Good Luck in your GunZes Mates.


It wouldn't hurt if you press the like button if your using my item in your gunz.

I think it's obvious to why they didn't like, keep working on blender before you decide to release things, you'll prolly get flames for releasing bad work.

Good start for beginners. But the texture is low quality

[bulli10]

Looking Good i wanna see it in game some time :)

[iDelta123]

I don't like it, texture is bad, model from design is also bad.
Need some work

[OceanDeep]

How about downloading it and seeing it on your own monitor...

Also I'm just new at this whole blender thing.

People love to criticize without helping, that's apparent in almost every thread. OP, you should just expect it.

Anyways I'll give you a few pointers.
#1 Jpg is NOT used for 3D meshes period, idc if it is your first model or your last, it is a bad choice. A better choice would be DDS since it is loaded directly by the video card rather then being uncompressed by the CPU, loaded into the ram, then loaded into the GPU.

#2 Using a render or a picture as a texture is not a good idea. Although it is done fairly often in this section (/facepalm) it would be frowned upon anywhere else you would go.

#3 Topology is very important in the rendering of meshes. To give you an example of how topology effects the efficiency of graphical rendering think of a deck of cards, it is easier to pick up a flat row rather then 52 individual cards laying on the ground. An example of correct shotgun topology can seen here. Just work a little harder on vertex loops rather then getting the least amount of vertices possible.

#4 Remember to rename your mesh INSIDE the elu as well as the actual elu name. At the moment yours is named Cube.002, rename it desert_shotgun or something of the like. Also remember to keep spaces out of names, always use underscores or leave them out entirely (this also needs to be remembered when making the elu name, eg Desert_Shotgun.elu).

Thanks for your advice.

I'm applying all your pointers on the next release of an item,I hope you will be glad to hear what I came up with next time.

i like it :D
how do you make weapons o.o?

I cant teach you but youtube can.
Try finding some YouTuBe tutorials about your questions about blender and slowly you will learn.
Making items and learning blender doesn't take weeks,it takes months.

Use blender to make weapons & stuff.
On Topic; I don't really like the color but the size is okay.

Size doesn't matter when its still .blend cause when its on .elu,all weapons must be in the same size o-o

[Tiretism]

It doesn't necessarily have to be the same size, the handle just hast to be in the proper position.

[Zujirawa]

Look like its normal SG to me.

For weapons it doesn't matter that the mesh is called (it is easier tho).
