Guns
Calling this finished since there's other things I've got to mover onto. Happy with the model, semi-happy with the materials and presentation. Some of the materials have came out wrong somehow (the grey parts on the m4 for example) but I can't really spend any more time on in.
Crits and comments welcome.
cheers

Gect - yeah I know the whole guns thing, think it's time for me to move on. Just made one and liked and it became a habit.
Arran - cheers, the mat is just a texture file (2046 x 2046) with the colour tweaked in photoshop. Just plugged the same file straight into the bump and it came out fine. I've got loads of similar fabric textures from a bundle I got from somewhere.
cheers

This looks really nice. Some of the materials are better than others, but the modeling is great!

I've just printed this image in colour and high quality but it has come out way darker than it appears on my monitor.
Wondering whether the print or my monitor settings are the issue - is the image sufficiently lit on your monitors, can you see the detail on the shotgun pump and small gun?
Also what is a good way to calibrate your monitor so that you know your work is looking like it should?
cheers

how many ink cartridges does it have?
what is the paper you were printing on?
i think they all have weights on the final print
and good work on those models. they are awesome!
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Thanks for the input. Don't know the print details I'm afraid - thought the paper is high quality (300 gram I think) and the print is what my university calls "high quality". I think it's probably because I need to tune my monitor. I've never made anything to print before.Originally posted by Chirone
