I like it, I have been modeling a gun kinda like that, but not as good.

I used to be GERM, but I got a NaMe ChaNgE.

Not bad, Seems as though You have the whole mesh set on one smoothing group making it all look smooth. You need to assign different Smoothing groups to groups of faces where it is flat.
The texture Is lacking in some areas.

Next time upload via imageshack or tiny pic rather than attachments.

The metal at the front and also the barrel seem quite dull. Needs a better base texture.
Have a look here for a better guide:

Just finished this weapon, just began to to texture it, so lots more to be done. Its a sort of toxin/chemical spraying weapon that melts yours enemies.

erm, not entirely sure what that weapon needs a scope for, it is a close range weapon, seems a bit pointless if you ask me

yer, lucky i wont be holding it, but i could always move the handle so its straight rather than at a 45 degree angle. but i have no real intention to put this weapon in a game engine mainly for practice purpose's so may just leave it.

But thanks for the comments mate.

well im not sure but the general shape of it makes it seem hard to hold, not really sure what it is, this is just a suggestion but it may work upside down instead, up to you mate

Quote: "In most cases a single smoothing group should be applied to the entire in-game mesh before baking. However this can produce extreme shading differences across the model, as the lighting is interpolated across the extreme differences between the vertex normals. It is usually better to reduce these extremes when you can because the tangent basis can only do so much to counteract the extreme lighting variations. Less extreme gradients are also better if your game engine doesn't use the same tangent basis as the baker (or doesn't make its own properly)."

I recommend reading the whole thing.

Nice model all and all though, but I think the smoothing group detracts from it to be honest. It looks bubbly. Like the article says, "produce extreme shading differences across the model, as the lighting is interpolated across the extreme differences between the vertex normals". Translation? Smoothing groups are great for models that don't have hard edges because hard edges become smoothed when it's applied.

Does it have a trigger? Otherwise, really nice models. Very creative design.

Did another quick gun, like a small sci-fi'ish smg. It lacks a trigger due to the fact im hopeing to put this gun into FPSCreator and the hand will be blocking the trigger area. But apart from that what you all think.

I like the Sci-fi SMG a lot. I'd offer to make hands for the SMG, but your gun is a whole bunch above my level. Also, I'm not good at making textures. What'd you make it with?

PPSH?
or at least based on it, i think.

looks good, although the stock, seems a little dark. Other than that, great. The fps render does it justice, most guns seem bland but yours works pretty well.

on the model side the handle seems slightly too far forward, it would seem arkward without a good stance, and its hard to get it right while being shot at!

Looks great Although try and add more tone to the textures rather than just noise and scratches. You can add more tone my the dodge and burn tools in photoshop (if you have it ).

Thankyou for the kind words.

lazerus - yes the stock can easily be lightened up a little ill work on that, and if your referring to the front handle I can always bring that in a little thanks for the tips I will correct.

DEMONAIR - the texture tutorial you attached is very interesting I will have a look at this and apply it to my work.

Many thanks.
