From where do you get that he's talking about tris? He said exactly what he meant (with an "r" added onto "serve" by accident) and he's absolutely correct. There are extra edges on the stock that should be deleted.

swbffmodels are not automatically triangulated but some converters triangulate them when converting msh to other formats

Elfie just saying but that picture of the Kar98k is false, the bolt is on the right side of the rifle not the left (and no World war 2 rifle that I know ever had the bolt on the left), and yes the stock should be much less squared than it is.

a rifle.
318 Tris Texture: Thanks to cgtextures for the wood texture.

Now that UV + texture work is good! Perfect wood image I must say.

ANDEWEGET- Wish my rifle was that good lol.

Okay, I think I fixed the problem but I'm not sure:
As apposed to before: I think you will be able to see the cylinders less when the skin is applied. Also- notice the bolt is on the other side this time, bobfinkl.

Now it looks like it's really starting to take shape, looks like all you have to do is make the bolt cycler and smooth out the bottom.

how do you make a texture that good and match your object?

if you mean me, 1. practice 2. stamp UV before you texture it.

what does stamp uv mean and how do you do it?

Okay, I made the bolt cycler and smoothed out the forestock and here is the result:

Close up of the bolt: Smoother forestock and far away view of the bolt: Now I've got to do the dreaded task of skinning it. I wish there was a texture projection that wouldn't require me to remap each section of the texture and make it all swirly.

If you don't want to texture it, I'll do it for ya.

A little detailed for this game, it's just a gun. Shouldn't have all that slight detail that isn't noticed in game, save it for the textures.

For when it gets put in-game, how are you going to work the whole reloading thing? Reload quickly after every shot, of just kickback?

I'm thinking of doing shot delay actually. The real bolt actions have a 5 round clip that is loaded into the gun, so I should use that for the reload. Otherwise It will just quickly reload after it ran out of ammo, which would really be a long slow reload.

I'm trying to make my first model in XSI and this is it, about 5 hours work maybe, LOL a lot of time to make because of it being my first model.

feedback as to how it looks would be cool!

And then make it extremely powerful! Oh, nevermind, then you'd have to remodel it to the Halo shotgun.

Fixed it. Looks nice, elfie.
