*clears dust of mantle shelf* Heres something to keep this place alive for a while, I've taken the default fg42, made the textures 512x512 and started skinning.
So far ive only done the wood, the handle and most of the clip, but thought id pist a pic anyway:).

C&C please...

Damn good m8 ! :D
I love your works bruta.

Give the wood some more dirt or a rougher look and it goes perfect !

yup, very nice looking. cant wait to get my hands on the final product.

lookin' good :cool:

Wow. Awesome work as usual.

i like it...
could u tell me how to make texes res from 256 to 512?

did a few hours today...Im absolutely buggered, im down to the last two meshes. Anyway *yawn* heres another update...G'nite everyone:) zzzzzzzzzzzzz

sweet dude

I'm lovin it (stealing MCDonalds commercials)

What a great metal !
Bruta i think you can work in modeling and skining... as a job, like many other guys here.

you really have a future!
I find it funny how the custom community does a job 10 times better than the devs, almost everywhere you look.

You should make an MG42 next.

Looks nice, but definately needs some dirt on that wood. And the metal looks brand new! :(

/me likes, clean or not :p

It needs high-res hands and it will be super!

I've said it before, but your skills are improving with every texture you do. Any time you're looking for something to skin, give me a shout, because I've got plenty of unfinished weapons awaiting a texture.

:eek:

ok, so a lots of u have requested more scratches and dirt and things, anyway I'm leaving that till last... I took yesterday off and had a holiday but ive got another update here...Its almost finished:)

OffT:
i would like to see the back of the weapon where the metal is bright gettinga higher poly count and a more rounded shape.


Say... how do i start skining ? and what program do you use?
do you "paint" it all or you use some photos or presets textures ?

lol paint...

Don't have MSN, i just got ICQ.
If you got ICQ my number is 145838481
If you don't have ICQ i will be greatful if you will explain to me a lil about skining, my Mail is ohad_gefen@yahoo.com or ogfn@mail.com

Cheers ;-)

dont have icq on here coz its a pain in the ass and my icq days were over a long time ago, but it seems that a'lot of people in here are still using so ill have to get it again:)

as for the FG, ive set a deadline for myself...(gotta get used to working wiv them) for christmas Day Eastern standard time:D

christmas:eek: :confused: what for? lol your like almost finished

ps you should make more wood like you used to (old enfield/"savingpvt.riyan"carbine);)

official release date:)...still 1 and a half full meshes to be completed yet.

as for that old wood, i saved over the texture and tried to do similar wood but just didnt look the same:(

:( ah, it was indeed....sexy

I like it alot...looks absolutely amazing.

I'd like to see what it will look like with dirtier wood and some scratches but if it turn out to bring down the skin I'd like to request perhaps a two version skin, one "clean" and one "used".

And I agree with whoever said it before you seem to become better and beter with each skin. To be honest I wasn't too impressed with some of your earlier work (not that I could do it better) but now you seem to have it down, you know how to make skins look really good.

Looks like Dillinger have to watch out :)

thanx everyone:) I was looking at my old work before and it is terrible some of it lol...ill try get this done for ya's asap

Uncle Brut has brought another update, it now has dirtier wood and i worked a bit more on the metal...

Looked great before... looking even better now :-)

The groves are way too fine. They’ll just blend together into a mess at the angel you normally view the gun from. It may not be historically accurate but it would certainly look better with coarser groves, so as they are defined and separate from a sharp angle.

that looks so good..do the mg-42 next!

omg sini D:

:( all i have to say is....i loved that one wood.

omg it looks so good on the default garand ty ty ty:D

dammit brutal....cod < dod and u know it....i spose u can take a break for a bit but u better be here when DoD2 hits the fan

hmmm I was thinking ahead of myself...I'll still have plenty of time for dod, so ignore that goodbye up there...:D im still here...plenty of stuff from me to come

massive skin hack

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

damn, son. the dod team needs to fire their skinner and recruit you. this takes that model to a whole new level.
