as you can see it does need a lot of work and sorry about the lag
screenshots:
fp

3p

very nice, though it looks like you need to change some of the smoothing groups. And I am assuming from what I see there you are still needing fp and 3p anims as well as direction and clip detail decals

Scale up the fp model.

AR looks horrible. make your own texture for god sake! current is too dark and not yours! you fail.

i have an actual reach AR texture if u want

yeah.............. thanks. any ways im unwrapping it to reach textures

just got back from town when i posted that lmao. but infact there is still a BIT of crit there ;) which is in bold.

K I will try make bitmaps

Yes. Yes it does.

Edit: Hunters post disappeared...

Well for just messin around, I think I'm done. Maybe try and animate and get ingame but meh we'll see. Got to learn animations first.

Wireframe without texture pls.

Heyy guys im currently working on my first gun model NOT using Gmax i will post proggies..

looks decent enough though I'm not fond of whatever the hell's going on with the grip tape.. I'd say paint it to make it look like the light source is coming from above. right now it looks like balls. the edges on the front of the grip looks a bit sharp, too.

add a hole in the hammer?

Low poly. Nothing extra needed.

plz make the grip bigger. looks so uneven to the gun

lol
Yeah I'm not so fond of that eiother, I may just do a rough grip on it like I see a few of them have. As far as a hole in the hammer... we'll see, I am trying to go for detail with minimal polies but I may try it and if I like it, we'll go from there.

Are you from MN? cuz you spelled Minneapolis wrong.

oops. XD
Easy fix though, the texture is still in it's layered form. Gonna have to redo the multi though

are you from MN though?

what

lol no. I saw that on a couple real ones in google images so I figured well I guess perhaps they are made there or at least one model is.

@ HaloIsAHorribleGane

He knows that I would rather focus on BSP polies being in maps rather than having weapons with more polies than absolutely needed. Sure it may look cool and all, but it isn't necessarily needed. still not sure If I will be doing it though. I am considering it. I need to first decide if I will be taking this much further anyway. If I do, I want to try animating myself so I will be looking at some rigging, origin, and animating tutorials since I have never done FP animating and would like to try my hand at it.


also, to whoever said something about the handle, besides the piss poor looking grip, I am not sure what needs to be changed about the size. Granted I know some deagles are taller in the handle and if you notice my handle is more on an angle than others. But can you be more specific on what needs to be done here?
Also about the angle, I sort of like it that way because it is sort of like a crossover look between something like an m9 and the deagle. I don't really go for full replication when I make... anything really. What's the point in making something that has been made a million times or can be ripped from other games.

update on the ar wih reach bitmaps.the white stuff near the bottom of the mag looks retarded but is meant to be there because its in the bitmap

When will my sniper be unwrapped?

I thought Spartan 279 said to you I couldn't because of the uvws were like the sniper facing each other and merged at the barrel like a mirror.I'm gonna try again when I finish the AR.I have done a lot more to the AR now since my post before so it's nearly done.sorry.I will try again though

alright

Was a little bored whilst watching Burn Notice today.

flash bang gurnade :D

yeah, I am thinking of making this an actual weapon maybe rather than grenade much like the bubble shield and having it an automatic pickup.
In that topic where I asked about grenades having their own animations for throw, I think I may just forego that and have every grenade just be a weapon. Then I don't have to worry about it. Also, it's more like CoD then where you only get to hold one at a time.

Weapon I started working on last night. It's still kind of simple but I just wanted to get some opinions and figure out where I need to go from here.

The original concept for the model was to base the lower receiver and stock from the Reach sniper rifle, and the upper receiver and barrel from the PTRS/SKS. I have not figured out a name yet, for now I'm just calling it the DG-9.

boxxy rifle is boxxy.

other then that it's ok-ish except for the polygons. Also might wanna reduce sides on the barrel and gas tube(why is that there anyway) and please show poly and tri counts.

Stop. N-Gons everywhere, objects have too many sides.

Cut in the edges, faces should not have more than 4 sides, yours have like 20...

This was my first time using this method of modeling so I'm not sure if that's the reason or not. Also, I've never really had any proper instruction on using 3ds(or any modeling program) so I never learned any of the techniques to avoid/remove N-gons.

Neither did I. N-Gon's are basically faces with more than 4 sides. Use the cut tool to cut in edges to connect all of the verts so that you have full control over the triangles. Otherwise smoothing errors can occur.

Watch some tutorials.

I usually hit the tess button and then go and remove unneeded tries that are made.

convert to patch then back to mesh/poly, would be easier.
