Get a better program, Milkshape fails.

It isn't great, but it'll do.

Then, go to Katarn's Gun Modeling for Dummies tutorial (it's a sticky in this forum) and read through that, and follow the links off there as well. After a little bit of playing with the tools, you should be able to go from that to something like this. That was my 4th model, I think. Eventually, you'll be able to make models more like this, this (yes, I made that, it's not ripped from Halo and I didn't use a ripped model for reference either) and this.

I'm not even that good a modeler, IMO. Guys like Snaf, cooldude and Katarn do some amazing stuff, follow their advice and one day maybe you'll be that good.

lol. that gun is purely theoretical

also sign up at sourceblog.net. great tutorials there for stuff.

snaf for some reason that thing for sourceblog isnt working, unless it is and i dontk now it. Well its not coming up with anything Halo CE related.

modeling... is modeling... the tutorial may be for another game... or something else entirely... but either way, it'll still get you to know the tools better and make you better at modeling

EDIT: *checks the link*.... and... yea... there isnt really a site there... heh

www.sourceblog.org i said.net before, but honestly, you guys couldn't think to swap that for .com or .org??

um...no, well thanks anyway.
