Ok, so i decided to look back in the vault to last year and finish a couple of projects, starting with this one. Finished the high poly, just about to start breaking it down for the low poly, was originally planning to build more detailed stuff for it including the grenade attachments and such but a year out and there still isnt much reference to go by so ive decided to call it a day at this, nothing imprssive yet but i will post when i get somewhere near completion with the low poly.
I decided to drop the red dot sight and instead make some iron sights like those used in bad company 2, though due to lack of reference (thats the motto for this project) i ended up winging it and piecing together some form of ironsight as close as i could get it from screencaps from the game. The front aperture is a bit wierd as i was going for a fold down barrel mounted system but the barrel is so far down on the XM8 it ended up being longer then i intended it but not much to help that im afraid.
later
