Here is my ak-47 that i have so far spent about 4 hours modeling from scratch. THIS IS MY FIRST MODEL that i have actually tried on (not just a bunch of primitives, really its my first one) please take mercy on my 12-year-old soul as i present to you my first creation, constructive critiscim welcomed, oldfaq, reply here! lol Remember: it is a work in progress

Brand New Render!!!







I'm completely redoing the smoothing so dont worry about that, the pics are back up

if you 56kers want i can make the pics smaller

its nice but too blocky

my first one, and, the ak is kinda blocky if you look at it carefully, i'll try to smooth out the clip, grip, saddle, and receiver more

hmmm,
its better than my first model lol, but do you know what the chamfer tool is?

yah chamfer the edges so they arent so sharp. to do this in max simply go to edit mesh>select edges>select all the edges you want to chamfer>and click on the slider and drag to your desired amount. i am pretty sure of this. i havent been using max a whole lot lately. i have been working in maya mostly.

This model looks great keep going on it, I like it.

The master has spoken praise! Yes, i need to use the chamfer tool more, i've been busy but i'll get on it asap

I just realized i cant chamfer at all, everything ends up real wierd and undesirable, can you point me to a tutorial that explains how to chamfer with desirable results?

WOW that model is sweet. But I agree with everyone else, make it a little less blocky.

i will once i learn to friggin chamfer, i dont wanna have to cut and move vertices on the entire model

I'm A JACKAL YAY

please, reply, i want more crits

The problem with chamfer is, you can't always get desirable results. I wouldn't recommend chamfering because alot of the times it will fup. (fuck up)

Oh, and did you follow a tutorial for that? Because I could of sworn I seen one for that.

maybe you could use planes on top of the blocky parts then move the vertices to get the desired results.

floyd, i did not actually use the tutorial for that, i used their picture, thats it

what the hell did you just say???

trust me, use the chamfer tool. But if you don't know how to use t you will make your models messed up, plus your models have to be set up correclty first of all. Just make a box editable poly -> Select edges, select 2 edges accross from eachother and then find the chamfer button click on it and a box will pop up put a number in and then find the right one so you know what it will look like and that you will like it

OHHH, i was trying to do it with editable mesh, the triangle faces will really mess it up huh.

post unneeded

with editable poly, my faces are down around 500 now, with edit mesh they are around 1400
