Its ok. The shapes are kinda simple, the wireframe isn't very clean and it looks like it will have alot more faces that it should..

yea the crazy wireframe is cuz i used a boolean operation for a ton of the model, then fixed up any errors... it makes stuff go a lot faster, just makes the wireframe a bit weird..

you really shouldn't use boolean unless you really need it, and i can't see a place wehre you'd need it.

yea it was rly an experiment to see if boolean would work.. and i guess it does..
but so what if the wireframe looks messy? as long as its the lowest possible polys and it looks fine rendered and in game, it shouldnt matter
