M6C Magnum

Post by p0lar_bear »

I got bored last week and decided to try making everyone's favorite pea-shooter, just to learn some more about modeling. This is based off of the pistol's mesh; with a few additions (sight, safety, barrel, trigger) modeled by me. This is nothing to write home about; my modeling skills aren't the greatest, as I am better with editing an existing model than starting from scratch. Therefore, I do not present this as a professional job; I do not want professional critique. But I would like tips for future works.

Also, I am VERY well aware that I need smoothing applied.

Sooo... here's the model I have:

Compare it to Bungie's render:

ok, i can give you some tips if you let us know your modeling method (spline? plane? box?) and give us a wire-on-model render, prefferably from that same angle.

Dude. No. Do you even know who Katarn and Snaf are?They are some of the few 1337est modelers that have ever set foot in CE. =D

Did that.

It's hard to say what modeling method I use. For this, I was just adding to and removing parts from the M6D Pistol's mesh. What I added was either moving verices around, then deleting/creating faces.

But, when I make an attempt at modelling something from scratch, I tend to use anything I can; so, planes, primitives, and splines.

Nice!
But why can't someone make something up instead of copping Bungie?
