Hey, while catching up on TCW, I saw this pistol and thought it would be fun to make.

Thanks, looking at another reference picture, I think I missed some details, so maybe expect a 1.1 with those added details!

Working on the rifle now!

Ooh...slick. I'd give it five stars

I was gonna say lessen the amount of white scratches, but then again not sure if anyone notices them in-game......

Likewise, nice job weaponsman!

Hehe. Just what i was going to say. You love to add a tonne of scratches to your textures, don't you RK . Apart from that it looks awesome!

Yup, trying out a few new styles of grunge for my textures.

Not really, this is the first model where I've experimented with scratchers in this manner, usually I just put some subtle ones on the hard edges and one or two on the body.

If you think this has a lot of scratches, you should see the other guy....... Release or no?

Very nice pistol, Rouge.

Release.

Yes, please

It's good that you're working on making your own textures, but having a 1024*1024 texture for a (relatively) low-rez pistol model is pretty uncalled-for. You can be a lot more efficient with the space you have (lots of unused area on the texture itself) and there's no call for that level of detail for such a small model. You could do this with a 256*256 texture (sixteen times smaller!) without much problem.

I usually texture all of my models with 2048*2048 textures, and scale them down to 1024*1024 for the release, that way if people want the large texture with more detail, they can use it, but if they want a smaller file size, they can just scale it down to 512*512 or 256*256.

I'm still working on creating better UV maps, but with Milkshape it is very hard because I can only UV one thing at a time and I can't see the UV's of what I already laid out.

You're modeling with Milkshape?

Why?

You could replicate this pistol, or make other works of similar complexity, much easier in XSI from the sound of it.

I'm currently working in MS3D because I don't have the time to learn another program, such as Blender.

great job this will be in BFSM.
