After a month of focusing on AR’s and pistols we’re back on the SMG bandwagon with work beginning on our latest diddy. Bonus points if anyone can guess what this is without looking at the file name

Coming along nicely here… In case you can’t guess from this, the next SMG on the list is the PP-19 Bizon

Wow. I FEEL LIKE I CAN TAKE ON THE WHOLE EMPIRE BY MYSELF.
My go-to choice for SMG in CS:GO …Quite impressive (in CS:GO, who knows in real life lOL). Funny cartridge but quick reload.
What about MP5? 
You are definitely not the first person to request the MP5. You’ll be happy to know that we have bumped up the MP5 and will be prioritizing it over the other guns
The MP7a1 is now available in the “One of Each” 3 Pack! Buy in bulk, save some cash! MP7a1 XM8, and M9 Pistol all for a reduced price. Each comes with the Standards: 3 LODs, 4K PBR Textures, 5 animations, and a free set of rigged arms to go with 'em!

The Bizon is coming along slowly but surely here, looking forward to getting this guy polished and finished

Huzzah, our low poly is finished, minus the smoothing groups as you can see. Can’t wait to show the finished product shortly and get this gun up on the marketplace

That was released last week.
Yes well, we forgot to post it up for those following this thread The PP-19 is on its way next, but no ETA on launch date. It will likely also be a part of a 3 pack consisting of the Micro-Uzi, PP-19, MP7A1, for those who are planning some serious SMG antics.
So Ive noticed after using the AKs74u after awhile that it has some really bad smoothing errors on the receiver.
What modifications have you made to the material? Another possibility is that you’ve loaded in the wrong lod. This is what it looks like on our end
I haven’t done anything to the model. But it appears that it is stuck at LOD 2, not matter how close it is to the camera.
That’s what we figured over here as well, well try to replicate this on our end although this isn’t the behavior we see so anything you can tell us regarding your scene setup woudl be great… Are you pulling the AK from the stand alone pack or one of the combo packs?
Standalone pack. I think it has something to do with render distance, since that would make sense.
Did you scale the weapons up? If they are scaled in the engine that could cause the LOD system to not work as desired
@Shirk - One last thing to note, your above images are of an Assault rifle so if this issue persists can you make sure to post it in the Assault Rifle thread as this is only for SMG’s. Was the issue caused by you scaling the weapon up UE4’s LOD system acting up?
In other news the PP19 is all polished up and off to epic for their approval

Sorry for not responding, it was actually an issue of the editor defaulting the view distance to low, so it would never render LOD0. Bizon is looking great too!
Thanks Shirk, glad to see the problem is fixed(and that it was Epic’s fault). Here’s another shot of the PP-19
So the word on the street is that you guys are hungry for a truly AAA quality, fully animated MP5? Well look what just crossed my desk today, it’s not finished, some perfecting to do still but the high poly is coming along nicely:
