Making guns for PERP

uie · Sunday at 10:15 AM

Massive necro because I finally textured it (still needs some more details like texturing on the grips, mag release, and some screws. Mine's definitely not as good as XQ's work, but I think it's serviceable.

Who knows, might have a new sweater SMG soon.

Well. It's done.

I don't think I can make it look any better than that, I'm not Xquality.

Good enough for PERP?

If you are looking for feedback, looks like your UVs need some work. I can see some warping in the texture that would probably come from bad unwrapping. For the texture itself, don't get comfortable with auto masks or just placing a texture on it and calling it a day. Manually adding details makes any prop shine. Think of where the gun would have more wear and paint it there, same with dirt etc. Parts of the texture that are difficult to make can also be done via geometry. Baking is a godsent.

The model itself looks good, keep it up

Yeah, it does look at bit procedural atm. I'm gonna try painting more AO around areas that would have it, having to do it manually cause baking with the AO node is a pain.

I haven't had much experience with UVs, so I've been using Smart UV project. I'm not sure if it's bad practise, but it seems to do the job fine once the texture is baked.

I added some wearing around the parts, so now it looks like a true battle-scarred MP40.

I'm especially proud of that thumb smudge xD

I would love to see this on perp.

Good work but there’s far better weapons for PERP than an MP40. Anyone who says this would serve as something of regular use beyond an occasional budget run raid or a meme gun would probably be lying. That being said I guess it wouldn’t be too out of place par se and there’s probably worse choices.

Can't believe you've been working on this for 7 years. Keep it up.

Ok can you make weed gun or flintlock, Felton has worked on this for years but could never make it come to fruition
