Render

Modeled by me, meshed, optimized and smoothed by Black Skull. Need to be skinned and animated.

Download model and mesh here.

Hope you guys like it!

I'll give this one a go, I'd like to practice my skinning.

oh.. I almost forgot. some facts about it can be found here and many videos of it here.

Neat, and welcome.

it will be nice to use the collabteration forums for their purpose...

**MOVED**

The map for the front grip is kind of weird, but I'm working with it.



You can see where theres problems with the UV for the grip. This is mostly just colors, not really a lot of detail at the moment.

Make the body of the skin a little bit darker, and add some scratches and some minor details that bring out alot in a skin.

hmm.. if you cant figure out the front grip map I can ask Black Skull to make it better or something.

Found a bunch of pics of xm8 here, everything from concept, early prototypes and the latest designs of it. Should help you find details that u can add on the texture.
Would be great if u get it as accurate and detailed as possible u are able to.

ooo neat thanks. I think I can make the map work, I just need to do a little fiddlin around in the skin.


Updated it some, I'm aware where there needs to be more detail.

hm... I don't like the final version of the XM8 very much... Looks too G36-ish.

Try to keep the coloring of the prototype...



or maybe make it TSA green?

Yeah I was thinking about making two skins, the TSA green and the Prototype. I think though my skin is a bit to yellow, so I can fool with that a little.

looks nice so far!

Ok.. dont want to whine and complain about the skin, since its a supar early wip.
Take a look. (just wanna help a bit )

EDIT: btw.. are u gong to make the "lines/grooves" between each part of the rifle?

Yeah I'll add those lines, bolts, etc.

I might not have time to work on this Today, and tomorrow. My grandpa passed away this week so we're working on getting the funeral ready. :X

how is it going? havent heard from u for a while now..

looks impressive have you seen my version?

no.. I dont think so.

oh ok. but I think the XM8 is a more futuristic looking G36 because it's more rounder than the G36.

uh.... I think the prototype looked more futuristic. the final version not that much imo.... but yep... it has a slightly touch of "future"

The xm8 is basicly just a upgraded g36. I dont think the final xm8 design look like the g36 so much really. the concept/prototype design looked alot more like g36.
Nonetheless.. both g36 and XM8 are quite cool looking

Anyways... anyone seen Dr. X online lately? havent heard from him for a while..

Fellas, a lot of you say G36ish probably because it has a large rail, and a standard scope..

I've been out of town... and I duno about this week, im going to have to go to a friends for the week... sorry about this :/

I was really bored...

hey.. that looks quite good

are u going to finish it?

Indeed I am.
Small update:

I hate to double post,
But im done.

wow delta! BIG improvement from the p90! i really like this, the shininess looks soo nice!

Thanks Fatal

looks quite good.. but isnt the black areas a bit dark? imo they sould be a bit lighter, maybe some shine/lightning could do the trick?
one more thing.. the little lens shouldnt be there.. its where the battery for the sight module is going in.
But it dosnt really matter though. now it needs animations.

Will animate!! C'mon...
