new skin for a gun i made awhile ago

[mikeandike22]

what do you guys think of this new skin for my walther p99

 

[thereisaspoon]

inconsistent lighting to say the least

 

[Mapster]

it's a bit blury but besides from that it's all good

 

[mikeandike22]

ty, yeah it the lighting is off mainly cuz there is none in the scene

hey mike i know most of the tuts suges using dodge and burn ..which is excelent if ur doing organics or just a few small highlights but you might want to look into using seelections and shapes for shading via the layer modes .

 

[mikeandike22]

i do a combo,for like the ridges and stuff that sticks out from the side, i select it make a new layer and then dodge and burn it, i guess i went to far.

i wasnt talking about the scene, i was takling about the textures. The grip area especially, it has no shadows. There's one giant highlight around that extruded in area at the bottom, that makes no sense.

 

[mikeandike22]

alright w/e i dont really know what part you are talking about

 

[Lobotomy Lobster]

Looks good, although I agree the lighting looks a bit wierd, and perhaps a bit overdone. Maybe tone it down a little.

Also, kind of off topic, but the muzzle is a bit fat

 

[mikeandike22]

the barrel hasnt been skinned yet, and for the lighting i am working on it. this is the third time i have made a skin, so i am still gettting the technique, and this is the first time i tried to make a silver gun slide.

 

[Dr.breen]

will this be used in a game? if so then who cares about lighting on a prototype screenshot?

is that overly critical or is it me?

also if its not gonna be used in a game why make it...?

/im new to modeling

dr.been
lighting is a key aspect of any 2d painting wether it be in a game or not .
as for models people dont just make models for games they make them for movies and all sorts of things . its an art form .
