It looks pretty realistic, well done! Hope i can do something like that in the future when I get the hang of Cinema4D

Wow, very cool. Totally different of course, since mine was (far too) high poly and yours is a very accurate low poly.

This was also pretty much my first thing created in 3D, I'd forgotten it was in my gallery.

Do you do much work for games/mods? I've always wanted to get into that area.

Yep... I work in the game industry. Like I said in the other post... I'll help you with what I can... 1st tip. Learn to Normal Map. Do you use Max or Maya? I use both.

Haha, theres the problem. I use Cinema4D. I'm a tad too poor to use max or maya, but hope to try 'em one day.

Maya is free. well the Personal Learning Edition is. (Maya PLE 7). if youve got an FTP, i can give you the install. You can get a serial # from autodesk (the owner of the maya program).

The only ftp I have is 50mb, I'm guessing PLE is much bigger than that. Can I download it from somewhere? I'd be pretty keen to give Maya a shot.

Are there any limitations to the PLE?

Thats pretty nice! Are you going to model the safety at the back of the slide?

L-X In reply to BaroqueMana [2006-03-20 01:22:09 +0000 UTC]

Heh, to be honest I totally forgot about modeling the hammer at the rear. Darn my low attention span! All I wanted to do was get onto my next project.

Cheers for pointing it out!

Nice Nice

Any plans on a proper render with realistic metal surfaces?

I'm still a beginner really, been modeling for a few months now. I learn most of my modeling techniques by experimenting, so as you can see I'm not the best with textures, surfaces, and such. I've just learnt to UV map, but I'm horrible at it (my textures I export are always stretched and strange ), if you know of any good rendering tutorials or have any good tips, I'd love the help!

Nice work. I like the way you have created the model in such a way that you can "pose" it (for want of a better word), showing it with the gun loaded, of with an empty clip, a nice touch.
