How do you make a gun in XSI

[Elderad]

Characters i can make but how do you make weapons from reference images?

just to be nosey, can we see some of your character work please ?

you can go about it many different ways, looks for some tutorials dude.

As long as you know the basic tools, you can see tutorials for any 3d package and apply them in any other 3d app.

http://www.edharriss.com/ surely you can find something useful on there

Im not an XSI dewd, Im more familiar with 3dsmax

go to the tools/polygons/make cool gun model function


but seriously,, go about it the same way you would with a character (assuming you box model) trace a primitive shape then constantly go back and refine it

 

[Cyanide]

I find it difficult to believe that you can model a character but not a gun. Are you considering using the Get -> primative -> model -> character-man to be making a character?

 

[random.hero]

thats just why i asked him to show us some of his characters

meh i consider using the get dude button as modelling, its just a cheap way

and really i would advise you to praccy in milkshape first to get the principles of moving verts etc, i use max and compared to xsi, xsi scares me, i cant do shit in it tbh so i cant help anymore
