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 an Lever Action Rifle that i have been making for some time now, finally managed to finish it off :3
fMan, awesome texture!
the texture isnt great for me the wood doesn't look real the metal is okay could possibly use either some scratches or higher resolution metal to sharpen it a bit as the metal looks a bit blurry overall though its a nice piece well done
texture size of 1024x1024 was an deliberate choice, and do you mind explaining what you mean with "the wood doesn't look real", since by saying that you could just aswell say: "it looks bad" and i would bet an equal amount of information from that.
thanks for the crits though, and thanks for commenting
sure thing the wood is a bit too undamaged on an old gun it looks like it should have some nicks out of the wood some fade and and maybe a few scratches for me just a cloud render in photoshop over the top would make the wood more varied and natural.
Thank you, and yes, you have a good point there.
I love it man! Looks like it would be pretty new. If you are going for an older feel, ProfNutButters is right.
Looking sweet, still can't give any meaning to that shadow which i believe it has been done via PS.
Umm, naw it looks like a render shadow.
The shadow is done in the 3d software, the render setup is pretty simple: 2 omni lights, one grey plane as an backround and a camera. I pulled the lights intensity down to about 50-60% and ticked shadow. Also the backround has an reflection to it, but it was rendered invalid by the shadow lol.
good stuff
