Some thoughts, 1. it's a good looking model though not enough detail for almost 7k. And it looks like that's untriangulatd counts. 2. to get the triangle count convert the model to editable mesh. 3. it appears that receiver body was made by extrding a spline. this is an OK method for...

my belief abotu teh bf style ame from the IRC with valve way back. it was one of th last questions asked but the answer made me think it did not include hands.

i've had the problem with system hangs after closing out the material editor before. ended up fixing the problem by formatting and starting all over. A little dratic but whe you've been working on a model for many hours and suddenly the file corrupts because of a crash it makes me want to cry.

the knife looks good though the bade has way too many poly's. using correct smoothing you should be able to make the blade about 6-10 polygons max. as for the poly limits. from what i've read regarding hand models they are going to use a sytem similar to BF where the the arms and hands...

questions come to mind. 1. is this your gun? 2. is it a WIP? 3. what's the PC; looks good thought he handle is a bit too angular. (need a tad more rounding out) 3. who/what is the second picture all about. so very confusing.

while true it would be much harder and take longer to do with Box modeling the results would be well wort the extra effort. post a wirframe of the model and change it to a grey color so we can see better what we are looking at and it will make it easier to point out areas that could be touched...

god i love these models more and more everytime i see them. short you definatley have develoed a unique look and style to your weapons.

yeah i'm certain the heiht is coorect as well as the width but the length is definatley off after checking a few perspective ref pics. i was thinking this gun was about the lenght of an average arm when in reality it's onlt about elbow to finger length long... very accurate measuremnts eh?

ahh, thanks for the crits folks. it's definatley too long thought that is easy to fix. Thoughit's actually the proper width. the handle has some massive smoothing errors wich i didn't notice until Side put it under some better lights. bear in mind i'm trying to get it around 1500-1600 poly's...

jesus man that looks incredible. i can't belive that only 5000 looks at least triple that. Anyway idea for optimizing. you could probably get away with skinning the cooling holes (real technical eh?) especially on the barrel shroud as it's going to be fairly far in the players perspective. i...

an explanation of what i said earlier. Suppose we have a cube and we chamfer on edge. the gives us two 45 angles from our original 90. Use the edge cut tool to make a edge at the midpoint of the new 45's. then switch into vertice mode rab the verts fom our cut and pull them out slightly...

making the assumption that its max. Chamfer doesn't round edges it turns a right angle int to 45's. to make it apear round you have to adjust the smoothing groups. Even adusting the smoothing won't neccesarily solve your dilema. if it's abosulutely neccesary that it be completely smooth then...

change the background to a less stark color and use some lights and muliple ngles so we can see the whole thing. Looks like a good start what the poly count?

i'm not a huge fan of spline modeling (as i can never get it to work :) however there are some goo 3dsMAX tuts on 3dBuzz especially the car modeling tutorial by.... name escapes me but he did a custom wagon and a lotus elise. Someone must know which one i'm talking about

please bear inmind that this wepaon was made when i was still using only pimitives. I've learned a few tricks since then and the next version should aleviate some fears. As for the handle i refuse to waste poly's on a handle that won't be seen just to make a pimpin render. And i agree the...

....dah? huddu... WTF? thank you for posting that link. I have this old movie reel going trough my "They like me, they really like me" but i can't think of the movie or even if it was a movie. if anyone knows please fill me it's going to bother me for a long time... :bounce: sadly this...

check the tutorial sticky there some good links in there

why isn't there a smiley for a guy scrathing his head in confusion. i don't gt that last post "make a movie of Akira" isn't Akira a movie already???? so utterly confused.... btb, again grey incredible. Fantabulous... Ghost in the Shell rocks all.

that PC does not appear to be TRI's. convert the model t editablemesh and get the PC count that way. It's going to be at the least double you current number. Also you mentioned that you have two objects in th mesh; for future refernce your Poly count will be much lower and you mesh will flow...

We,mysely and [flixz], modeled two different versions of the same gun. A lot of the polys in mine are not seen in the render because they went into creating a lot of detail at handle area. I'm pretty sure i got the dimension of this weapon correctly as i've not been able to see it at an angle...
