Hi, I’m currently working on a German Maschinengewehr 42(MG 42) and I decided to post some WIP images to stop me from procrastinating. I’m working on this project in my spare time so I wont be able to work on it every day, but I’ll try to keep a steady income of updates^^
The machine gun was designed in Nazi Germany and was used by the Wermacht during WW2. The MG 42 had one of the highest rate of fire of any singe-barreled man portable machine gun, it could fire between 1200 and 1500 rounds per minute(twice the rate of the Vickers and Browning machine guns).
Here are a few WIP images, tell me if you want me to post images showing close ups of the topology etc. Comments and criticism is appreciated:)
I’m no weapon expert, but I do recognize a MG 42 when I see one. Looks like it’s shaping up very nicely, I suppose you are going to texture this too? Also, out of curiosity, what’s the polycount so far? It looks pretty detailed
Thanks:)
It’s still a WIP, lots of details missing, but thanks for reminding me of the missing bits^^ There is also many different versions of the parts, even tho they are on the same model, for example the muzzle part:
Thanks for the comments:)
macktruck6666: Thanks for the duplivert suggestion, it will definitely come in handy when I’m going to render the ammo chain^^
Your attention to detail is making for an excellent model. The ammo belt is awesome.
It would be interesting to see somemore wireframe renders to see how you used those 380k verts.
