Revolver + News
Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Hello all. I recently happened across a really great website, http://www.cgcookiecitizen.com/
This website has lots of great modeling tutorials for applications like Blender. I recently starting going through their featured M4 modeling tutorial, and it has been a great benefit to me. The model was made entirely in Blender, so I’ve been learning all kinds of hot-keys and tips to modeling high-poly models in Blender. I was so impressed by just the first 3 parts of the total 14+, that I decided to completely redo my revolver model in high poly, using all the new stuff I had learned from the tutorial.
This is the WIP revolver so far. As I learn more from the tutorial, I go back and make changes to the model. After the high poly is finished, I am going to make a low poly version, and then spend some quality time with normal map baking in Blender.
The model is about 70% complete, and is missing the smallest details and patterns. As you can see, the frame looks very soft because it is lacking reinforcing edges.
It looks beastly-er now. IT LOOKS like it should make a huge bang. A huge one. Nice job.
(Now I remember)
