Flakk Cannon - WIP

[PredatorGSR]

I'm starting work on a set of mini scenes for my portfolio, so I thought I would make a WIP thread as I start on the first one. The concept is an warhammer style flakk cannon placed in a small jungle clearing.

I'm primarily following the designs from the first reference image, with some elements of the second, primarily the base.




Update 1: High Poly Base


Update 2: Horizontal Rotation Assembly


Update 3:


Update 4:






Update 5: High Poly Completed



Update 6: Low Poly





Update 7: Normal Map and AO




Update 8: Texture First Pass

Not sure its worth mentioning since its such a small thing, but it seems in the model the middle area under the gun is slightly elevated, guess that could be moved up a little. Apart from that, sweet start!

Update 2:

Being working on the rotation assembly the last couple days. I'm not sure if the original model was designed to actually be able to move, and its hard to tell from the pictures, so I've had to do some redesigns to get it to work. I'm planning on roughing up the metal and doing more minor tweaks to better match the rough details in the reference once the whole model is completed.

Going to be working on the barrel assembly and vertical rotation mechanism next.

Update 3:

Got the barrels and overall proportions fleshed out. Next step is to work out all the details where the barrels attach to the sides, and finish the back of the barrels.
