^^It'd be really cool to have that in-game. Please do consider making a low poly version :)

:)

lol
how do you get the lighting like that in renders in 3DS max? as compared to my renders on that last page

Oh nice release it please. Just out of curiosity, how exactly do you make a low poly model from a hi-poly one? Do you do some sort of "downscaling" to the original one or do you make it from scratch?

Delete turbo-smooth from everything then remove un-needed detail. I will release when I find the time to modify afew parts to make a better bake, I would unwrap it quickly now but I need to chamfer afew edges so it bakes correctly.

Example origin:

*drools*

generally the low poly model is like... still a WIP and the high poly model is with all the details and everything done..

EDIT:
i'd really like the high poly version of that shotgun for my demo :D

and


...
every face in a model has a "normal" which is the angle perpendicular to the plane in 3 space that the face lies on. normals are used primarily to calculate lighting on faces which is why when you "flip" the normals in 3ds max, the angle is inversed and lighting is calculated from the other side. when you assign two faces the same smooth group, lighting will be calculated the same for all the angle between the face's normals. 3ds max i believe uses the Euclidian smoothing method (might be wrong i cant remember) to smooth the lighting on the faces so that they APPEAR to be seamless.

Oh sweet! You're actually going to finish this?! Love those models.

It was on the previous page because of the amount of talk about human weapons.

Actually I made it up myself, though it should work in real life without making noticeable modifications. No sketches, straight on the canvas. Yeah I know it's improper work etiquette. I'll try to add depth, also, nice model.

very nice indeed

Yes that's cool !
The model is very awesome ! You do it with only planes ?

I START all my models with planes, and I posted this ages ago why it seem everyone has only just seen it?

yes, he's just pro like that :P

Wasn't a low poly model also made and released? I remember someone saying they were working on it and they showed work, but I don't remember if it was ever finished or released.

Lowpoly is made, ive put a picture of it on this page, just not unwrapped it yet so ain't bothered to release.

hi all im back from ym dungeon of models...made this randomly, dunno if it suks or not ill leave that up to yall...about 1.5 tris. silencer and attachment are separate so u can remove em, slide hammer are separate...as well as clip and trigger...and a few floaters.

I like it. I'd definitely be inclined to animate it,

I made a pistol ^^



Hoo-ray for 5min models!

Modern pistols are short-barrel. Especially halo's pistols. Other than that, there are smoothing problems... and that it's not very detailed at all.
I personally don't like 5- or 15-min models.

Have you ever seen an M1911? Or the Glock 17-20's? They have longer barrels. And I know the smoothing isn't very good.

Also I will be detailing it. Later.

the m1911 is a pretty old gun buddy, modern yes, but still quite old....

m1911 was made in ww2 thats like 70 - 60 years ago

... Failure there man.

It was made in 1911. Hence the name. Simple math Einstein. 1911-2010=99. WWII was roughly fought in 1940-ish. Around then anyway.

70 years ago 1940 so

stfu...

also i want proof it wasnt made for ww2

World war 1 was at that time if i remember correct so i was close

skidrow congrats on making urself look like a jackars. next time, think b4 u type, adn research wat the hell ur talking about. some gun are named after the year(the 47 in ak 47 i think is 1947) but not all are.

Guess what? The M1911 was made in designed and made and issued in 1911. It said that on the Wiki page. Also I did think before I typed and I do know about the 1911 because I have asked several people who know about it and have found out various things about it.

So Yes I know what I am talking about.

World War 1:
28 July 1914 – 11 November 1918

The colt pistol was actually developed prior to 1911, and had been in production since the late 1800's. It was officially named the M1911 in the year 1911 when it was officially adopted by the United States Army as the new standard issue side arm....in 1911. The 1911's design began in the late 1800's as an attempt to create a self loading pistol. It went through a series of trials and tests in the years leading up to 1911 to prove it could be the new standard issue side arm. tl;dr 1911 originated before 1911. 1911 does not equal World War 2 or one for that matter.

Also did you even try when you made that? Gather some references and give it another go

"tl;dr"? What the heck is that supposed to mean?
