Haha here we go...

Nice gun btw.

Is it true that you model in subdivision surfaces for high poly? :o sounds a pain in the ass.

Using it to bake onto a Lowpoly model

Yes. Results are amazing.

Erm no sounds modern... I doubt there is a mainstream game that doesn't do that...

But we aren't mainstream game developers.

Looks great Doan.
There are a couple pinches that i can see, i dont know if that will affect the final product too badly though.

there are answers to pinching and such in this tut.

Irrelevant.

ok. When I get my 3ds max fixed I'll have ago at it.

What's subdivision surface modelling?

It's like turbosmooth, adding more polys to your mesh to make it more smoother and rounder. (correct me if I'm wrong)

Check here if you want to learn sub-d:

His videos are the best. He has some exclusive videos available through autodesk's website as well but you have to be a member to view them. They go into a few more examples with some extra techniques.

Amazing. 3ds Max or Maya ?

The statement was more, "this is the way it should be done" rather "than your opinion is wrong". If people want to learn game design, then they should learn the way assets are made, which is why I pointed out.

Your making an argument out off nothing, I did not insult him. This website makes me laugh how kids have to try and sound smart LOL!

kid above me makes me laugh how he attempts to aim a comment at me, when I don't even mod this game! LOL! :L

Although, it is funny that you would say that, as in reality modding a game can be professional developing. Right, artists create assets for games using concept art, or a form of design.

What do people on here do? Create assets for a game using given designs.

The people who create the assets professionally do what we do, but at a larger scale and more experienced and skilled level. Your point is flawed.

When you say professional developing, profession is something that someone is good at, and does as a job. That is all it means. Doesn't mean your some magical person.

Your profession is being an tw at, kabish?

Oh come on Hunter, you're view that people on here have to act like pro developers but on a smaller scale is complete gibberish. You know it, I know it, lolgrunts knows it, everyone on this forum knows it.

Paul.

I consider it professional to put your heart into the models and content that one uses to mod with the engine. Yeah, it may not be it's own game or it may not include making a profit, but for some it's a professional hobby (as in, they expect to do their best and put their best in at some point) and it's important to respect that.

It is because everyone here rips and never puts any imagination into making anything custom.
You should take a leaf from hunters book and model things that are unoriginal and 100% copied from someone elses work.
That is pro.

Stop. Post content instead of having these petty arguments.

Irony. Fueling an argument that already ended. Nice one!

Definitely will look at this.

Made this awhile back and forgot to post it, it's a tavor semiautomatic close range assault rifle. It i has a built in red dot holographic scope, making it as accurate as a sniper rifle. and i think i did pretty well on it


Wireframe

Looks nice, but is ngon galore... Also, actual renders would be nice, :).

1:What are ngons?


2:No that sight is right, i modeled it correctly according to the pictures i found of a tavor

3: how do i do an actual render?
Edited by grunt_eater on Dec 19, 2011 at 10:05 PM

So nGons are okay? the way masters made it sound it was something that required repair.

They're not required to fix, but they can cause UV and Rendering problems.


ALSO, Since when do you model that well?
For something made by you, I'm impressed.
It's really blocky though IMO, like expecially from the front its liek a bawx.

I KNOW RIGHT?!!! i was very impressed with this model. thanks for the complements. Yeah it's a little blocky because i don't think i added smoothing yet :P like i said i made it awhile back and forgot to upload pics until now. but thanks for the advice and compliments :D

No, they really aren't all that "okay". On top of causing terribly annoying visual issues, they make the surface virtually impossible to edit (I would know.). And can cause the game engine (especially Halo:CE) to render tons of extra polys, because that's the only thing it knows to do. It also causes texture/UVW issues and some lighting issues. It doesn't "need" repair, but creating/leaving them is a terrible habit, and can cause issues. The sight and the barrel could probably be lower poly plus fix the ngons and it's a pretty good model.

Lemme guess, you box model/ extrude the plane and edit modelled it?
Try to follow the Berretta 9k tutorial, get Max 2010-2012 Student and try again. Also, I saw a smoothing error in the middle and no bolt handle, unless i forgot to see it (charging handle)
Still, keep at it!
Also, make the main gun higher poly

Hmm, good to know. will work on fixing ngons and barrel.

@spartan-279: no i plain modeled it, and modeled faces on. adding and adding. modeling it piece by piece and putting it together. hell i don't even know what exactly it's called, mash-up that turns out sort of alright?.

That actually looks pretyt good. Best work I've seen of you yet, Altheros.

Wow. I'm surprised.

Magnum looks a little wierd though.

I have a quick question;
Did you make any of these models yourself? I've been doing a bit of research on these forums and apparently you're one to sit back and let everyone else do it for you, whereas you just want to make tiny little adjustments and call it brand new content.

TL;DR
Did you do it yourself or are you taking credit?
