Hello guys! I’d like to start by saying that before this job, I spent a lot of time porting models for Garry’s Mod and creating new armor models for Kenshi using the game’s own assets. But in my recent works for Kenshi, I’ve started creating my own sword models and other stuff, sometimes using the game’s own textures or creating my own. This gave me a bit of a foundation to get to grips with creating models and UVs for them. I’m telling you this just to give a bit of my background, and this is in no way an ads for my works. And I hope that’s allowed here. And I hope this might be interesting to someone. And now, about my model: When creating the model, I intended for it to be usable in a game, and it could work perfectly both in third‑person and first‑person perspectives. As a reference for my USP, I used the model of the same pistol from CSGO to simply understand the dimensions and how it could be made myself. Of course, I also used photos of the pistol from the internet. But all the work on my model was done by me, without using any ready‑made meshes. Also, when creating the pistol, and especially the attachments for it, I planned for everything to be modular. You’ll be able to choose different slide, grips, and so on. So far, this is more evident in the attachments for the pistol, especially the underbarrel ones. I got this idea from the game Borderlands 3, where a single gun model can have many different meshes and be combined, giving it a different and new look. (If anyone who’s played knows what I’m talking about.) About the textures: I used downloaded free PBR textures and nodes, as third‑party programs don’t work well on my PC. As a temporary solution, I personally like it, especially the texture for the grip. But I plan to delve deeper into texturing. I managed to create a pretty good UV for the pistol, and so far only for the pistol. But again, I also plan to improve this aspect for future works. I also attached the pistol model to the armature, so now it has many movable parts, such as the slide, trigger, magazine, and so on. And I’m still working on the model. I plan to finish the rest of my ideas, especially the attachments, like a scopes and more. But I decided to share my work now. I’d be very glad to read both your general opinion and any advice for this work, or even for future ones. Thank You!   submitted by   /u/HatedMekkr [link]   [comments]
