I've started using Blender to make some low poly weapons for a little project I and a few other guys are working on. Firstly, here's a render of a low-poly sniper rifle, weighing in with only 145 Quads...

Both models are way too simple, and you have some extreme texture stretching on both models. For example it seems as you just did a frontal UV projection on that rocket launcher.

Looks good, but I´m with Alucard. And you need to work on your texture
But its a good start.

I'm not doing the textures. They got put on by accident with the Blender materials thingy...

Apparently the poly count needs to be <300 tris for the project, I think that's what the coder says. I can't sat much about why it's that low, just that it is...

Still, you could make those look quite a bit nicer with less that 150 quads pretty easily.

Ick, I suggest you model the gun as well as you can without worrying about polycount and then clean it up and reduce until you get down low enough, That, or just use boxes instead of cylinders.

I model the first one from a box, the second one was a cylinder though...

Apparently the player'll never see a close-up of these anyway, it's a TPS view, so the texture will mostly compensate for it (hopefully)...

I'll see if I can get a basic UVM around it...
