WIP FN-SCAR-H

[BEEF!!!]

Katarn usually doesn't use his guns for Halo. Most of the time its for show.

[Pie]

And a damn good show at that

[jks]

Yea, you dont need to be conservative when your just doing it to do it...

[Darkstorm995]

I see, I am just used to making models for games so i always count what im making

[jks]

I mean you could do a few rigs, but thats pretty much all I would do... Im not a map maker.

[Katarn]

68,000 polies.

That was a joke. It's below 3000

[jks]

You jokester you... Im gonna make an insanely high poly gun just to say I did....

[Waverunner]

Wow Katarn - even though its unfinished it looks awesome. I look forward to seeing this tutorial becasue as of right now I'm at the very basic level of making guns!

And lol 68,000 polies.... I made a map with less...... lol!

Making a box, then hitting tesselate 20 times, doesn't count, jks.

[jks]

What in tarnation is that nonsense? No, I mean a gun with like a bunch of spikes and ninja wizards coming out of it... oooooo, ninja wizards are cool, and bears with laser eye vision, and a disco ball....sweeeeet.

[Darkstorm995]

it didnt look 68.000
is that in triangles or polys

[jks]

Ummmm, polys and triangles are the same thing.

[Katarn]

polies=triangles quads (more than 3 sides, or 3 vertices to this polygon)=darkstorm's interpretation of polies

[Darkstorm995]

1472 Polygons would be 3355 Triangles
The game counts Triangles when putting a gun in so something around 2000-3000 Triangles would be good amount

well i think thats what it means i get confused sometimes.

[jks]

How would the poly count come up as different than the triangle count?

[Darkstorm995]

im saying thats how it shows in max

1 square poly = to 2 tris if im right

[SnaFuBAR]

for non-gun nuts around here. This shoots bigger bullets. Alot bigger.

i breezed through the mm's of the shells but that, from what i recall, is 30 caliber (7.62) vs. 22 caliber (5.56).

definately a heavy version. like an m16 vs. an AK-47. size doesn't matter as much as stopping power. and don't draw stopping power from caliber. 22 caliber creates a wound that is acceptable in combat because the projectile, once entering a body, follows a curved path, rather than going straight through. the 30 caliber round, however, creates a wound straight through, with a larger exit wound. both will drop you easily.

anyways, gun nut bable blah blah blah. the gun looks great so far. i d/l part of your tut, but it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. One or more codecs required to play the file could not be found."

what codecs do i need??

[jks]

im saying thats how it shows in max

1 square poly = to 2 tris if im right

Yea, but polies are triangles, not squares.

And just about any bullet will kill you if you hit them between the eyes, and slightly up, this is the magic kill spot. A tank shot does just as well as a bullet

[Darkstorm995]

my bad thats what i meant to put up there i was talking to like 5 other people at the moment
