Haze was terrible.

WHAT THE FUCK? What do you mean man. I mean, I just said get back ontopic. Just because he is an older member does not mean he can break the rules.

HL2 citizens have the faceposing range of a brick. It's either very subtle or they look like they just stepped out of The Idiots of Garry's Mod. The only characters who have tolerable faceposing are the main ones, particularly Alyx. I don't want to ruin the picture with a grin that would put a chimpanzee to shame or an angry face that looks like it just stepped out of Loony Tunes, so I keep it fairly neutral.

That came out wrong, What I was trying to say is that the detail on it doesn't look like something that would be on a spartan. And it seems to cluttered. I don't see much wrong on the UMP. Would you care to clarify?

Wait, is that what you used for your modeling reference? Never use something that low-res. Also, please tell me you have other references too. A few side shots and several from different perspectives work best as you can properly work out proportions and such.

Here, about a minute on google:


It's a tad blurry, but it's higher res, and I can make out some things that I couldn't in your reference image. Just go out and search for more pics of it.

I have other pics. http://hkpro.com/ump.htm

And just so you know, thats the low res model. I'm working on the one for the normals bake right now.

K, was making sure you had better references than that pic you showed. Anyway, I realize it's the low poly model, but if it doesn't look like an ump, then it doesn't. I'm not around guns often enough and I don't model them often enough to be able to tell you what's wrong with your model. Just wait for snaf to reply or something.

A base I made just the other day. I want to know what I could do more to it, like the top part. Any advice?

It's too thick, too boxy, and the random jaggedness makes no sense. Forerunner architecture is elegant, that's not.
