Dwarf's Shotgun

[exercitus]

Vertices : 1206
Faces : 2232

Too much, but I don't care.
I modeled it, and if it looks familiar, I used Aimed's unfinished projects.

NOTICE : The gun in the pictures isn't the same as the one you are (maybe) going to add to your server. I have formatted my computer due to virusses and lost all my files. I was too lazy to redo it with everything blablabla.

round off your edged so its not cardboard

[exercitus]

What do you mean with that? Adding more vertices and make it look a bit round-ish?

[mcsic]

Yeah but keep it under 3000.

[exercitus]

'could not order loop'
Too bad.

[NarutoUzamaki]

It's pretty good but round of the edges, right now the part you modeled with cube looks blocky.

"Else i'll cry" LOL. But yeah,great job ;)

Because it's a CUBE. Yes, amazing, a cube being blockky.
Egh, how will I round off the egdes? Apply smooth?

The .dds file? =(

[Wucas]

under specials (hotkey w) there is bevel. Apply a small amount of beveling and you should be fine

Lastly remember do not use the "Unwrap via View" or whatever its called... this is meant for tests in my opinion, use the smart unwrap if you are using blender as your unwrapping program. Yes this means you have an annoying amount of time spent finding where the faces are located, but in the end it is worth it.

Yeah but keep it under 3000.

You stolezor my statistics >:D

Use the JPG file. GunZ is compatible with that. ._.

@Betrayed, Beveling fux up my weapon. D:

you have to do it very minutely (like 1.001). I use the extrude and scale method myself, i wish i could show you on here, but it would be hard to explain

Do not use JPG, but rather PNG or TGA, due to the fact that they have alpha channels.Photoshop always fcks up my dds files, so i prefer TGA/PNG anyways.

(Honestly TGA [Targa] is the best due to it being able to be compressed)

[exercitus]

Using 1.001 still fux it up. Thanks for the tip about the texture format. You're like my sensei (hope I spelled it right). Lol, thanks.

If you have time, can you show me how to use the extrude-scale method? I tried it on my own, still looks like cardboard.

[Wucas]

well as of now my video card is killed, im on this computer that has like 512 mb of ram and a 128 mb video card (aka i would die), but if you wait till saturday (hopefully) my parts from newegg to fix my computer will be in xD. Then i will just make a tutorial for all, along with some of my other techniques that will help reduce polly count, and highten ingame performance

[exercitus]

Oh, thanks. I'll wait.
