hi ya,

been a while since i did any modelling so i thought i'd start learning again. still quite new to it all but i'm finding my way spent a few hours this morning doing the following, i am quite happy with it, might have a go at skinning it, dunno. let me know what you guys think.

EDIT: poly count of just under 1,100

 

[SST]

looks like a box model

 

[eddie500]

thats how i model, box modeling. thanks for the helpful comments lol

 

[Maxi]

it's pretty, I dunno, not round?

 

[eddie500]

i was trying to keep the poly count down, will look alot better with a good skin

 

[eddie500]

right i have been playing around with it and added some smoothing groups and i think it looks alot better. let me know what you think.

 

[SST]

looks better still boxy

 

[eddie500]

sry to keep posting in this thread, but SST have u ever even seen a thompson? it is a boxy gun its not my modeling, instead of just making random comments like that try going into detail in what you mean.

 

[Maxi]

IMO the edges are too sharp, but I haven't seen any highres pics of it nor have I seen it in real life.

I think it looks too boxy.........just smooth out tha butt of the gun and maybe some other areas and it should look better...

 

[SST]

Ya dude the Edges are corners there like rounded a bit. I wouldent want to hold ur gun looks like it would hurn after a while

Real life...looks pretty damn accurate to me.

Good work man, later you can add more detail :afro:

 

[NeoGlyphix]

Good work, looks really nice

 

[eddie500]

thanks sub & neo , i still have to do some smoothing around the handle but the rest (butt) is now smooth enough, (see update i posted earlier) here is the ref pic i used.

EDIT: btw sst thats not even an M1 i don't think in the pic you posted.

 

[SST]

See even in that pic u can see the handle is rounded and the edges are rounded Not square But its prety nice tho

do you even read my posts?

still have to do some smoothing around the handle

well if u were a little more observant to detail ...you would have understood what everyone was tlaking about.
it looks like u just extruded a spline..imo if ur a newbie u shud pay careful attention to what others are saying.

 

[eddie500]

lol! no i didn't extrude along a spline, i ain't that new. i model using the box modeling method. here is some of my other work, (thompson on this one is a older 1 than this from when i was just learning)

 

[SST]

mindless_moder is right u got to add some curve looks like u extruted. And im talking about the whole model not just the handle

 

[random.hero]

it looks pretty nice, but not really worth the 1,100 polies. its not too hard to make the stock and handle a bit rounded, especially as youve got this far already.

keep it up man
