here's my latest model. remember im still a noobie modeler. oh u might recognize the scope . Thanx to katarn for his sweet tutorial.

looks like a battle rifle
Awsome none the lest

yea i noticed that but dont go thinking i remodeled it. i made it from scratch but then had trouble with the scope therefore i used the br's. here's my reference model. i might add on to this model so that it looks more realistic.

Dont know what to say because its better than what I can do.

thx im thinking of releasing it to the public since finidng a good xm8 model thats for free is pretty hard.

Yeah, but really all it needs is a UV and bumpmap and it should be great.

it looks really boxy.

*updated, check first post* its done but i need a someone to uvw it. if anyone can help please tell me.

err...it looks terribly inaccurate milkshape is a horrid modeling program

its not terrible but it could be better just fix up the smoothing and itl look so much better

thats not true, ive seen drop dead amazing models come out of ms3d. its all about the user not the program

-_- not to sound like a jerk but its more accurate than all the xm8s i saw in ur final model pack. not that i didnt like the models but they werent as accurate as ur latest xm8.

i agree but like i said im still learning.

Oversmoothed, looks like there was a lot of primitives used... polygon wastage on the barrel and forend (which is a cylinder, but shouldn't be). Custom scope should be easy, try it.

Agreed about the Oversmoothing,

@RA1N, is that a picture from Halo 3 =? Because those sure do look like elites with banshees in the background...

-Doom

No, it's from Halo Wars. It's a Halo RTS being made by Ensemble, of Age of Empires fame.

you might wanna fix the foregrip on the barrel because it looks more like a water tank than a xm8 at the end.. it's round when the foregrip should just have a bottom curve.. it looks like you just threw a cylinder in there... otherwise good.

keep in mind those were remodels >_>

i guess you're right falcon it all depends on the user.


ross is right it's oversmoothed too try using create face. works much better then primitives

Something about it seems odd, but it's decent.

smoothing mb? >.>
well im fixing it and working on it's uvws. the next pix u'll see will be in-game.
