here is my first 3d gun

im really interested in meshing, skinning and animating the second gun
im not 100% satisfied with the gun though, for some reason it doesnt look perfect

if you have any ideas on how i can improve it, that would be great

poly count is like 650 btw

edit-i cant edit the title :|, i was going to include another model but i dont like it much

needs detail on more than one axis, but looking good

you definently have some underlying talent, i believe with some more practice you could be really well. What you might want to do is check out an already made pistol model in flatshade mode to check out how other people make theres, you know, get a feel for how to position certain parts of the gun. You have the profile view down pact, but now you need to work on the depth of the gun, because really all this looks like is a chunk of wood in the sillioette of a gun. A damned fine one yes, but needs depth and more demensions. I suggest finding some tutorials and definently keeping it up.

i only showed one angle, the front looks okay too

it has a rounded front towards the bottom

i wish i would have grouped it better, i really just made one group instead of like 4

will be more annoying when animating

i try and take my time in all of my work, i have no real art talent in real life so this isnt that easy for me

ill keep working on it

it doesnt take much art talent to model. i have none, but i think im tolerably well at modelling. it mainly relies on how quick you catch on, and i think your doin better then most. my first model was when i took another model and stretched the crap out of it untill it looked like a completely new model. i didnt learn to actually model until about my 3rd model.

looks too smooth and blobby, do you have a picture or concept you modeled this off of?

other than that good job, nice first model, oh and have u gone thru some tuts? do that too

all i have done is about 5 maya tutorials, then i did this in gmax

i am going to make another model tommorow that is alot more detailed
i just modeled this off the top of my head using several guns as reference
