Description
So, back on the 3D modelling game after a little while, and decided to revive a past project, the M-56 SMG of the UNMC. The original one i made probbaly over a year ago now, when i was first really getting into 3d stuff, so it was a welcome challenge to figure out how to re-make it and give it the "new" Contention style. I tried to keep some of the original silhouette in this new model, as well as some of the original details and such, but in the end i basically ended up redesigning the entire weapon from scratch which i think turned out for the best. The gun now looks much MUCH more sleek, curved, artsy, completely fitting with the UNMC weapon style. Its got a lot more detail, fine tuned additions and body shapes. For example, i experimented a lot with rounding out faces for this model, as you can see on the cheek rest and upper receiver, much more interesting than a simple flat surface. I also wanted to make sure i made the SMG look strong and sturdy as well, it fires .45 caliber rounds and needed to LOOK like it could actually fires .45 caliber rounds, which i think i pulled off fairly well. I'd certainly want to carry this if i was fighting 7 foot tall, armored, human hating life forms. Luckily, nobody here will have to do that and we'll just leave it to the guys (and girls) in the Contention book.

I'm going to revisit this model soon and maybe make some additions to create a "stealth" version of the M-56 used by black ops teams and special forces in the UNMC, which the weapon was originally mad efor in the first place. I'm thinking a suppressor, optical sight, and maybe laser attachments.
