My first weapon, Makov .89 (redone)
« on: July 26, 2007, 08:18:03 am »
(whoops, its not my first weapon. its my first RELEASED weapon.)
(redone)

Finally believed it was worthy of (re)uploading. Constructive criticism please.

To be honest, it's really bland. It needs better shading.

Here's Espadon's shading tutorial, it really came in handy when I started my mod:

Ah, but there is a science to all-grey too. You need to have more subtle shading. And you need to transition from black to your internal grey color on your stock so that it doesn't look jagged.

Nice remake of my Lazarus interface.
There's too low contrast of shading colors, try make darker.
I have nothing to black parts inside weapons, but try replace them with darker color, not exactly black. Outline is ok, but shading is too bright to notice.
I dont like self-advertising, but you can see simple step-by-step shading there:

For a first mod it's excellent work. The shading isn't bad at all and it's nice and big and quite detailed.

I agree it could do more in the way of shadng (or more accurately tone) I think the grey part of it could be toned down in places to give it a more 3D look with a few more shadows.

Nice work regardless.

Thanks, it was the first time i'd touch the interface-gfx's interface gfx (lol. Bacisally, first interface mod.)
As you can see.. i kinda remade the gun, in 5 minutes or so.
