How do,

Started this earler about an hour ago, I've only got the wood done at the moment and will work on the metal soon. I may change the orgins on it as well.

Features:

512x512 metal textures
1024x256 Wood texture

CC is encouragd please

and from hlmv, showing reload and idle anims...

Looks great so far :eek:

That wood is extremely beautiful, but just isn't my color. :(

Stick with it though, there's already two brown G43 that I know.

nice :D

Nice wood :D

the wood loks lovely! keep up the good work

Love the wood, hope the meatal comes out as nice.... how about a strap?

omg brut noooo! dont make me choose between this g43 and slinters :eek:

Anyways, wood looks very nice, the different colour is...different, in a good way

hmm, how bout a little variation....i did a few re-colours and generated 2 new colours...one is a more orangy colour like the default k43, the other is a darker brown colour and theres the one with the wood that i already have on it.
Wasn't around much yesterday to work on this but i managed to start the metal...it looks a lil clean to me at the mo but i might put a few dents/scratches in but if you people like it the way it is i'll leave it.
Well anyway, heres some pics of the metal and re-colours:)

Wow! :eek:

Great work mate, please release all of them. K43 is becoming my new favourite rifle for Axis so this is great!

wow, that middle one is so damn sexy!

i like i like :) :)

look'n good :D

i love the dark wood variation

Don't forget the strap :)

Yay Strap!

Looks great, as usual :rolleyes:

Its going to be a damn hard choice, but for now I'm going for the first version (left).

well, just finished the first metal mesh, i had some problems with my graphics card so that caused a few problems. anyway heres some pics...

I like that last pic that shows the variations in color. What I would really like to see is much less contrast in the wood grain and a lighter reddish brown color.

Great stuff, i love 'em!

WoW Man Sweet!!! :eek:

getting there...

I don't see what you mean by the 'stone' thing, it just gives the impression of more detail imo =/

Ahhh those shots are looking nice.

alot of k43 pics ive seen have a rough stoney (if u like) looking metal

hmm ok...well i fixed those stoney areas, made them less grainey and more shiney kind of...what do u think of this?

I think the metal would look a lot more like metal if the highlights were stronger. Look at a piece of metal and see how much of a highlight it puts on it. It's not just a subtle hint of light.

I've attached an image to kind of show you what I mean. Which one looks more like metal?

Just some constructive criticism.

fair enough dill, but you also have to consider the type of metal, different types refelct differently. but i am taking in your cc and its helping, thankyou:) how does this look...

http://www.2and2.net/Uploads/Images/metalfix2.jpg

Now THAT looks good! :D

This is definately the best looking G43 I've seen. That's much much better. Personally, I'd put a bit more on the breach area, but other than that it's great. Nice work! :)

thanks for the help dill, your a champ, and ill remeber it for future skins:)

well heres 99% complete pics...its missing a few screws which ill add later than its complete....
