[QUOTE=Tw34k;34700968]Decided to give modeling another shot after a few years..
Isn't she cute? I call her smokey. :v:

The poly distribution is pretty ridiculous. The larger cylindrical geometry has 10 sides and the tiny insets for the fags to rest also has 10 (although it's only a half cylinder). It should have 2, maybe 3, sides really, especially if it was going in game.

Thanks for the comments, I didn't really expect anyone to take my carve lesson model serious but I am glad you shed some light for improvements. I really am as green as it gets with modeling so bear with my postings of practice pieces.
And just to verify, you're saying I should make the carved grooves use less sides but everything else looks ok?
Normal map, needs more detail like to the cloth and leather for jacket.

Are you going to do other characters from the series?
how do eyes work in the source engine is the eye a texture that moves or is it a object that moves ?
[QUOTE=shadowsX;34730578]how do eyes work in the source engine is the eye a texture that moves or is it a object that moves ?[/QUOTE]
I'd guess it's the texture that moves, as I don't think the valve biped has an eye bone, though I could be wrong.

Its the pockets on the jacket that make them look wide... I guess I should size them down

Bask in my atrocious topology.
I have to ask, how would you load that? Wouldn't it be a pain in the ass with the wooden magazine guard?
Or is that whole thing supposed to be part of the magazine itself?

who cares? it's cool concept art.
livewire that looks really good, with that blue glow it reminds me of the plasma rifle from doom 3

That's exactly what someone said in the Digital Art thread :v:
I'm considering redesigning that bit because it's so ridiculous.

That looks really nice. If you're still working on colors, maybe consider looking at the K-Volt from Crysis 2? I really liked the way that gun looked, personally:
[img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110318210339/crysis/images/thumb/f/f4/K-Volt.jpg/830px-K-Volt.jpg[/img]
The K-Volt looks more military than "sciencey" though. I'm not sure which direction you had in mind. I definitely [B]wouldn't[/B] recommend any kind of camo on your gun. Crysis 2's weapons are very unimagined to be quite honest. They're all based on real-world guns. I'm pretty sure the K-Volt in particular was based on the Kriss Super V SMG.
You could also look at the Arc Projector from Mass Effect 2:
[img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110414183161/masseffect/images/1/1f/Arc_projector_sm.jpg[/img]
It's darker and very large, but I think it's got more of the "sciencey" look. Definitely a bit on the grungy side though (ME2 was "grungy" in general).

Something I started yesterday:
[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37546036/TACTICOOL.png[/IMG]
decided to keep things simple and not do a high-low poly for this one, so I guess this is the "low" poly
It'll probably have something like 3.5-4K polys once I've optimized it.
Besides some smoothing errors, is there anything I should work on before I unwrap it?

Deliberately stylised, I presume? If it is then it looks great, If you're going to use it for a viewmodel then I'd suggest adding some more edges to the curves at the back, seeing as that's what the player will see most of.

Hmm, I hadn't gone for any sort of stylization, really as long as it doesn't look out of place in CSS I'd be happy
And I've put in a couple more edge loops at the back there, thanks
The SCAR is going well, nothing is final everything is a WIP ect...

I don't think that would look right in CSS, like I said the dimensions look quite cartoonish. I suppose with a realistic texture it may work, but a couple of things would need adjusting- that acog sight should be a little wider, and the foregrip would look better if it was thinner.
If you're making CSS viewmodels, you have to take into consideration the shitty weird FOV.
[QUOTE=A big fat ass;34770932]If you're making CSS viewmodels, you have to take into consideration the shitty weird FOV.[/QUOTE]
Never really thought about it like that. Would you recommend making a viewmodel with the FoV in mind, then a separately modeled one for the world model? I've always just modelled true to scale and then optimised as needed.
