These screenshots below are a show case of my currently progress into the AAA asset for the winter modelling project. I chose to recreate an Alien pulse rifle from the alien movie series; using photographs, drawn schematics and a real prop, I think I have faithfully recreated the iconic weapon.
For the most part, the rifle wasn't too complicated, a lot of the casing for the gun is box-like and was quickly put together. The difficulty was the under-slung shotgun and also the trigger assembly, these two areas are made up of multiple pieces full of complex shapes. The grill for the heat shield at the front end was very time-consuming, this was made even-more-so because it is in fact asymmetrical, on the right side is a shell ejection port that proved trouble-some.
Though I am pleased with the outcome of my high-poly model, there are a few areas which could be improved. Firstly is the grip; though the overall shape is correct, it doesn't flow very well, it appears rough and too geometric when it is supposed to be smooth and more rounded.
The second is in a similar area to that of the previous; the rear of the trigger assemble has an odd curve that meets bottom of the receiver. I did the best I could with this, but it doesn't match what is on the real rifle very well.
