My M4A1 model, ver.2

[Dr.J]

ok... hey long time no see, nice that the forums are back . anyway, i finally got off my butt and started to do something in terms of texturing this model....

for those of you that dont know what im talking about, this is it:

and this is the beginning of the texture (its the reciever for those that dont know whats happening):

hopefully more to come soon!

EDIT: and about the dodgy stuff... i think that it will sort itself out when i get to applying more texture.

oooh. Sexy.

 

[[121st]Bienlein]

Looks great. How many polys?

 

[Dr.J]

..... the models about 6XXX polygons the last time i checked. theres a low res version at 3XXX sitting on my hdd, but ill reduce the polycount on that later because i wanna make a game model after this.. anyway heres a bit more done... just the logo and a bit more texture

by the way, for those that didnt read the thread that i had in the old forum, its my first time texturing...

Hmm, wheres the trigger?

 

[keihaswarrior]

Looking good. where's the fire mode switch?

 

[Dr.J]

this is just the reciever part of the model. the trigger, foward assist, charging handle, firing mode selector, magazine catch, cocking, etc are actually seperate meshes that will get textured seperately. that said, if there anything that you see that are wrong with the model or texture please feel free to post and........ still more to come soon!

If you want fire selector pictures, see below:

Go to this FM and see several diagrams of the selector in all its glory

EDIT- I just found this picture which is simpler than wading through the FM

[Dr.J]

thanks that is the best pic of the reciever of the M16 i have seen! man the ones at colt.com are so blurry you cant see the logo and stuff... but anyway i didnt know that 'my rifle' is an official creed until now.. you learn something new every day

 

[Freon]

ouch, that's a great reference pic
watch out though, the rest of the gun will look silly compared to the receiver if you don't find other good pics for the stock, barrel, and so on

 

[Shrap]

I had a really good one ( 1600 x 1200 ) of a soldier firing an M16A2 ...it had a full view on the left side of the gun. I'll try to find it for you.

 

[Shrap]

Hmm not finding it ...I'll check my other cds

I got those though...don't know if it can help you


I just found that on the net ...really cool :

[Dr.J]

hey shrapNL, this stuff is really good! thanks . but ive got lots of assessments at school at the moment, so little is happening with the texture at the moment.... anyway stay tuned!

 

[Dr.J]

ok...... got some more done today... thank god its now holidays... . its just a bit more of the reviever...... the part above the pistol trip is now done:

still more to come soon !!

 

[Dr.J]

ok........ did a bit more today ive almost finished one side.

 

[Dr.J]

ok....... got a bit more done... finally got to doing the other side of the reciever !! but anyway here are the pics:

oh yeah........ i just want a bit of opinion here... does the noise on the texture make it look better or worse ?

EDIT: for the left side, for those that are wondering, the side of the rails are now complete.
