Been a while since I have done any sort of update or blogging, found that I have become super lazy when it comes to personal work. So I guess it's just fitting to dust off the blog with a fresh new project.

Recently I have been converted to switch to Blender, so if you know of some cool tutorials or articles I should read, please link them below, will definitely have a look!

Here are some quick renders of an upcoming project, decided to go with something other than a weapon, still lots to get done but somewhere it will get done

Article I wrote for 80 LVL on the making of the 1928 Thompson

Getting the rear irons down. USMC KAC 200-600m Micro

Well, it is as the title says. For some reason, I have never had the opportunity to make an ACOG scope so I decided to make one. Decided to go with the USMC RGO, Trijicon ACOG 4x32 M150 (ta31rco-m150cp ACOG). C&C always welcome.

Feast your eyes below :D

In a brutal week with the flu and the occasional fever, I finally managed to get some base texturing done for the M24 project.

It has some wear to it but I find it to be maybe to subtle? No dirt and dust as of yet since I'm not done texturing. Im thinking of adding a nice desert camo paint over with a decent amount of damage. The whole idea is to make this feel like the rifle has been used quite a bit and has been used by multiple users. I want the textures to tell it's owner/s story.

So with that said, there is still quite a bit to be done, but I decided to share some WIP with you guys.

Spending hours trying to restore "accidentally" deleted files is a real nightmare. In the future ill make sure my files aren't corrupt before I delete the backups. Aw well this one is on me.

On the flip side. Here is a shot of the LP42 flare gun I had to make for a art test. For the test I had to only make the flare gun but I think for a personal project Ill add more accessories to it and then a flare casing.

The reference I used for the texturing

M24 Rifle

I have been a long time fan of the M24 rifle. So why not do a project on it? There isn't a certain look that I want to achieve, just having some fun while exploring new techniques. Ill keep adding WIP images here until the project is done. Enjoy :D

Here is some high poly shots of the rifle so far. CC welcome!
