tucker933.com? wait what? I still want to know what my ship is doing there.
And I was talking about your "friend" or did you finally remove those pictures?


Ummm......


Here's a list:

Too wide.
No detail.
No wireframe.


Always post a wireframe.

I recommend importing a model for reference.

That's about all I see right now but I am sure there is more.

And for plane modelling here is a tut.

It isn't exactly about weapons but the concept is the same.

cereal-killer.tucker933.com is my subdomain for tucker933.com; Tucker, who is my friend, owns the server and gave me a subdomain for online file storage. I'm not sure how much better I can explain that.

IMO, tessallating and extruding for detail. Then move verts around. Veteran modelers here will probably disagree, but that seems like it would work. I've only tried that with bsp modeling, but I'd like to see how it'd go with weapons.

Any modeler can tell you that tessellation is not a good idea. Try cut instead?

Just a quick 10 min model. Mostly just proof of concept, but I might try to get a good usable model out of it if have the time.

It's useful for newbies at bsp modeling. ( me )': )

Reach inspired. Needs a lot of optimization textures and animations.

9.6k tris.

Barrel should be smaller, and make sure you smooth out the stock and handle.

...I like. O.O

9,000 triangles? I'd like to see the wireframe on this because something like this shouldnt exceed maybe 3-4k.

Dont really know how tyo make good wires

didnt model in 3ds (i know im a noob stfu)
and now its like 3k

Just duplicate your model, and apply the "Push" modifier. Fiddle around with the value until the wireframe model is just a little bit bigger than the real model. Then go to the material editor, and apply a new material to the Pushed model. This new material should have the "Wire" checkbox turned on. And that's it, perfect wireframe.

1. Select your model.
2. Ctrl + V - Create copy.
3. Push modifier, value: 0.01
4. Give the duplicated objects a black material, and set the material to wire (checkbox).

Don't unselect the duplicated objects are it's a pain to select them again to delete. Note that the triangle count will double as you have just duplicated everything, so delete the copies before getting triangle counts.

What?

what did you use?

"Some Gears of wars ennemies just use around 5000-6000 polygons
and they look reaaly deatailld in game with use of normal maps "

quote from a guy when looking up images

Meh. Needs work.

Ya man talking down on something and not being specific sure makes me look cool.

its a great hi poly model but if you plan on bringing it in game then leave the details to textures

modeling something like this you prolly already know

Because clearly I intended to leave the detail work to the textures.

beautiful :')

you intend to make an tag outta this?

yeh broz hez tots gun explort 2,000,000 polyz, 'cause hez gawt a fracking supah cumputer. Now, on a more serious note: It looks good, minus that clipping in the front (I'm probably the only one who can see it.).
Now, back on a less seriously note: HAI GUIZ, I R MAED NUW GUNZ, CHECK 'ER OWT!

HOW DUZ IT LOOK? I R THINKZ IT RLY GUD, WUT ABOUT U GUIZ? OH MI GAWDZ I FORGOT TEH END OF TEH IMG TAG >.<

Sincerely,

Amazingcuzimnot

P.S. please don't ban meh, Dennis, 'twas just joking, and I did throw some valid criticism in there, right?

I think there's only about 5 people here that really understand the purpose of subdivision modelling.

For a person relatively new to the weapon animation scene, how is this?

Please take off the motion blur, you aren't quite at teh_lag's level yet, so we can't assume that whatever's being blurred is actually really good under there. Like a potentially unattractive girl with a whole make-up kit applied to her face to the extent where you can't get a decent rating on her.

But from what I can make out, the origins need some work, as it seems to be tilted too far to the right. The thumb should be around the gun, not awkwardly placed with the rest of the fingers. Ready is... workable, except for the clipping with the hand holding the gun. Firing is okay. Reload seems a little robotic during the mag-out and the return to origin. Try to add a few more rotation points from point A to point B. Oh, and make it point A to point B to point C, etc. (not sure if I'm making sense here, but if done right, it'll look much better). Grenade throw is too jerky, and the angle of approach as the hand moves into the screen seems too far to the left.

SUCKS INORITE!

Anyway, after 4 (wow, 5 months TODAY now actually) months of animating. I have concluded that FP Animation is a dead end for me since I ave nothing to show for someone of 5 months practice, so with hence forth

I currently resign from FP Animating (publicly at least) (for now) as I suck, even though i had 5 months practice and Ideas and etc.

(also my first bolt pull)
Anyway, FP Animating, I bid you adeu.

The animation is clearly too robotic. See my "point A to point B to point C etc rotation" advice above.

No reason to give up. But if you really want to quit, I won't don some shining white armor and block the exit with falsely encouraging protests. But please remind me, outside of these animations, what else have you done? I get you mixed up with all the other Spartans/Spartins/Sergeant1337s around here.

Motion blur was just to make it look a bit nicer, it's for my 3D graphic design class, so i had to make it look good.
Thanks for the crit though, i'll definitely work on it tonight, probably add an actual bolt pull.
Also this is done on blender, but i under stand the idea of point a-b-c thing.
Will post results tomorrow.

Me? Spartan-279.
Spent 3 months experimentation with sapien, joined the forum, tried my hand a campaign before failing on the bsp modeling (out of ideas for a city bsp) than spent 5 months learning to animate and use 3ds and failing at animating and deciding to quit fp, will stil go back o be doing like CGI movies and whatevs.

It really isn't bad at all, but the movements are quite intriguing. Are you using Max or another program?

Looks good Dee. I see you also have Max 2012 wit the retarded shading on smooth edges. :P

Also, at posts before this, can't be bothered to quote. But why are people retards and try to act smart and say LEAVE DETAILS TO TEXTURES, when it is rather obvious this is a highpoly model...

I guess they just hare about stuff getting ingame, and I don't exactly blame them.
