3D Artists Group
Arts & Literature
Are you a 3D artist? Are you looking for some inspiration? Do you just want to collaborate or know who your fellow ModDB artists are? Doesn't matter what application you use or how you do it... if you're a modeller, animator, skinner or looking at getting started with 3D, then this is the group for you!
This is the Sniper rifle I modeled for half-life 2 breaking point to replace the crossbow.
This is an early version and no textures are applied yet, those are only base colours. I couldn't think of any other backgrounds so I made a quick reflective metal ground and two walls as a background. The light setup is two area lights with length and width set to 700 with advanced shadows on and final gather set to 1000 points with 2 bounces.
I used 3ds max to make this.
It looks good. What what will the zoom in the scope be?
I'm thinking it to be between x5 to x10, because I don't think that the source engine can handle view-distances longer than that.
Looking sweet! Not sure about the scale of the bricks in the render, haha, but I guess that's not the important bit =].
Its all good except the folding bipod - I'd perhaps add some more detail to it - there's no hinge to collapse them together (only a hinge to collapse them up). Perhaps make it telescopic too? Nothing Major, however!
Awesome otherwise!
Yeah, The props are just temporary, they will be replaced. I want to make it telescopic, but I'm not sure that's what the mod manager wants. x5 to x10 zoom is enough I think.
P.S. I realise the bricks are completely out of scale, in fact, my other (white) render looks better (see profile).
thanks for your comments anyway
3-9 power scopes are popular among target shooters, but 4-12x is more commonly used by the law enforcement and military.
I'll make a note of the 4-12 zoom... thanks for the heads up!
No problem, you may want to make the skin of the scope one that resembles a Leupold MKIV. Since that is the scope most commonly used by snipers alike.
Yeah, That scope is good... but I wanted to stay as close to original reference as possible, heres the original:

great model
I hate snipers though
Thanks... I hate snipers too... evil little campers... >:(
:P
