yea i noticed that but dont go thinking i remodeled it. i made it from scratch but then had trouble with the scope therefore i used the br's. here's my reference model. i might add on to this model so that it looks more realistic.

Yeah, but really all it needs is a UV and bumpmap and it should be great.

-_- not to sound like a jerk but its more accurate than all the xm8s i saw in ur final model pack. not that i didnt like the models but they werent as accurate as ur latest xm8.

Oversmoothed, looks like there was a lot of primitives used... polygon wastage on the barrel and forend (which is a cylinder, but shouldn't be). Custom scope should be easy, try it.

Agreed about the Oversmoothing,

@RA1N, is that a picture from Halo 3 =? Because those sure do look like elites with banshees in the background...

No, it's from Halo Wars. It's a Halo RTS being made by Ensemble, of Age of Empires fame.

you might wanna fix the foregrip on the barrel because it looks more like a water tank than a xm8 at the end..

it's round when the foregrip should just have a bottom curve.. it looks like you just threw a cylinder in there... otherwise good.

keep in mind those were remodels >_>

i guess you're right falcon it all depends on the user.

ross is right it's oversmoothed too try using create face. works much better then primitives
