I have to remake the gun cause my hard drive crashed and i lost all my models

but heres a render

Thats pretty good polygon usage. How many are there? Nice model by the way, although it is simple.

thx man

heres an update


its 1572 polys in that update

wow man, that looks pretty good. already looking better than the previous one.

That is an excellent model. Not too much crap on it, good use of polies, and the outcome looks great. Excellent job so far. Get a nice skin on there and it should look pretty nice.

about 60% of it is waste, you should definitely optimize that. It does look better than the original though.

Yeah, I can see a couple that could be easily fixed, but overall it is not bad. You know how to optimize, right?

looks like too many wasted poly's on the handle

and it might just be me, but it looks like theres alot of length segments on
the barrel.

I believe that all models should have alot of segments when it comes to bent clips. Such as this guns clip. It just looks dumb if you don't. Still a nice model though.

WRONG. To be completely accurate, it should have either 3 or 4, he actually has too many, and they are in the wrong spots. To get the most possible smoothness/curve for your segment, you need them evenly spaced.

Well, I didn't mean that as 'I believe this is how people do it, or how it works' I meant taht is just my belief. What I believe in. I can't stand looking at something that's supposed to be curved, and you can see the corners on it. I also believe that anything that is supposed to be curved, should have alot of poly's put into it. Like the barrel. I usually go with 14, or 18 sides. Trigger guards, eh, no so much. But a smooth handle should have some really smooth looking poly's Any long flat surface, should be as low poly as possible.

Like I said, just my belief's.

Oh, and that anything small shouldn't be very detailed, considering how small it is. I never got past why people put so much effort into guns. Vehicles should have more details than guns in my opinion. Although my Cavalier model doesn't really support that. >_>

I just don't know what to add for detail on it!

sorry for the long waited reply ive been so busy lately and havnt had a chance to work on it.
thanks for the positive replys and i think the clip is fine.. but thats just me. the poly count is
1643
here is the final render
im adding uvw maps for textures so just ignore those.

I love your models cooldude!
The final copy looks great

thanks maca

and heres an update

Not paticularly a fan of the colors... but looks pretty cool anyways.

Lol, the colours will be changed, that just happens after you export the UVW's with texporter =D.

duh, colored uv's. Anyways, the maps don't look so good

Wow. Crazy. My first model (an SMG) is nowhere near as detailed or smooth yet has 952 polys... still working on it too.

thanks guys and i think they look ok not the best maps cuase they are the first ones i did that didnt use the detach method

heres part of the skin started
