Hello,
I have never really modeled much in my Renegade experience, so I decided to have a go at modeling a weapon. It's not skinned yet, but I just wanted to get some feedback on what you guys think. So, if you guys like it, here's the first weapon to be included in the Modern Warfare mod.
Sorry for the crappy quality picture, 3ds isnt working right now, so I can't give you a good render. Hopefullly by Tuesday, I will replace this picture with a good render.
This is my first weapon ever, so take it easy on me.

maytridy | Yeah, we're editing it a little and throwing some finishing touches on it. Then off to the skin factory!
|
It needs more than a little editing and finishing touches...
This is supposed to be the Colt m4 right? It is VERY HARD to tell what that model is.
Everything on that model is either way too large (the butt stock, and the center of the gun for example), or way too small (the magazine and grip/trigger). The handle on top isn't even close to what the handle on the real gun looks like, niether is the front iron site.
I don't think you'd like to hear what I think of that model...
I got a few tips though...
Let those that have experience in modeling make the mod's models. While they're doing that you can practice and learn 3dsmax/gmax and get some more experience in modeling before you try to make a model that's going to be released publicly.
When you're modeling, in both gmax and 3dsmax, you can get an image of what you're modeling (When you're doing a gun you'd want to get an image of that gun that's DIRECTLY from the side), and make it the background of the left/right viewport. Click on the left/right (depending on which side of the gun the image is of) viewport, hit ALT+B, browse for the image of the gun for the background, select "match bitmap" or whatever it's called and lock pan/zoom. Now you can model over this image, making your model EXACTLY like the real one.

ohmybad | Dose making a background only work for 3ds max or dose it work with gmax too? Oh and are there websites where i can get pics on guns from top and side?
|
Does it hurt that much to actually READ a post before replying?

http://www.google.com and search for the gun you're doing, you can find ALOT of sites about that gun.
(www.securityarms.com has alot of pictures of alot of guns, the only thing is is that they protect their gun's images, so you'd have to take a screenshot of their website)

Thanks for the tips, Sir Phoenixx, I appreciate it.

I didn't model this after anything, I guess I made a mistake, I should model after real weapons. I just started making a gun off the top of my head. It was just kind of a fantasy gun, I wasnt really going for precision and realism.
Thanks for the background tip......I've used it before for spline modeling, I'll put it to use here too.

As of now, we don't have many weapon modelers, (just me and one or two others) so I thought i would give it a try.
I'll either majorly fix this model up or just scrap it.

its because im not done with the model, it was just a basic model of the tank, i have now just finished making the machine gun that sits on top of the turret, and then i must put some other details on it too make it look good. i have only worked on the model for a total of 4 hours so i think its comin out pretty good.
i will keep u updated
