different stages of development.

.... Wireframe of all the sections blown out ....

[Tim_LIVID]

.... quick render ....

[Tim_LIVID]

.... last render ....


P.S. Having just read Dave's thread ----> This gun is based on a gun from Hellsing ... or it will be when I have textured it. :D

[Jean Carlos]

Great work. Maybe more light and shadows to get the "ambient"... =)

Congratulations ...

p.s: Do the bullet time thing =) the bullet getting out slowly and with waves .. =) hehehe

Cheers,
Jean Carlos

I will do all that sort of stuff when it's finshed, there is a tutorial here (somewhere) that teaches you how to do the bullet time effect so i'll have to do that.

This character that im making has 2 big guns, one white and one black so expect more updates as and when I can.

Gotta finish my Wile E Coyote first (T minus 2 weeks and counting) but then it's Manga style action all the way. :D

[Tim_LIVID]

Just a quick little update for you folks.

Im going to have an animation of it (eventually) being fired with this X-Ray shader.

I an't stop myself from going into detail :confused:

[happymat27]

Excellent stuff, looking forward to seeing finished product!

[Tim_LIVID]

Cheers, im starting to texture it tonight and then some more tommorow (probably).

That is what my weekend consist's of :D

[MainlineX]

Hey Tim, your gun is looking really nice, keep it up, looking forward to the final product. :)

[gohan1842]

it seems like the handle is too short. i mean i wouldnt be able hold it. lol

[Tim_LIVID]

Well that's more of an optical illusion, that handel is the right size but the barrel is abnormaly long. It's hard to see with no texture or hand to give a sence of scale.

I've tweaked the model and cleaned it up a bit, not too much that Im going to post it. You should all like it when it's done (provided I don't mess up on the texturing and lighting again :D)

[ransick]

nice stuff Tim! looking forward to see finishing result! I must say that Im pretty impressed allready...due the fact that you figured this out alone :) that's mine kinda style too! ;)

[Tim_LIVID]

Cheers mate, it's not easy but you learn soo much. I've started the scary part of texturing, it's not going to bad, I will post my progress in the next couple of days.

Cheers for the interest.

So you are going to model Arucard aswell as his guns? :D :D :D

Good luck, i've tried and failed. I was going to do a 3D image from the seen when he's fighting (if thats what you call it) one of the brothers (can't remember his name) when the mansion is under attack.

[Tim_LIVID]

It's not going to be easy but it's something that i've wanted to do for a while but never had the guts.

Im not even sure if im good enought to do him justice but I will try. :D

[Tim_LIVID]

This is just a quick update to show you guys where I am with this. I have started the texturing, when I have finished all the textures I will go back and dirty they up a bit and add some bump maps.

If you can see anything drasticly wrong then please tell me :D

[Tim_LIVID]

And one with the head attached, next it the external clips, reciol spring, trigger ..... :confused:

[Tim_LIVID]

So everything is roughtly textured so this evening I will work on the imperfections etc.

P.S. What should I do about the back of the grip, you can see the polys really clearly. :(

[happymat27]

Looking very good, especially liking the spring in the exploded view, looks totally wobbly! Great stuff, keep it up.

Mat.

[RubberChicken]

Fantastic looking gun you got there. I would really like to see a gold version of it! :D

[Tim_LIVID]

Well I orignally made the sring in a really complecated way which took me ages, but then I got a good tip from one of the guys at Escape (cheers Mark :D) usings locators and snapping to points.

.... oh, one gold version comming right up.
