Tis pretty good, but you gotta show a wireframe now, remember?

Sweet ghost! You should definitely put it ingame.
thanks it took me problably about 6 or so hours. I will attempt to texture it, but since I'm not that good it will problably become an epic fail. I can't use ZE (vista
) so I guess I could test it on a space map instead... worth a shot

His pic is fine, it shows the edge flow and that's all that matters.

Gotcha, so we don't actually hafta use wireframe, we jsut hafta at least be in polygon/edge/point select mode? Good, cuz my computer's acting up and wireframe blends in with the my background color.

the wireframe is only needed in complex models like character models or uber-sweet weapons i think. Don't think we need it for every object...

Wireframe pics are a requirement for everyone from here on, so if you post a pic of your model in shaded or textured be sure to post a wireframe or wireframe on shaded pic also, this not only proves it to be your work and avoids plagiaristic accusations but others will also learn from your work by examining edge flow, and learning is the important thing here because the more you learn the better you'll get.
yeah they are

How are the wheels a waste? Are you suggesting that I remove them, because I think they make the model look complete.
I might change the texture a little, but I don't think it looks
that bad.

Polies. He means there are wasted polies on the wheels. I can see several ways to reduce poly count on them.

no by all means do not remove them. but if you look at the little white lines on them, those are the polies and there are a lotta them. if you go to modfiy>polymsh>filter polygons then that will sortof "merge" the unnecessary polies. and for the texture, for not UVing youre model (just allpying a texture to the whole thing) i think it looks pretty good.
(if anything is "off" in my description plz tell me im still learning lol)

He's talking about the extra circle inside the base of each cylinder for the wheels and the extra circle around the center of the lateral surface for the cylinders. This adds 10*2 tris*2 bases/wheel*10 wheels + 10*2 tris*lateral surface/wheel*10 wheels = 600 extra tris on the wheels alone. Your other cylinders have similar problems. The merging polygon method works, but can mess up the model if you do it too much.

Yeah, I know the anatomy is all wrong et cetera, but it was a 15 minute model so don't complain...

@Elfie - That's an awesome model. Do you mean to release it as an .msh? Or whatever the XSI file extension would be?
@YJJ - :Q___
You never cease to amaze.
