Well I'm new so i haven't seen "another AK-47" model thread before

.

It's looking really neat so far, is there any more modelling to go? May I ask you...

- What 3D software
- Current poly count / Your poly count maximum
- What techniques and tools/functions did you use? What primitives did you first start off with for the model?

Ta. Looking forward to the texturing

ChosonLord · 12-21-2006, 12:52 PM

Thanks Icey!

- What 3D software?3D Studio Max 8

- Current poly count / Your poly count maximumTris: 2442
-max: 5000

- What techniques and tools/functions did you use? What primitives did you first start off with for the model?I always use box modeling technique for weapons.

At the moment im having a bit of trouble with smoothing, and also im kind of a noob at texturing but I will do my best

Ta for the info

What trouble are you having with smoothing? Using smooth groups?

Just in case, you might find this useful:
http://tutorials.moddb.com/16/berett...ideo-tutorial/
(see "09_Smooth_Groups")

Or just a simple google on using smooth groups would be quicker
