Yeah you might want to fix that...

[lilgrudgeboy]

what program are you using?? also try using google to find how to add texture and bump maps


only crit is that the muzzle of the gun..is to long...but iv never really seen or held a pistol like this....(only a 22 pistol)

id say great model, but this is from a video tutorial by snowy, so its not really your's since you were walked through baby steps to make it : /

[glynnsmith]

What's your point, UberInuka? Most beginner's follow tutorials to learn how to use software or make game art.

How else would you like cobalt_raptor to learn?

[Tiros]

Well, no matter if it's following a tutorial or not, it's still good practice (Edit: Bah, Glynn got to it before me )

What I'd like to see though are a screengrab of the wires. Otherwise it looks good, except from a few smoothing errors that you might want to fix

Cheers!

thanks for the comments, grudgeboy i use 3ds max and i used a reference picture of the gun and the muzzle was long, and tiros i dont know how to take screenshots of the wires

[Tiros]

Well, it's even more simple than you think I belive. While being in the perspective viewport and having a nice angle of the gun, click (F4) and then (PrtScrn), paste it into PS, and there ya got it

Another way would be rendering them out, there's a tutorial on it here: http://www.game-artist.net/forums/tu...-clay-max.html

But as mentioned in the following post, it's better to use the push modifier rather than scaling or whatever he now does in the tutorial

Oh, and for one not using the light tracer, being a bit more simple and time-saving.. Requiem got a tutorial on it here: http://www.game-artist.net/forums/tu...s-3ds-max.html

Cheers!

Man, for regular WIP wires, don't bother rendering. Just screenprint after you've enabled wireframe, and that's perfectly fine for posting in your WIP post.

Those clay render wireframes are best left for your final presentations
