So, you have your output which should look like so:


Most people would stop at that and show the model--but they're forgetting that its key to show the wireframe to demonstrate the construction of the model and (if necessary) get help on triangulation, to lower poly count or to fix edgeloops (specifically on organics).

Here's how to do it.

Step 1: Select your entire model, and group it by using the menu at the top left (file, edit, tools, group)

Step 2: Clone (shift + move) and Rotate (e) your model 180 degrees, or roughly the amount you would need to see the complete opposite side.

Step 3: Hit prntscrn on your keyboard, and then open up MS paint. Paste (ctrl + v) and then crop the image to just the viewport.

Step 4. Save as .PNG to preserve quality.



This is how your first wireframe should turn out, and it is the best representation by far. But--you arent done yet. Say your model has points of interests or points of clumped geometry--like a nice scope, or etc. This is how you should set it up.



Step 5: upload, show, done!

You can also clone your model in place, put a wireframe material on the cloned object, push it out with the modifier push by 1 or 2 and you can do a nice render with all your materials using mental ray or scanline if you want.

No, because that looks ugly. The fuzzy AA doesnt work well in areas with clumped geometry.

For a gun are you alloud to have thigns not welded to eachother? Or is this your trademark in modeling like you said with the barrels? Or is this just a render only gun?

Only if you render it wrong.

yea the same rules don't apply to guns as they do a BSP. you don't really see all of the gun and you don't have to worry about falling through it or anything like that, like a BSP. so yeh its fine.

O snap I never knew that. That makes gun modeling alot less pain in the ass. I'm gonna have to model a gun now.

actually, what i do wit bsp's is make really nice render geometry, and then make another model that i call the collision. works out wonderful if you use the material symbols right.
