Project Reality Forums

Ahoy, I bring news from the land of modelling and texturing.

The IDF faction will primarily be using TAR-21, but some classes will use M4s. Because of this, we felt that we needed some new stuff so PR's M4s could better represent what the IDF use and so I set out on the quest to satisfy this need

Here is what I ended up with:





For those interested, these parts were made from high polygon models which I created so that the end result may be better resemble their real life counterparts.
(seen here is approximatly 700.000 triangles)


The models are build up of several layers of textures (or texture maps).
From left to right you will see the base model without any textures, a model with AO and normal map ("baked" from their high polygon counterparts), AO + normal + specular map, and lastly the final with normal + specular + diffuse (and alpha) maps.






Boom, headshot!


See ya on the forums and on the battlefield, Tom out!

looks hot

Pretty. i like

Nice! You decided not to go with the Colt Commando version I made, then?

Yea KP, we decided in the end to not use it

it looks win i cant wait for the IDF faction

The texture on that scope is incredible, I take my hat off to you sir .

Do those scopes get that many scratches real life

Good work

wow, that scope is amazing

Yes, your rifle gets beat up all to hell, the bluing wears off from use and ridiculous amount of scrubbing with CLP and an AP brush.

Infact the rifles should be skinned to almost look like that reflex sight.

Awesome
The only thing I'd change is make the stock and handguard a little less shiny to match the receiver a bit better. (Though I'm not sure if it's just the render and will look different once ingame)

Here is a real life example of the scratching: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/6139/1000xv.jpg

I have made a few less scratched up versions but this is the one the IDF MA's says looks closest to the real thing.

Yea you are probably right, I went for a hard plastic look, and I might have put a bit too much specular power on it, not worry though, it is a 5 sec fix.

So what kind of optic is that?

Muchos Greatos!

i love the damage on the scope but cant the rest of the M4 be scratched up?

this is the reason i'm trying to learn the HP to LP workflow looks so awesome.

good job

Theres a Commando in PSC faction

The Scope is called Mepro21, its a self illuminating[hence no battery] reflex sight made in Israel, its also on the export version of TAR-21[not ingame].
My own user experience with Mepro21..the dot is hard to see..specially in the night when you stand under a lamp and aim at the dark area..but its light weight and rarely ever breaks down.
Inside the IDF usually the "newer" soldiers get Mepro21 while the Veterns get MARS on their M4s..on the TAR-21 everyone get MARS.
Ingame none infantry classes like Engineer and Medic will be getting the M4..
P.S its a M4A1 - automatic AR15 !

Will the high polygon models have an effect on lag/stuttering? Nice looking models though.

Looks like a Red Dot Reflex Sight, maybe even Mini-Reflex.

EDIT: I know Trijicon make one that looks similar, in the RX series

EDIT: Just read that other post, sorry. Never heard of the Mepro 21, but yeah, looks pretty close to one of those,
