My JED Models

Hello

I have been using JED for a while. It's my modeler of choice for JK and I think its quite easy to use. I made mainly lots of weapon models with it.

These so far are my best ones:

http://img90.exs.cx/img90/3473/pistol13rk.jpg

I hope to make some kind of weapons mod with them as soon as I can get them textured and animated.

I love those models. They look great without having overwhelmingly too many polies.

And I agree. JED > any other 3d editor, no matter how many thousands of dollars you spend on it.

Thanks, everyone.

One slight problem though is that texturing is going to be hard and I cant find any better ways. JED is the best at shaping the models, but its way of texturing is tedious and doesn't work on some surfaces. Anyone have any suggestions?

There is a tool out there called force remap that helps texturing complex models.

Agreed. I think they look simple, and at the same time accurate and pretty. If they are well-textured and animated, that will be more than enough polies for a game like JK.

Thanks, this program works really well. All I have to do is make a material that matches a part of shape and scale to fit.

This is the pistol now:

The M4 is a bit harder but I think it's going well.

Anyone have tips on making them appear more realistic though? I basically just lightened and darkened over a picture of the wireframe to make the textures.

Tone down the lighting on the textures. It's wayyyy too shiney. You can't make it too shiny, because it looks totally wrong at nearly every angle (looks like someone took a white paintbrush down the side of the gun), defeating the purpose. JK simply doesn't have support for really effective lighting.

That's because it's not textured... Yeesh.

I'm in love with the MP7. I need to see that one textured.

Ok, I've finished texturing all 3 models now, and here they are:

http://img29.exs.cx/img29/5232/smgpdwtexture15kv.jpg
I worked the longest on the mp7 texture.

I've been making models for a while ever since I learned to use JED a few years ago when I played JK alot.

I'm going somewhere for a week so I wont have anything newer just yet.

Models = Good.
Textures = I never knew guns could be made from marble.

Think while it's still legal.

I don't know, I think they still look really good. The carbine = UB3R S3X! I <3 your simple yet effective modeling skills.

The models are great, and the texturing job is well done. I know how hard it is to a) make or b) find appropriate textures. And texturing itself is not too easy, either.
