Awww.... that's awesome. Great work Grey. Keep it up! My only concern might be the shading in this part here:

Oh I see. I found a parts manual and figured out what you were talking about. Maybe I'll get a chance to post and update after work tonight. Thanks for the help!

I actually made the whole pump more of an oval shape. That's why the cone part there is a little off. That's easily fixed though. Good call on part B, I think the angle I made it at is wrong. As for C, do you mean the spacer between the barrel and the pump?

6000 is a bit, but I'm diggin all that detail. Fantastic work. Only thing I would point out is that shading problem on the bottom of the handle.

It wasn't supposed to be different, I was posting the fixes I made.

Groovy, heh. Anyhow, here's an update. I think I fixed that shading error below the sight, and I enlarged the pump a bit. The grooves will probably be done with normal/bump maps so the gun can be scaled down for lower-end systems. Here's a link to the wire if anyone is interested: wire

Well, doesn't the P90 have the clip up along the top of the gun? How does that feeder work?

I don't think the problem would just be in HL2. Most engines work with /\'s I think.

Yes, but you could divide that quad two different ways. Thus shading error. Pardon my post if you were just being funny :(

Didn't think so, but figured it never hurt to ask.

That cracking you see is probably just a shading error. I'll see if I can't track it down. Thanks for the feedback.

I dig your style Grey. Do those renders come from Max? Or does that free modeler render out those awesome pics too?

I had thought about modeling the grooves in the pump, but I think that would put me way over budget.

Lets see if I can explain. Take an ordinary box: Here it is in quads. However broken into triangles it would look like this: Not much change right? Lets say we take a corner and move it around a little: If were to turn that particular face into triangles we might...

Unless I'm mistaken, it is because quads can very easily become "not flat" And that leads to odditites in shading. If it is borken down into triangles you are assured that it will be shaded the same way every time. Anyone back me up?

Here's one of them:

Here's my Winchester 1300 model. I'm still not satisfied with it yet, but I can't figure out what exactly bugs me about it. It's at about 1400 /\'s right now. Light - I know but I can't find a logical place to add more. C&C?

Won't it have to be broken down into triangles before it is inserted into the game? Most engines work that way.

I say if you can spare the /\'s, go ahead and put them in the scope etc... The player will be seeing that more anyway.

Hurray lefties! Good looking model. Great looking actually. Think you could show us a wireframe?
