[Hunter]

Not one of my best.

There's errors that need fixing still. A bigger at back and in middle. And some smoothing needs fixing.
Triangles: 2366

[Heathen]

like it

[Inferno]

I think the carbines... umm battery thingy is too small. It looks kinda tiny compared to the rest of the gun. Only thing I have to nitpick about. Looks good.

[Hunter]

You have a point, thanks. :)

[Masterz1337]

Looking good. It can be alot better though.

[Gwunty]

triangulation:(

[Bad Waffle]

I'm going to have to stereotypically disagree with masters on this one, i actually think this is one of your best. The only problem--right in the very back, the 'butt' of the carbine, those straight-edge polygons should have a bit more curvature instead of being 90 deg angles.

i agree with this statement.

[Heathen]

that whole area looks ugly to me.

The edge turn tool : USE IT!

The back is all kinds of screwed up. Smoothing... I won't even try to point out all the messups. Don't just use auto-smooth; actually plan things out.

[Hunter]

I didnt use auto smooth. Lol. I will fix, thanks.

And I stereotypically am not going to disagree with someone because they said it :).

Hunter, can we get a FP persepctive shot of the gun? From the 3p shots it looks like the FP view will be boring, and that's the most important part of a model in my opinion.

Edit: oops, forgot to smooth end of it. Will fix XD

[Pooky]

I think good texture work and normals could really make that shine

[Masterz1337]

I would suggest making sure some of your edges arn't so harsh. It's going to detract from how sleep the gun looks and will divert attnetion durring animations. Also, the clip seems to large, and it's interescting the gemetry around it. The casing around the clip also needs to be alot sleeker and smooth. We made the mistake of not doing that with the CMT carbine and it irks me all the time. Also as you said, the barrel needs smoothing.

Feel free to draw any inspiration or ideas from ours. It should give you a better idea of what I meant for some of the crit I had for your model.

[Pooky]

I actually kind of like the harsh edges on this one, just make it silver and call it a Brute Carbine :p

Though in some cases is does definitely need to be smoothed out

[Hunter]

Thanks Masterz, im of to bed now, I will fix when I come back on PC and post new pictures. It was pretty rushed, took roughly 6 hours. And you can't really make something look good when rushing Lol. And that is nice Carbine in SPv2 :P

[Heathen]

Masterz plugging his thing.

[Roostervier]

And I stereotypically am not going to disagree with someone because they said it :).Little do you know that he only disagreed because he truly disagreed.

Also, aside from the already mentioned errors (especially the curvature and smoothing), nice model. Now that you're taking crit nicely, you're starting to make some pretty good stuff.

I copied the back bit on the one that Dane textured btw :) Because it looks cool.
Better?

And you forgot to add a big fucking spike on it. :cool:

Better, but still not great.

[Hunter]

Will fix, cheers. teh lag.

[Masterz1337]

Also, make the lower part of the rim around the clip smoother at the bottom, and I think along with lags suggestions this will turn out really good.

[Hunter]

Where about do you mean Masterz?

And any better now? It looks like there are more errors down the bottom but I think that's the Omni shadow.

[Inferno]

Looking good hunter. This with a skin would be really nice.

[Hunter]

Crap, 7070 Triangles XD

It has shot up for some reason. Lol And thanks wanksta

[Roostervier]

Definitely should not be 7k tri's. Should be about half that for what you've got.

[Hunter]

True. I will have a look at what can go, I have an idea why its that high.

[teh lag]

If it's from the omi, take shadowing off. I want to be able to see it normally.

-Make the lower grip a bit thicker
-Make the inside of the grab-hole-things their own smoothgroup. ~90 degree angles that are smooth just look strange.
-Please, please, PLEASE use edge-turn to fix some of your quads.

[Hunter]

Mintage, Will fix tomorrow, going bed in a min. Just rendering a 2000 x *Something* image of all my weapons Lol.

[Roostervier]

If you locked your ratio at 1.333 in max, then it's 2000x1500 iirc.

[Hunter]

It isnt exactly 2000, just roughly, 2****.

Anyway, I will fix tomorow, nighty night.

[Corndogman]

Where about do you mean Masterz?
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/Carbine_7.jpg

I see something in the back right underneath the hole closest to the back. Looks like bad triangulation maybe, or could just be the render, check it out.

[Disaster]

Damn looks pretty good. Theres a few things like lag said. If you don't mind me asking, could have an attempt at texturing this when its done?

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii256/echo216/carbine2.png
Carbine I did for h3mt. Not my model and its hdoan's normal maps.

