Here's a first ingame test of the Gauss rifle:

Nice



alot of the model is temporary, especially the sights and the thing between the two barrels. I need to find a better reference for that since i cant tell what it is but i think its another bar for the slider. Its a Mossberg 500 btw and I thought my smoot was pretty good. every polygon has a smoothing group ID.

I see it now! The animation should really be toned down or removed.

some changes. Stock needs work so yeah i already know that.

If your wondering why hunter or anyone else why im not rendering the wire frame yet its because im still optimizing polys and fixing some ngons :p.

Barrel part is really looking good. Don't forget to post a wireframe before Hunter rages.

thanks

the mesh is almost done, i think, and than i will start optimizing

EDIT: Completed mesh now for optimizing and fixing wireframe.

ok I will fix that
In the picture of the close up i fixed up the chamfered vertices
EDIT:
INB4 cheddars your wireframe sucks

Yeah i know ihavnt optimized it yet

Inb4 cheddars you used multiple meshes in your model for stuff you could model in

yeah my modeling skills arnt that great

inb4 your poly distrubution sucks

yeah it does and ill fix this

Inb4 go die in a hole pl0x

That shotgun model actually looks quite nice, so far.

well then they have no clue what he is on about. Multiple elements/objects are a good thing.

Alright thanks. I'll finish everything this afternoon. Does this mean I have improved a bit? lol

Not bad. Not too bad tbh Lolololilol
I see you mixed some modeling methods, and that shows you're starting to know What you're doing

Harsh tiem nao :
The handle/back is obviously too wide, but for this you can just move the object near the symmetry plane, it would also give a better feel of the borders of the handle piece.
The shoulder rest (you understand me.) could use a lot more depth, because it actually looks body to me. You could give that depth by cutting carefuly about triangulation, or you can also cut-détach-move-bridge to get nice insets... but it's better to give that depth at the early beginning just by moving the height of the polies.

The front grip seems hard to use too...

But if you want to port it, no one will care about What I mentionned, so start unwrapping ! :D

Good model.

The model is looking quite nice actually, you need some work in some areas, but for the most part it is looking really good..

I don't know if you are very familiar with the weapon, but I have sold several of these shotguns and I can tell you that the stock needs serious work, and your trigger is too wide (just the trigger, not the trigger gaurd)

also, most 500s have only a little ball bearing looking thing for a front site (it litterally looks like someone glued a BB to the end of the barrel) only reletively high-end shotguns have anything more elaberate then this (there are some exceptions).

If you're looking to make the entire gun look really nice, the stock is pretty bad. Not horrible by any means, but it's bad to where it's just blocky. Definitely check some Shotgun references and notice how the stock is designed in nearly every viable shotgun.

You dont need to model in the barrel "hole". Cap that end as your wasting a lot of triangles there. You have alot of edges that can be welded together, for example on the barrel there are 4 edges that connect something below.

You also have a lot of edges that don't do much tbf. It is also a rather basic design with not much detail to add onto, so there isn't really much that can bee critted on.

exported model converted into editable mesh since my render screwed up.

fixed the stock and will render in a sec

Nice models
Been working on the halo 3 ar
comments please

Me neither

Halo 3 stuff is so over used now. Time to start with something new.

For starters its usng os and has no fake bumps,
Better multi

Wait, if its using OS then why do you not have normals on it? Because at the moment it looks pretty gross, especially the stock closest to the screen.

And the low res texture makes it look no better than a gun from a mid 90's shooter

on the brighter side :p



anyone know what this just from the picture. That way i cant tell if its atleast ok lol.

also:

Actually you can tell that it IS using fakebumps. Not good since he can use OS instead for normals. Terrible shaders though.

Just found out that was the non os one

I was just thinking if we could actually get started on ripping ODST and Reach, but, if we HAVE to rip 4, that's alright.

How about rip nothing..

This. Id only rip now for model references.

That's still pointless though, you just need images. If you use a model as a reference its pointless.

Ok now its with os

That looks a hell of a lot better! Now keep messing with it.

@hunter ok.

lots of triangle errors to fix and is boxy but i im doing fine for now. I will show the wire frame when im done optimizing

EDIT: newer image

or rip everything

Better yet, do whichever you enjoy more.

let me rephrase, rip everything and make it all look GOOD

consider this constructive critiscism to FMT
