I deleted the old topic because on some things I can be some what of a neat freek Well here's the updated one with new handle.




So what'cha think (now )?

Also, give me any two real numbers (ints or decimals, no fractions)

looks a hell of a lot better.

Never got to see what you said to my 'coughtoldyousocough' post... tehee

Much better, but still lacks overall detail, a trend I see in all your work, but it's not bad at all.

My only suggestion on the design is the scope. Rifle scopes are generally tapered in the middle, or shrunk in some way, and held on by a bolt or two, like this:

Here's a shot of how you might design the way it attaches:

Although I loathe the large end on the end of that scope. As effective as it may be, I think it's rather fugly, so I'd opt for a design more like the first.

Oh, two more things.

1. Trigger guards are a good idea, they exist so you can't drop the gun and watch the trigger snap off or fire and hit someone important standing next to you.

2. 3.4 and 502, and fractions are actually decimals.

Actually, more design suggestions.

The stock looks a little odd, I'd go for a more futuristic design as seen on the M4 or H&K's rifles. If you're going for that classic design, I suggest taking inspiration from the M14:



You may wish to make the barrel similar to that as well.

once again with an update, better posts this time so I won't delete it, and I'm too lazy too. Here's the new back end of it.


BTW - FYI as with all but 3 of my other weapon models, this is an external 3do. So not alot of detail will be added mesh wise...

it looks maybe a tad to.....ummm...simple? but i still like it a lot, maybe it just needs textures.

------------------

Um...hold it right there. The scope is mounted on the stock. That makes absolutely no sense, unless the holder is from some alien race with really long and flexible necks. The stock goes up against your shoulder to brace the weapon. How can you possibly look through a scope that is stuck to your shoulder? Mount the scope much farther forward, and Emon's suggestion for the scope can be achieved without using too much detail. Just leave off the bolts, maybe. The handle is nice, but seems a little too straight. The body needs more detail too. The weapon has a nice shape and design, it just needs to be detailed in the most important areas.

nother update.

And this is how the external model will look if there are no changes to everything else but the grip.

The scope is still attached to the stock...

So what? This is how you'd hold it and use it.


Now if it doesn't look 100% realistic thats because I quickly whipped this up for this only.

That guy's going to get some neck pains from that. You shouldn't have to tilt your head to use a scope.

1. The large block on the back of the scope looks like a cheap method of making the scope I posted earlier. Delete it, extrude both ends twice (extrude the new faces), and then scale up the new sectors, and then delete them, it'll look much more like a real scope.

2. That big block that is holding the scope on is unnecessary and silly. As shown in the above pictures, most scopes have one or two bolt thingies that hold it on, nothing else.

...DESCENT_PILOT *mangles DP*

You've made a gazillion random blasters, but you've never really textured any of them, nor have you shown them in-game. Similarly, you have made a mangomillion shibby COGs, none of which have seen the light of day (except for in that one demo waaaaay back which featured faulty KEYframes, and no real display of the COGging or modelling mastery that you are capable of achieving, inside a less than respectable level).

I need a texturer and then I will show ingame shots and give out demos and whatnot. Textures... I wish I could do them And player models, not good at that eitherm then I could finally finish, looking for someone reilable to do both....

Also, what are you taking about with faulty Keyframes, the leaning? And what also do you mean by less then respectable level
