Hey, all. I hope you aren't getting sick of all of my models taking up forum space?

Anyway, I'll keep this simple. People on the FPSC boards have been asking a lot for WWII weapons, so I'm taking it upon myself to make a WWII weapons pack. The first model in line is the Type 14 Nambu, one of my favourites.

Believe it or not, I've actually decided to get off my ass and texture it as well.



Please give some comments to how I can improve.

It looks very good, but the design for the gun is strange (but most ww2 weapons are strange in design )

It looks strange, in fact, with the right texture, that'd look like some cool alien pistol or something...

Lol, I noticed the Ambient Occlusion, you're favourite new feature...

I know, It's so awesome that you practically don't need textures...

Here's my reference image; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e2/Type_14_Nambu.jpg

Looks good. Only thing is that the ring thing around the trigger looks like it should come forward a little further, and that there is some kind of lever on the back that you missed.

Aside from comparing with the reference picture, the design of the gun looks pretty good, albeit slightly strange, like CG said. Regardless, if you get it rigged it'll be great.

Oh, the lever thing is a clip, I think. It's there, you just can't see it from the angle.

The trigger guard is a bit wonky, I know. I seem to be bad at those bits.

Looking good, But you still haven't applied smoothing groups to any of the faces, that give out the hard edges. I want to see this textured please lol. oh and the cylinder has way to many faces, you could just give it the illusion it is smooth with the smoothing groups. As an 3d artist it is very important to optimize mesh areas wherever required. Still your doing a great job. I think your good enough at modeling, so how bout some texturing?

I have, look at the second screen.

But anyway, I've textured a bit more. Here's a screen.



Yes, I know, it's a bloody mess. There are seams everywhere, but I'm still working heavily on it.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I had a bit of a rough day...

The texture is nearly finished, I'll post another screen when it's done.

Thanks for the comments!

This looks nice, looks just like the one from Call Of Duty: World At War. If this would go into FPS Creator, I'd probably buy it if I was making a war game!

Toasty, the model looks solid but a few things...

1. When presenting a FPP model, it is most helpful to see a rear 3/4 angle because that is mostly what matters as you don't see the front unless committing suicide.

2. Remove the lights/ambient occlusion because it gives a false sense of texture quality when you are texturing. It's ok for an untextured model but ultimately it sets you up for disappointment. Overall, it looks like a faithful representation. So, good job!

3. Show a pic of what it looks like when cocking,shooting, etc.

4. If you're going for a pack, be mindful of things like cylinder sides on the barrel. It's fine for this pistol as standalone because it's not high-poly but if, for example, you include a more geometrically complex weapon and need to have the barrel with less sides to keep polycount in-line it might look inconsistent.

Okay, thanks for the comments Errant.

Here's some with a 3/4 view. I removed the ambient occlusion, but I'm still learning with Blender; I tried removing the lighting as well but then the model just showed up black.

Can I ask you, how do you export the UV Map so that it has the polygons mapped onto it?

Oh, you just save the UV layout as an image in the UV mapping window, and then load the image into the UV mapping window.

Looking good, Wood could use some work, have a look here
http://psdtuts.com/tutorials-effects/the-ultimate-wood-texture-tutorial/
And then Just change the hue saturation to suit the original wood in the ref image.
Lower the opacity of the black lines on the wood a bit. And there a little bit thick.

Keep going!
