WIP: Stuff you are working on 2!

[Clawhammer]

It's also properly mounted as would be on a 16A1-16A2 configuration. Call of Duty: Black Ops had an M16A1 with a removable carrying handle. WTF?

Call of duty black ops has Weapons with FLIR Scopes so iam not sure if its 100% correct what they are showing

Laqueesha - Cod: Black ops is big fail if you look at weapons - that thing made me very angry lol

Max - very nice work there , only the mag is too dirty from the sand imho

Oh, is it sand that does that? I have no idea. These are some reference images I used for mags with the matte finish wearing off:

I wanted this rifle to look old because it is a Vietnam war era design, in contrast to the m16a2 which wasn't even in service yet in CWR's 1985... also, I wanted to play with materials blending into other materials. I'll consider revising the worn paint in the future.

Thanks for the images. I just wanted to point out that that second image is not an actual firearm. It is a good model, but it is not perfectly accurate in form or texture.

I think the magazine looked just fine.

protip:when you find reference pictures of either worn out and clean equipment, always use the clean one in the absence of an intermediate.

I'm not sure that I agree in this case. There is no shortage of reference for this rifle, others like it, or magazines both USGI or aftermarket. For this piece, as it is a vietnam war era rifle being used in 1985, and it's on the verge of being phased out at that time, I wanted it to look like it has seen 15 years of hard use. Moreover, it's a weapon for the BlackOps and for vehicle crews, so I wanted it to look like it's seen harsh environments and/or like it's been rattling around in a vehicle for 10 years. The magazine itself is slightly more beat up than the most beat up reference that I found, but I like the effect. It was definitely an experiment in how to render paint wearing off to an undercoat to bare metal.

I think a better protip would be to have a clear concept on the look of your model, and to find lots of good reference with those goals in mind.

these are some screenshots of the upcoming OA version of my Uruzgan map.
i had a long break because i had some issues keeping me from continuing. now that everything (for now) is sorted i started placing objects. the plants are basicly done but still need detailing in some areas.
i'm going for a more golden sand and overall more saturated look than Takistan.
