2400-odd polies. One bored 15-year-old. 5 hour's work. One AWESOME gun.

Like it guys?

Closeup of Scope (that took ages to make )

You may notice I left out the rear sights. I did that deliberately, I may add them in later.

Ooo, very nice Hunter. Looks just like the reference pic.
Plus the Scope looks awesome.

time well spent on the scope
well done dude!

For a third model, pretty good! I like the scope alot too!

yeah thats great for a 3rd model.

Thanks guys! I've updated the model a bit and it is now uploaded to turbosquid.com, I'm trying to flog it for $10 (not a bad price, seeing what some people try to sell for up to $50).

See, after I compared the reference pic and the side shot of my model, the scope was mounted too high and too far forwards, so I fixed that as well as the promised rear sight.

Enjoy!


Finished!

Great job, wish i could model.. But when i think about it i know the very basics.. And once you've built the models what happens then? You have to spend another day or so skinning them and then what? Lol..

I think i'll stick to my skinning thanks even if i can't get HMT and the game to work together

Greatjob any way!

Fury

Thanks.

Modelling (at the same level as me) is actually quite easy. Like drawing the gun in Photoshop or Paint even, except in 3D. I haven't skinned any of my models yet. I'll get someone else to.

Hey, it's very good low-poly stuff. I like it : ) You're good at placing only the necessary verticies.

its good and the scopes great but its a little off on teh diameter in teh middleand back section compeared to the front
also what program are you usein and if its max how do you add verticies onto an edge. ive figured out how to create a vertice but its can be anywhere and i want it to be on an edge. extriding .1 and resizing it a pain in the ass

So... you want to make an edge have a vertex between the ends of it? Try cut, or create a vertex, copy the Z #'s from the edges two vertices and place it in the vertex Z field. Next Take the axis the edge is at a right angle to the edge (X in this case,) and copy that from the vertices onto the one vertex's X axes.

Now if you have the two ends of the edge centered on the Y axes (for example: 6 to the right -6 to the left) just place the one vertex at Y: 0. Then just create poly's from that vertex to the edge ones and such and you have it. Quicker way is to use cut.

Hunter, I have never seen that rifle before, and Im don't like all the smoothing on it. The scope is nice though. When you are makign a long curved surface like that beveling the curvey surfaces and then moving the vertices aroound to get your shape afterwards is the way I would do it. I used that technique on the main hull of the turret on my tank.

Cheers .

I chamfered and smoothed. Thanks for the tip though.

Soccer, if you have 3ds max, just look at the character creation tutorial about the fat kid... it's early on in the creating arms part.

Yeah. The scope's meant to look like that, in fact many real scopes have differences in size between the objective (front) and ocular (back). Tahe another look at the reference, you can see the difference. Aslo in the more recent pictures you can see how I tinkered with the scope to get it exactly like in the reference pic.

nice model, looks like theres alot of extruding and bevelling gone on, cant wait to see it textured.

Thanks. I made it by drawing a spline for the stock, extruding, then chamfer and smooth. The scope, receiver and barrel are made from extruded N-Gons (10 or 12 sided), then some parts were tapered. The bolt is just 2 extruded N-Gons and a sphere. It looked kinda dodgy but I didn't really care at the time.

Any volunteers for skinning?

nice model lol but definetly confuses me, is that an infared scope on an old rifle? lol look nice though..real nice for a 3rd

No, the scope lens is tinted red. It's a normal scope.
