BTW the lines you see are the grooves of the plastic (yes its made of plastic).

the handle looks wierd but I guess you wont see it in-game anyway.

Also the smoothing on the butstock looks wierd + that its to flat.. but you will only see that in 3rd person view to... nice model overall but I hate when people dont throw som extra polys onto the magazine to make it rounder.. so please do that... other than that its relly nice I think.. a good model of a ugly rifle <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Oh and if you have polys to spare add details cuz flat skinned on details is not as good looking as 3 dimensional once <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

keep it up

CaptainChet · January 2004

the scope looks a bit to short maybe you should make it about 10%-20% longer

I say use a ref picture and scale it after that.. if its like the ref but looks short.. than it should be short.

Oh and also Chet. just cuz its a model for HL2 it doesnt mean that you can use too many polys sure they consists of more polys than the hl once but the main thing making them look better is the much more advanced rendering in the HL2 engine so use the polys wisely.. or make a mod for super computers <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Make a low poly NS version, and I have some concepts for you to look over...

CaptainChet · January 2004

Duno about the low poly NS part, but show me teh concepts <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
My AIM sn is cptnchet if u need to contact me. Or ilink109@earthlink.net for MSN

Bijiy · January 2004

Okay, I'm gonna code a simple page tonight with all the contact info so we can get a small network going between the TR team.

CaptainChet · January 2004

Sounds good to me. BTW are we gonna get a website?

esuna · January 2004

Hate to tell you this though, i think you're aiming a bit too high with the polycount.

According to the <a href='http://collective.valve-erc.com/' target='_blank'>VERC</a> the polygon budget for weapon view models is around 2000, including hands. While the engine probably will handle high poly models, don't bother wasting your time making ridiculously high poly models, only to find out later that the hours of hard work you put into it were for nothing.

Bijiy · January 2004

I don't know, I just got a channel on Gamesnet though. (#Township_Rebellion on irc.gamesnet.net)

BigBull · January 2004

I talked to owen about hosting.

Nothing final.

CaptainChet · January 2004

Chubbieboi · January 2004

CaptainChet · January 2004

We'll see, but at this moment, i dunno. Im in the process of optimizing, so ill have a final polycount in a couple days.

AKA: gona have to make it low poly, it will look better with hl2's little goodies

CaptainChet · January 2004

plz, dont tell me what to do with my model in terms of it's polycount. Really not helping. lol only Owen and Bijiy can tell me that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

BigBull · January 2004

dont be a ****.

Why did you even post it without preparing yourself for contructive critisicm.

DOnt post and then decline rudly comments on it.

CaptainChet · January 2004

That wasnt constructive criticism. That was kinda telling me what to do, and how does it help the model? Im NOT releasing it for NS as of now, and hl2 can handle 4000 polies.

Jamil · January 2004

Don't post fancy Brazil renders if you want good criticism.
