You're certainly better at creating textures from scratch than me, it looks pretty nifty, nice work! :D

You seem to like machine-pistols though :P

Sky, that looks awesome! I love Google Sketchup. It's a good program to start modelling with.

I do! I find SketchUp better than XSI for buildings but XSI is miles better at everything else.

Improved version of lamp (two lamps = two many polys) ...apparently textures get 'kept on', so added some simple ones. Still eeds more work.

A little out of date, dumped the ring thing around the bottom and fixed the line across the glass.

EDIT:

And a bunch of lamps (gonna remove the two 'in between' ones) on a simple bridge I made.

Hey, that looks really nice for a beginner.
I should try Sketchup sometime, I heard it has an extremely easy-to-use interface and is great for making buildings and props.

yeah i would recommend sketchup for any1 who cant use XSI. it is uber easy, the way i found out about it was that me and my friend found it on the school computers and had a competition to see who could make the coolest mansion. Mine was a giant version of my initials :lol: it was sweet.

Guys, keep it to XSI models, feel free to show Sketchup models in the other 3D modeling forum. This one's called "XSI ---> SWBF Series."
