Hey guys, new to renderosity. Been using Bryce for a while. Any suggestions for my mp5kPDW? Its completely done in Bryce5 (The magazine is actually just a jpg covering up the one that I made cause the one I made looked horrid)...any comments appreciated

thanks!

Very impressive. I am not so great at modeling, I wish I was better.

Looks pretty good! Maybe tweak some textures, or make it shinier gun-metal? Still, much more realistic than my weapon attempts...!

Shinier is bad. That's a covert ops weapon, and would be flat mat black. Instead, the bump map on the body would be grainer.

haven't fired one of these in almost 10 years (at a firing range, I'm no Rambo..;), but isn't there a protrusion on the part the ejects the spent round, or am I just misremembering again..;) Looks good to me, could you section a torus and flatten it to make the magazine?..just curious..

yeah, you guys are right on the shinyness of the metal body. The reference I was using was from my own plastic replica, but I couldnt quite get the textures to look right in Bryce...the pic is of my current attempt, an m4. i think the modeling and textures are far more accurate than my PDW (but thats just my opinion.

...and pakled, I have figured out how to do the magazine more accurately now. Im going to use a 2d picture in the lattice editor to create the magazine (like i did for the m4a1). and the ejection port if thats what you are referring to is on the other side of the gun)

hav u done an uzi?

not yet...planning on doing any gun model I can think of though...eventually (when I have the time). For now, its the mp5 series and the Colt/Armalite series

guess it's been longer than I thought..;) it's dangerous to be left-handed sometimes..;) Looks pretty darn good, no matter what..
