plane modeling is my favorite

slide redone, looking somewhat better.

and then:

what pistol you guys like more? the big or small one, and which one's slide is better? why?

That is kickass man! I can't wait to see it textured and in game.

pie is going to texture it for me

in game via cmdr probably

well, i dunno if i'm that great at texturing, getting the nano texture just right took me a little bit lol

i do have a folder or two full of perfect gun textures, i just needa make then into the 1024/512/256/etc

take me about 3 minutes...maybe 4 since i'm lazy

lmao pie. well i'd like you to texture it. you were always tellin me to send you my models so you could texture them.

Nice. A lot of improvement since the first screens, lol. But its a little too skinny, scale it a bit.

too skinny, clip is utter and total shit, too many polygons used on top of slide. I personally don't like the huge halo-ish trigger guard, but it's all good. lacks detail. Barrel is using (i'm guessing) at least 16 sides, which isn't a good thing. I can see the seem down the middle, suggesting that you haven't symmetrized it correctly, other than that, it's good for a first try at plane modeling.

yes, too skinny, i'll be fixing that, clip was just a box, was using it for refference, and if you are reffering to the length of the clip, i gave it a custom glock tactical look. the slide can easily be redone, so chill a bit on that. the barrel is only 10 sides, smoothed. i applied a symmetry modifier to the gun, but meh i did it real quick to see what it was like. it's not anything finalized. i don't want too much detail. detail costs polys. polys make lag. lag is bad. overall, i think you assumed too much, but thank you for the final compliment in the end.

after optimizing it's still under 500 polys. when insetting vertices, i used too many. when i put back on the old slide, i can probably get it under 450. not bad i think. plane modeling costs more poly's than line and extrude, but it does look better, and i'm glad i switched over.

you have any suggestions for modeling the slide? i knew sooner or later you'd show up in my topic. lol.l
