Simple 3D weapon models
Sorry if this isn't the kind of thing intended for this forum, but I've been messing around with some very basic 3D modeling - just for some fun!
I started with a AK74M first of all, but part way through had a disaster with my hard drive and lost the file! This is as far as I got (colours were just for reference):-
SO - I have just started again, but this time I thought I would start with a slightly different model - the shorty AK74U. Just done the flash hider and the front sight so far...
Anyway - if this is at all of any interest to anyone I will post up my progress! (?)
Cheers - Ranger

Nice Models man!
Welcome back!
And what program do you use?
Welcome back!
And what program do you use?
The armaments which thunderstrike the walls
And monarchs tremble in their capitals.
The oak leviathans, whose huge ribs make
Of lord of thee, and arbiter of war;
Alike the Armada's pride, or spoils of Trafalgar.

Re: Simple 3D weapon models
Hello all! Thanks or the positive feedback...
I use Google SketchUp 6 - mainly because it's free, and because I usually use it for architectural models.
And I thought it might be a good idea to show you what the original on which the model is based - this is my airsoft electric gun (yes - sad to say I spend the occasional weekend playing at soldiers! LOL)...

Re: Simple 3D weapon models
Hi Devious - I could have done it that way, but as I had the actual gun at hand I just used the good old school ruler! LOLDevious wrote:Were you using an image as a guide ti help you wit the details?
I will probably import the photo when I get a bit more done just to check overall proportions and make sure I haven't gone wrong anywhere...
I did use the photo 'tracing' technique for this model though:
The only problem I have with SketchUp is that it doesn't have it's own render engine - you have to use third party renders. The best I have gotten out of it so far is this (which is why I am toying with the idea of trying out something like Blender or Cheetah3D):-
Re: Simple 3D weapon models
Blender renders things quite well, but I am not sure if it can take sktechup models.

Nah, that's quite alright. I used to have a cap gun that looked like a sniper rifle! It was awesome! I'm saving up for an airsoft M4.[BIG] Ranger wrote:(yes - sad to say I spend the occasional weekend playing at soldiers! LOL)...
I use sketchup too!

I do believe that Ranger is much older then you Seafire, seeing by his join date.

Re: Simple 3D weapon models
I've looked at the Blender web site a couple of time and it does look impressive. Sketchup can output in standard OBJ and 3DS files, so I guess if Blender can handle those I could import them into it and try a render.Devious wrote:Blender renders things quite well, but I am not sure if it can take sktechup models.
Yes........I am embarrassed to say that at my age - 47 - I am still running around playing with toy guns.Devious wrote:I do believe that Ranger is much older then you Seafire, seeing by his join date.
I should know better - and my teenage daughters just shake their heads at me!

Re: Simple 3D weapon models
I'm gonna take a guess and say that's a full metal, rechargeable battery operated, AEG that gets around 4 rounds a second, and maybe 410 fps....[BIG] Ranger wrote:Hello all! Thanks or the positive feedback...

I have a full metal A4 It lights people up!
I <3 it.
And good job with the models, they look good.
I never really got the hang of sketchup, and I'm just now getting the hang of blender...
Tho I still suck at it
That pistol looks 1337.

Sketchup bugs me.

Re: Simple 3D weapon models
Yeah - SketchUp is a very idiosyncratic piece of software - until you realize that it was really designed for architects to use! I mainly do buildings (for maps) so branching out into more organic or mechanical shaped models really tests the tools this program has...
I managed to get some time to myself this afternoon to do a bit more to my model - it's very slow going as I have to steal time between other projects.
I am now about ready to start on the wooden fore grip and then it's onto the receiver.

Re: Simple 3D weapon models
Blender is mainly for 3D artists but it has way more options then sketchup.
You really should try it.
PS: It can open OBJ models.
