This is my first model. I made it in Gmax (spline and some primitives). I dont know if thats a good way to model guns but i cant figure out plane modelling in gmax.(Is it possible?).
Anyways the gun is a Thompson.
If you guys have any tips on gun modelling they would be greatly appreciated.

Onto the pics...

P.S. Is there any way i could use this pic below to texture my gun. I dont like using just gray or a plain metal texture tiled.

Thanks.

For a first model its pretty nice. You can plane model in gmax, gamx and 3dsmax is pretty close except the fact that 3dsmax have a whole set of options (rendering, normap support...etc) oh and you would have to Uvw and open the uvw in photoshop( or any other editing program similiar you could do it paint if you want) and with some resizing and fitting you can apply it on your model.

Thank you! Well im gonna try doing the UVW thing in paint. I would have never thougth you could do it with paint.
Can i use the methods in the sticky 3ds UVW Unwrap tutorial in gmax?
