[Hex] Walther P22/P99 - Polyloop

rickei · 27th February 2008, 15:52

Just for fun.
Walter P22 or P99 (same gun, one is a.22 and the other 9mm)

Here is the upper receiver.

Looks good, if you have Shaders Plus fom DCG it would help to use Bevel to place tiny chamfers on the edges to pick up highlights.

I have a few of Eric's plug ins but not Shaders Plus. This is the first time I've really needed it. I'm sure I'll pick it up in the next few days though.

Nice start to the modeling.

Eric's plugs are great, and I think you'll like shaders plus.

I didn't have much time today. Maybe tonight

I started on the lower assembly... here is my progress.
not sure how this is going to turn out, because I'm just doing it by eye... no measuring

I think the grip is going to be tough for my limited skills.

and here is a photo of the real thing

that's looking nice, and yeah the handle might be a challenge, but the way your going, you'll knock it out in no time.
good luck

Impressive! Any clues how you got started (which shape)?
Just curious how you pros start out and develop the models.

Jacqueline,

hopefully this will help

just simple shapes, then extrude and bridge and weld. thats how I model most everything.

rickei · 3rd March 2008, 01:11

little update.
still got a lotta work to do

rickei · 5th March 2008, 01:43

I think I got the grip done.

3webjam · 12th March 2008, 15:55

Thanks for explaining! Need to play more with the Bridge and Weld tools.

Keep on the good work!

Jacqueline

Looking at the reference image in your grab, I'm not sure you've got it quite right. I've circled the bit in this pic I found on the web.

There looks to be a ridge on the bottom of the grip that is not there on your model.

Otherwise, good stuff. Keep us updated.

rickei · 12th March 2008, 20:45

You're right Tony,

I've had to stop with this until I get my pistols back... should be this weekend.
I'm having some modifications made.

I'll look forward to an update next week
