This is my first model, been working on it during the spare hours over the past few weeks. As of yet i still need to texture it and animate it, hoping that showing it to you guys may help motivate me :D

Also a quick question, will i be better off with an addon cape msh. rather than trying to make one myself?

I haven't posted anything here in a while, so I figured I'd post my implosion grenade model for my very first map.

Untextured, but I can't find a pic of it textured, so I might choose a DC-15A styled coloring for it.

Base texture, the final will come soon.

Looks not bad at all. Use google and texture sites too replace the 'complete' black texture in maybe, something like this:

I do that as well for some custom models. You can make the detail in one layer, and make this your background for example. Wazzie's Z6 was bland grey, but by retexturing it like this, it looked far better, without even editing uvs or the model ;)
