I always thought that the topic was about models.. but i guess some people are curious as to how they work.

Anyway, i present you with the M7 Assault Rifle. Some parts of the model are still undergoing improvements, and poly reduction on some places. I'm sure some of you will recognise (Fiodis ) where this weapon is from.
Ingame:

wow, this is an awesome model, i love it

nice model!
i wonder why you made all the edges rounded though

It is excellent , i really like the design .

Because it is more futurist / sci-fi , maybe .

He is referring to all the extra polys added that you wouldn't really see a ton ingame, but don't mind hi poly weapon models, I think its good.

Thanks guys

There isn't much of a good reason to it but, i did it to make it look better, without the beveled sides, it looked really blocky.

nice weapon but you schould rework the first perspective

because of the stretching on the horizintal faces?
i agree, its really noticeable in 1stperson.

and the arms

You mean the clone trooper's arms ? I am sure he will change that .

Yeah, i totally agree. I've got just the perfect texture to fix that too

Cool! What's the exact poly count? How much can bf2 take? It's kind of unfitting in a ww2 mod though I'm kidding around.

The rifle looks great, but I think you should roughen up the texture. Right now, you have just retained the perfect/pristine nature of the concept art. (yeah, I know what you used. Look at my avatar ) I'm not saying get rid of the photo source completely, but make it look more realistic. Add scratches here and there, maybe a little grunge stuff. Please get rid of the horizontal stretching on the top and bottom of the weapon, and it'll be pretty much perfect

Nice job dude, looks very accurate.

Cool! What is it?
EDIT
Never mind..Just read what it is on your model thread.

Thats no moon....

added some texture for more pics see my wip

It looks nice , but post in your 3D model thread OR here .

Agreed with Lephenix.

@Anakin: You already have a WIP thread; by the rules of the first post of this topic, please keep your WIP updates out of this thread.
