I want to introduce you to a personal friend of mine

This is an M41A Pulse Rifle. 10mm, with a 30mm over-and-under Pump Action Grenade Launcher.

This is my uni coursework, but I'm really happy with how it's currently turning out even this early in texturing. Just thought I'd share.

Thanks, man. I still have a lot of texture work I need to do - the grip and action on the shotgun need to be a black/ grey plastic and the ejection port on the shotgun/ charging handle on the gun (it's actually an M1A1 Thompson SMG) need to be a more silver-ey grey.

But yeah I'm really happy with how it's going

BaconShelf · December 07, 2017, 10:40:36 AM

Sorted some issues out and retextured it. This time, I got the ammo readout working nicely!

Looking good, i can hear it going off in my head. What program are you using? I was thinking a while back to try and sculpt something to submit for a game in steam.

thanks! Autodesk Maya for the model itself, and imported into Substance Painter for texturing. Think photoshop but for 3D models.

Maya is pretty commonly used in industry, a lot of 3D artist roles list maya proficiency as a requirement, but I'm not sure on the status of Painter in industry but I'm pretty sure it's also used.

thank you for the gold, kind stranger

So we have to present our model (aside from actually submitting the file itself, of course) and the textures in a .pdf file, which we're allowed to embellish with custom designs. I'm considering this as my opening page (my name, username and sketchfab links aren't present though)

BaconShelf · December 07, 2017, 05:34:28 PM

woah look at me being all professional and shit wtf

Jet Wave · December 07, 2017, 06:22:00 PM

I'm just an artist. I really want to make the M56 Smartgun at some point though. Next though is gonna be the Halo 2/3 Battle Rifle or the Halo Reach assault rifle.

It's actually what Hicks says when he's teaching Ripley how to use the weapon. No idea if it's a reference or not.

Actually looks like it could be a pretty fun model to do.

Uploaded to sketchfab if anyone wants to have a look at a 3D view

Hey same, glad to see you're doing the stuff you want, though.

Mind you, I'm still in college, my course is making me do artifacts from a museum in Maya, so its kind of boring, I've yet to go on the trip so I've not done much with Maya yet.

No clue yet, I'm taking a gap year to figure it out, I like animation, more of the 3D stuff but I also like designing in illustration.
