[Model] UZI 9mm

RaVNzCRoFT · Post by **RaVNzCRoFT** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 7:16 pm

Here's an UZI that I made. It took me about 3 hours. It's not finished because it's appearing in an upcoming Halo 2 mod and today was absolutely the last day I could work on it. Ignore the smoothing and rough polygon errors. About 2,500 polies, unoptimized, since I didn't have time to optimize it.

A bit too thin for me, but I don't know how a 9mm Uzi should look like.

Great job otherwise.

you got the right idea but its way to skinny and missing some key details

Ugly, too skinny and like cooldude linked to, use more refs

Not that bad, just undetailed and skinny...

MY EYES! MY EYES! THE BRIGHTNESS! BLARGH!

Too thin, needs smoothing and some details. Did someone eat the cocking lever?

sweet, it needs an ejection port and a cocking handle.

How do you curve the edges like that? You see on the bottom of the clip, and the clip itself. And what program do you use?

Yeah, that was me. It tasted good. (No reference to the fifth word in the quote)

Anyway, it looks pretty good, but it's too thin, and maybe a little higher-poly would be nice. Otherwise, it's a good try for someone who's not particularly experienced with modeling.

I made the model a lot thicker, but it's not really a big enough update to post. So just imagine that the thickness problem is gone.

Well, other than that, I think it's fine. Maybe it would be easier to tell if I could see it without the thickness problem.

Sights, cocking lever, detail. Width is less insane though.

render in perpective, not user. also use clay rendering with a dark background. it shows the details a lot better than a light gray object on a white background with no lights.

metkillerjoe · Post by **metkillerjoe** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 3:22 pm

It was in user? Wow, I respect you even more now, Snaf

.

But yeah, clay render would be much better.

*searches history*

YES!!

Scroll down 3/4 of the page. You'll find one of the best renders I've seen and an explanation. Also, there is one above it that is awesome as well.

I take it back. The first one is the best I've seen.

User? No wonder it looked weird...

you can tell that it's in user when parallel lines don't coverge backwards into space. this is also called isometric perspective. it's done in blueprints for the sake of accurate measurments/ no distortion.

in the bottom right hand viewport (when highlighted), just hit "P", and you'll be in perspective, rather than user.

also, to clay render, i usually set up a skylight (9-20 rays, cast shadows) and an omni light (.5-.7 intensity, no shadows) and light tracer. the fewer the rays, the more "clay" it'll be.

I know what user does, I accidentally turned it on once before and lol'd at how weird it looked... didn't spot it this time though.
