About the boolean, thats not entirely true. If for any reason you wish to use bolean on any part of your model (there are actually times when this is the best method) you should detach the faces of your model you wish to bolean to a seperate object. This will only effect those few faces so the cleanup job will be 50,000x easier. After that just weld it back onto your main model. It's may not be the best way for most circumstances, but it's dam convenient for others.

QFT. Boolian is suitable on certain occasions

Looks awesome, great concept, great idea, and great execution. Except for some obvious poly-wastage, I see nothing wrong with this gun. 4/5 stars easily.

Also, I just cured my boolo-disease, so I understand. Its an easy habit to break, just make sure the next few models you design have a lot of holes, and don't use boolean under any circumstance for those wholes.

How could he be wrong? He stated opinions, not facts.

it is poorly proportioned, it is a butchered tavor, functions are a joke, and the execution is poor.

facts.

Prove that it is poorly proportioned, and its execution is poor. It looks like a big step up from his Beretta. He's learning, so lay off. You didn't come out of nowhere with your great weapon models, you started off like him.

Bevel/extrude.

I fail to see effort in this gun.

Come to think of it, it IS all boolean, bevel, and extrude. Why don't you plane model strider. It's hella better. I learned that by making my first plane modeled gun that kicked the shit outta any of my other models

You're only saying this because you haven't seen the heatshield. Even so, it's still not an original design.

That's only because his Beretta was bad even by his standards. Trust me, you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
Go to the FileFront Forums, the Halo section, then the Halo general modding boards, and click on Triple Threat Campaign (it should be right at the top of the page). Mind you, that mod has been in progress for over three years, and SVC is convinced he will in fact start a successful video game studio based on THAT progress.

SVC has been modeling longer than most of the greatest modelers in the CE community.

Whats your point? So hes an uber slow learner, just because he's been modelling for a long time doesn't make the smallest effort uber phail.

whether or not he learns slow, it's still bad. lay off? hahaha... jesus christ that was good. how many people have i turned around by giving the same critique as i've given here? i could talk about the one-on-one help i've given, and the relation to this subject, but i'm not going to exasperate myself on that.

Yeah, well the number of people turned around is probably equal to the number of people you turned away from ever trying to model again.

I'm with rent, you need to take some re-laxactives

Speaking of which, you should thank him for weeding them out early.

Well if they give up that easily, wow, sucks for them. They did it for attention, and to fit in, not because they liked to do it and do it well. They didn't care to learn the proper techniques and what makes a good model.

As for who needs lax, I would suggest supository cream to keep your head fit nicely up where the sun don't shine. I mean, your critique and advice seems to come from there.

Or, maybe they just wanted to have fun and try something new, but they were discouraged because you were being such a hard*** to them on their first try

Judging on what I have learned about SVC, he's been "trying" for three years now...

also, when i'm harsh, i link to many tutorials and resources. can't take the heat? gtfo the kitchen. don't want negative responses? don't post your work on a public forum.

this isn't utopia, sorry.

Some of you should already know that snaf will always, and I mean ALWAYS, will win the arguement and have the last word.....or rossum, who will appear out of nowhere...
