Hi there! I just want to take part in this challenge. So i decide to make M249 SAW. In my mind i want to modeling it in fusion 360, then i'll do retop maybe it'll be 3ds max or topogun (i don't make a decision yet). Will bake in marmoset and texturing in substance painter. Also i have plan to made some environment for my shot, like this rifle on the shooting range... maybe if i'll have a lot of time i'll sculpt a few soldier to put them into scene... so for the first i collected references and put it into my pureref desk. Lets get it started!
