Requests are keeping me busy when school work is over....

Here is some progress on the requested Chinese assault rifle, the QBZ-95.

I have to redo the pistol grip and then work on the end of barrel stuff like flash hider. After that some small details and it should be good to go.



While working on the rifle I wanted to make a quick survival knife type. I had a few loose ideas in my head so just went off of a few mental concepts. The first image, an actual render, turned out sort of weird but pretty I think. It's smooth as heck but it's alright. Not a great piece but I wanted to model a quick knife and that's what I got.



I'll finish up this rifle tomorrow hopefully and then move on to the break apart rifle/shotgun thingy, another request.

I'm speechless. Have you considered doing this for a money? Maybe work some game developer?

[N88TR]

I've been offered pay but for right now I'm doing it for fun. I do have plans however to sell of my models, the more polished versions in the future.

The Chinese rifle has a ways to go but I hope to get it finished or very close to by the end of today.

Good work there, what program do you use?

Started up a brand new model.

It's a concept rocket launcher. I call it the Body Bagger. lol silly name considering a direct hit would make it scoopable gibs, no bags needed.

Spoiler:

I redid the pistol grip again, to greatly reduce PolyCount. And I redid a few button/release thingys on the stock for lower PCs as well. I redid the barrel and flash hider to reduce PC once again. There was request for the same rifle but with a different trigger group and foregrip, a variant model, which I will do soon.

In the images below you will see that I made a vanilla version [straight off the ref image] and then a Tactical Flavor with my super scope and quick and dirty can. The tactical flavor I am hesitant to put up for download so I will have to think about this a bit more but it's just mostly a teaser image, plus I wanted to see the gun with a decent scope on it. Lol again but that scope is over-powering, makes the model look weak. I need to step up my weapon modeling game and actually turn out something I'm proud of.

Without further ado,



I'll start work on the other QBZ rifle, the more modern version that was requested. I'll redo the whole model, I really need to, I wasted so much geometry on the old one [pics above.] It shouldn't take me too long. :supercool:

If you want to download this model, PM me. If you want to use the model is a mod PM me.

Say, have you considered modeling for Jedi Academy? Those guys down at the Jedi Academy forum are always looking for modelers.

[N88TR]

All people have to do is ask if they want something modeled.

I've found my niche for now in the Fallout 3 community. I am working on dozen models at the moment so I really don't need more but I'm always taking requests.
