spin beat me to the things I was going to mention. Aside from chasing down some shading issues I'd say it looks good. Maybe just a tad more feminin face, unless that's what you're going for.

Dang, eagle eyes... plus it shoots stuff too! Aside from attaching the handle in the front, it's looking good.

Most of the indicated parts at the back of the gun are to give more detail where the player will see them. In my opinion, that's not wasted. As far as the barrel goes, the extra cut you see was needed to clear up some shading issues created by the groove cut into the sides of the barrel. I...

I agree with spin, the round body is nice, but the other parts could use a little more attention. Unless of course that is actually how the RPG looks.

ankalar: I know how to triangulate the model, but I try not to until the very end. That way if I have to change anything I can still work with the quads. I just forgot to before I made the render. Firegold: Care to elaborate on the inaccuracies and wasted polies?

Here's the wire. After I rendered it I noticed there are a few quads I forgot to spit up, but you get the picture.

Maybe this image is a little better. You were right, the colored background does help some. Still working on the wireframe.

Actually it's a Lightwave render with radiosity saved as a bmp, then put into photoshop to compress it into a jpg. Its the same quality that I've been using, this it the first time anyone said anything about it. I'll try to upload a better shot and some wires in the morning.

Here's that sword I was talking about. I made it for a modeling contest, then /\ was around 1000 I think. I attached the file too incase you wanted to look at the geometry.

I rebuilt our old DE from scratch this afternoon. /\ count is currently at 1635. Thoughts?

That's an interesting player model you got there. Its a little hard to see some of the details, could you give us a larger shot?

You're thinking of normal mapping if I'm not mistaken. I've only played with it a little bit on my player model, but I think we'll all be able to do some pretty cool stuff with it.

My only comment is on the Marine Melter. If you can afford it, put a few more polys in the cable thingies. They are awful angular at this point.

I think the suggested "extra roundness" on the shroud would be good. I was going to say that the rest of the gun looked awful boxy... then I realized that it's supposed to be.

Nice model, makes me sad when I look at my own beretta :(

I'd agree with taking polys out of the stock, chances are it won't get seen anyway. I agree with the barrel too. But the sights... don't skimp on the sights if they are going to be functional ( i.e. ironsights ). Other than that it looks good. I'm having trouble seeing where the 3000 /\'s...

Is the clip missing? That's the first thing I noticed.

So you have to work in two phases then eh? Basic desgin in Wings, then move to fix stuff in Max. Boy, that would drive me nuts having to switch back and forth.

Depends on the kinda of blade you want. The easiest way would be to take a flate poly from the hilt and either Extrude it or Bevel it out to create the main part of the blade. From there you can bevel the edges once or twice to create a nice cutting edge. I made a sword a while back, perhaps...

Is this more along the lines of what you were thinking Grey?
