Dragunov SVD in 3D

[RomanS]

Well finally after I got some free time, I decided to make an SVD

Since i have 2 on my table here at home, I thought why not give it a try.

So I will be posting progress as I go.

Modeling was pretty hard. My friend who is one hell of a modeler was helping me with a butstock and a few other parts.
Im not an organic modeler, so I needed help. But im texturing the whole thing myself, and finishing the rest of the model.

So here is the progress so far

My friend modeled the buttstock with the cheek rest, and I modeled the reciever as he was finishing it up

started texturing the buttstock
THIS THING TOOK A WHILE, and some sweat.

All the highlights are done withing the engine, so as you move the rifle or the light around it, you will see the highlights move around shiny surfaces.

More to come soon

That is some of the best 3D Modeling i've ever seen.

So are you still moving to Seattle? If so, where are you gonna work at?

[Elemental666]

wow thats amazing man,thanks for sharing.

Looking at Valve

Thats cool.......and I see a Xbox360 controller on your desk...eh?

[RECON DOC]

Dude, that is very cool, really excelent work. I wish that I could manipulate a computer like that, it would make designing and engineering my furniture sooo much easier. I'm still using a f*cking drafting table, totally goddamned stone age. I cant wait to see your finished product.

Just out of curiosity, what program do you use?

[Adumb]

****in kick ass! woot

[JQ24]

Damn that's awesome! Excellent job! RomanS strong!!1!1! :) So what will you be doing with that 3D model?

[daily666]

RomanS that's a kick ass job. I'm shocked about the quality of your work! woot.

Your 3D model is missing the optics yet, are you going to add it later?

[Mountain Man]

Damn fine job! How do you even get started with something like that. Amazing

[Snoshi]

Awesome :D!!!

[Saranof]

Damn, that's really darn good..

[Schizo]

Great stuff, Romka!

[scrybe]

Damn man, I'm always impressed with your work.

What do you use for the skinning? Photoshop? I don't see a stylus and pad anywhere, do you skin with a mouse?

[EasyC]

How do you get quality like that on the finished picture, it seems unbelievably lifelike.

[fmaster]

this is the worst 3D modeling i've ever seen

i mean, i cannot think this as a modeling but a photo... :grin:

[Lamer]

Looking at Valve
You'r one lucky bastard if you get the job. It's one the best dev groups in the world (they realy treat games as art) not mention they have their own publishing company giving them 100% freedom.

[Fargin]

It's a really nice kitchen table too, nice carpentry. :D

[D-gin]

Damn RomanS that's cool. :)

[Connor Oz]

I rather see that SVD get done.......:D

[thegman]

wow that does like pretty nice. what kind of programs do you use to model stuff?

[OMON]

Roman , can you make an OC-14 Groza? the one with longer barrel and post-type front handle

[pascalywood]

the textures look so realistic! nice job man!

[California Joe]

Romans work is always very impressive.

[ShotOver]

I am not amused. You must post photos of you standing on your head, in a vat of ice cream, wearing Cali Joes tarzan g-string using your computer, then I shall nod my head and say yes... impressed I am.

[RomanS]

quick update

finished the top cover, magazine, and started on the hand guards
The top cover was a pain in the butt to texture. Because it has a lot of smooth corners and parts. So matching UVs (texture coordinates) took me a day

thanks bro

the hardest to come is the scope!!!

[CSAR]

Wow, that's pretty damned cool! Best gun 3D model I've ever seen.

[Lucky Strike]

Wow, that's pretty damned cool! Best gun 3D model I've ever seen.

100% agreed. Hope one time i see this model in Game 2.

[Icarus1]

Wow, Roman. You got a serious talent with this stuff. Although I finished the University for Arts and Design a few years back, I never got into 3D modelling. But I am pretty good at hand drawing atleast.

[TacoDelRio]

That is f*cking insane. F*cking insane.

You could OWN Valve!

Great work Roman!

[Deftoner]

The texture work is excellent. Well done man!

I wish I could get my textures looking so good. What programs are you using?

[RomanS]

[V0rkutinetz]

Too f^%$ng cool man.
Cant wait to see the rest of the project.
AWESOME work brother.!!!!

[Jurpula]

i've seen better onep-) ....




Roman's AK :oops:

[PeterG]

Truly impressed! Incredible stuff.. woot

[StukaJr]

Move already so I can visit you in the summer months :D

[Stormy]

Impressive.

[Nebelwerfer.]

Fantastic work Roman...SVD Dragunov is one of my favorite rifles...

I just wanted to ask, what is your reference material besides that SVD on your desk? Any blueprints or something similar?

BTW, can you advise me a good 3DSM site to start with?

Thank you
I basically took the Dragunov i have, and made templates for it. Took careful photos with 200 mm lens from all the sides.
Reason I used 200mm lens was so I can avoid distortion of the lens. Anything lower, lets say at 35mm you would have bending corners. At 200mm i have a direct zoom on it.

I take a side shot of the buttstock, reciever/top cover, handguards, barrel. And basically take all the sides of the rifle. Than i make a modeling template out of the parts.

It takes a while to do all that hehehe.

A good site to start would be http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/sv_home.php

[Whitcomb]

Thats ****ing amazing man. I'd would love to have that talent.

[seventy6er]

Good job, Roman!

[kayaker]

muck fe!! Americas Army take note!! Will you re do their 203 or SPR next? ;)

[dacanadianbomb]

WOW
Absolutely beautiful!
That is truely astounding work Roman.
I would put money on your work will be in a large studio game some day.

[seventy6er]

Doesn't he already work for quite a large studio which published some succesfuls games?

[Jurpula]

He should make 3D models of our faces and hide them in the games:)
