HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Hey guys, yesterday dyer13 showed me his work and i thought i would try to learn how to do it. He has gave me a lot of pointers and taught me a lot, but one thing i dont know how to do is make it look cool.



i have that, but how do i make it look good?



i am using that. how do i add lines and stuff? and make the screws actually look like screws instead of just gray circles?

thanks for any help!

looks like you splined the whole thing... incuding the barrel

Here's what i did. I put the pistol in the bottom left, then traced it in individual sections, then i extruded it to give it some depth. After that, I chamfered all the corners...and thats how i did the barrel too. I'm starting to skin it..i think thats what its called..using this UVM unwrapping thing thats linked. Is there an easier way or better way to be doing this?

Theres an update.

you have a lot to learn, but you're off to a much better start than most people. good luck. check out katarn's modeling tutorial before attempting the next weapon and getting stuck in a rut.

Yeah not bad for a first at all .
Read up on the tutorials and you shall be right as rain.