[Masterz1337]

Hit me up on AIM tommarow.

[NuggetWarmer]

Disaster, this is for H3MT. :|

[Advancebo]

Disaster, this is for H3MT. :|

ahem


[16:48] =Ω=[»ШМ«][mmt]Advancebo: so that means pretty much anything u model halo related belongs to h3mt?
[16:48] =Ω=[»ШМ«][mmt]Advancebo: halo 3 related
[16:48] [H3MT]{TLS}Hunter: No, What ever models I say they can use belong to them.
[16:48] [H3MT]{TLS}Hunter: :)
[16:49] [H3MT]{TLS}Hunter: I aint having that crap by what ever I make belongs to them

[Disaster]

Then I guess either me or Doan is going to texture it. Doan makes caveman skins though D: so I guess its my job :)

[Invader Veex]

Then I guess either me or Doan is going to texture it. Doan makes caveman skins though D: so I guess its my job :)

What about me? >:|

[NuggetWarmer]

Advancebo, Hunter is on the team, so why wouldn't this be for H3MT.

No, that isn't a question.

[onotix]

What about me? >:|
what about you?

[Invader Veex]

I am a skinner in h3mt.

[Advancebo]

Forza Win

[Heathen]

I suggest deleting that post before you get hit by the shit that hit the fan.
People dont like being compared like that.

Especially when you say it that way... :/

Just sayin.

[Masterz1337]

I'll trade Dano to H3Mt for 6,000 dollars.

[Inferno]

I lul'ld so hard I wish I could rep you.

[Heathen]

nice parody.

I hate professional sports.

[onotix]

I'll trade Dano to H3Mt for 6,000 dollars.
ill give you 20 thousad dollars just to use him for 3 minuets.

[NuggetWarmer]

But you don't have 20,000 dollars. :)

[onotix]

dont tell him yet.

[Heathen]

Then your stupid.

You do know that 20000 > 6000 and that 3 minutes < forever?

Besides....Masterz would take it and run. He has clones of Dano with c4 cores for such occasions.

[Inferno]

Shhhh! Your not supposed to talk about the :conspiracy:

[onotix]

the conspiracy is a lie :O

[Masterz1337]

Don't spam it guys, even though It's my fault for starting it in the first place.

[Invader Veex]

I'll trade Dano to H3Mt for 6,000 dollars.

Honestly, in my opinion ( not the whole team's), no thanks.

[Heathen]

Don't spam it guys, even though It's my fault for starting it in the first place.

respectable post is respectable

I like this carbine. I however have no eye for models and cant tell if something is good or not at this stage. Looks excellent to me :/

Agreed, this is turning into a great model. Seen a few anomaly's but keep going at it. When you've gotten to the end product then we can go over some fixes.

[Hunter]

Thanks, and as for the H3MT topic.

I have stated many times before that I am going to model a full Halo 3 weapon set. The models I make are for me. But H3MT can use it because I am in their team. And disaster, doan and IV could try and texture it if they want to.

I would prefer Dano though :P But that's not going to happen.

[Hunter]

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/Carbine_9.jpg

Better?

Triangles: 2358

It wasnt 7K last time, I don't know where that come from Lol.

[Heathen]

Looks great to me :D

[KiLLa]

Still recreating the same weapons eh?
I see not much has changed really on the halo scene, still makin shit from the next title, ina previous title..haha
anywho, the model looks good...but I suggest working on your smoothing groups a bit, other than that, good job

[Disaster]

I am a skinner in h3mt.
How could I have forgotten veex? Sawy :p

Hunter that model looks Ace mate :awesome:

[Roostervier]

2k tri's sounds much better. Now just fix all your smoothing. d:

[Hunter]

ARRR. File corrupt...

Good thing I save a backup every so often because this has happened before on the Halo 3 Elephant :P

o sup KiLLa.

[jngrow]

Haha, how the hell was that 7k polys? Looks good dude, I'm not pro enough to tell you what's wrong with it, but keep up the good work.

[nick3d]

I agree with the smoothing groups. You need to concentrate a little bit more on which faces/lines you are smoothing, and there are still some smoothing errors which i can see now that i am looking at it on the comp, theres a dodgy triangle which has made a smoothing error, but other than that good model

[Hunter]

Circle it Nick. Like I told you earlier, the smoothing groups are set right now so that it makes the right shape.

[nick3d]

Cant be arsed to be honest lol, ill show you in col on your phone if you want, aint anything to worry about its probs just me being picky lol
