My first serious attempt at trying to make a gun for a game. What makes it look so shit?

the texturing is atrocious, these white spots make no sense, you can see the seams
otherwise, it depends on the style of the game, if the flat color, max roughness is what you're going for I think it's fine

the bolt, trigger guard, and the stock need more wear and tear

Throw that bitch into substance. Or if you are going for a stylized vibe just try adding a rap or something to the stock, just start adding a bunch of detail so you have something to keep your eyes occupied to not nitpick the gun.

The model itself looks quite decent. Well done. The problem is the texturework. It looks like dogshit because you didn't use reference images.
The wood on the stock for example is oriented the wrong way. The scratches are too large.You should learn about the various texture maps like diffuse, bumpmaps, specular maps. You should be able to make something great only with those three.

Hey anon, a few things:

1. The axis of the bolt and the muzzle don't line up. In a Kar98k, there's a straight line (the path of the bullet) that goes from the front of the bolt to the muzzle. On yours, it's offset, so it looks off.

2. In front of the sight ladder, the top bit there should be wood (use the same brownish texture you have elsewhere, unless you're going for a bad repair look, which would be rare).

3. That wood piece from (2) should extend slightly past the metal ring in front of the sight ladder.

4. That wood piece from (2) should only begin its taper after about 1/2 its length.

5. You're missing a bolt under the breech (I think).

6. The trigger guard needs to be about half as thick as you have it.

7. The stock is missing the slot in front of that metal disk (which should have a hole in it too, iirc). The slot would be where a sling would go.

8. The butt of the rifle should be slightly concave, to fit the shooter's shoulder. It should also be more vertical than you have it.

9. The transition from the stock to the pistol-ish grip is not well-defined enough. Check some more reference pictures.

A couple more things:

10. The trigger assembly should be moved back a little bit closer to the grip.

11. Starting out, for your textures, don't try to do any wear. Pretend it's just out of the factory. Then, look at some videos of operation and look for where metal moves together and where wear might actually occur. Like, there should be no real wear around the barrel (because anybody using that rifle is going to make sure not to bang it on things).

Good first serious attempt! It's just an example of how a bunch of little things can combine to make a solid effort feel "off".

texturing is bad. Looks like ur uv are fucked up also

13. Further looking in 3D...the whole body is too thick compared to the barrel, and the shape is wrong. See here for much better reference material:

14. I *think* you might also have the overall length a touch too long. The k in 98k stands for "karabiner"...a shorter rifle.

15. You are missing the bolt release on the left side of the bolt holder. In operation, you pull that and work the bolt backwards to remove the bolt for cleaning.

The texture looks like a turd instead of wood

the grain of the wood is 90° to what it should be.
a lotof your wear marks on the metal are illogical.
metal wears on the corners first.

Did you study where the woodgrain's direction is for the best appeal?

Jeez.

yeah, UV texturing is so fucking ancient. just learn bump-mapping your materials or use a free material painter to paint textures to give it a more naturalistic look.

btw your gun is very low-poly too. take the time of day to watch other people model guns and you can see how much more detail you can actually add there in a way that it makes sense. you want to use some bevels everywhere where there's hard edges & smooth them out.

A nice easy one could be a MAC-10. Super easy to do low-poly, and a great chance to practice detail work (beveling, etc.)

I think it looks decent but the thing allot of games use now a days is lighting in the past that meant shading and texture images Now, with better lighting sources that means textured surfaces made by high res images or hand detailed patterns with dots

The model is shaped as a texture itself in some games but it takes up allot of space
