Ak 47

[rascal]

Hi Mates,

i figured that the millions of AK47 Models in this world are just not enough.. so i had to make another one.

No honestly, the AK47 is my favourite weapon in CSS and i plan to bring this ingame, either as a Aug or SG552 replacement. This was my first weapon model (besides the glock from stormys tutorial) and I was quite happy to bring everything under in one uvw. Now i am looking forward to hear your thoughts!

Best regards, rascal

I realy dig the texture style you're using there. We don't see that alot with weapons... Very nice piece of work!

one thing thouhg, i think your maps can use a sharpen pass. Your diffuse for example looks somewhat blurry in some places. Nothing big though...

hey rascal, i gota say this is one of great AKs i have seen, and i don't really have much C&C, but just one, its best to always watermark your textures .
cheers

AK looks really good let me say.

A few things that kinda don't sit right with me but hey its your model.
1. I've never seen a handle wrapped in duck tape. I just don't think someone would chose to not use the grip from the wood and instead use something that is slippery like tape.

2. Second the wood could use some more ware where someone would grip it. Use a light dodge on the front handle and the butt, where you would put your chin and hand

Over all piece. Hope that helps

Nice work, dude

The one thing that bothers me is the tape on the handle. Granted, it won't be seen much if at all, but I'd expect it to be wraped around much more than just the once (or it would likely slip off).

Real shame there's no normal map on it, would have made this look awesome.

I really like the texture work as well, really nice work on the distress added.

hey a realistic weapon texture! fantastic stuff. Its really refreshing to see a weapon that isnt textured in the st.burst.cc style

nice work on the lighting and presentation too

[Dennispls]

dude this is the first weapon in ages that i really like

nice presentation as well

great work

I have to agree with dennis. There are a lot of weapons nocking about out there but this is really, seriously nice. I love the textures, awseome stuff.

The presentation really sets it off too.

Update:

Hey mates. Thanks a lot for the very positive critics! I feel honored.

3 things you guys mentioned i have adjusted now:

1. put a sharpen filter on top of the maps
2. made the wood a bit brighter to give it a more touched look
3. put one more ducttape stripe on the grip (the reason why i have ducttape there at all is that the fine grip pattern that is under it would give me a moire effect ingame with a 2K texture. That's why there is ducttape, hehe)
4. oh, and i added a watermark to the diffuse.
