scar H

snowblack

Well ive been modeling for about half a year and i thought it would be good for me to post a model ive just started.

I dont like modeling army guns.. I prefer modeling si-fi weapons etc. The main reason im modeling this scar h is because it looks ok and doesnt have that many complicated parts.

So far ive finished the blockout and started on the high poly.:)
Im using max 2010 but I think im ging to download max 2013 again :P

This is what i've got so far:

I think its working now

not a bad start, it looks king of stubby but its hard to tell from that one angle.
the biggest concern i have at the moment is how tight your edges are, most of them wont transfer well when you bake

rockguy

I think is strating well , but I agree with the person above the angle makes it a little bit difficult to compare the model with reference.

Small update on the scar H. Done a few things. (i know the iron sight thing at the front is realy sharp) Its looking ok atm. please give me feedback guys

I downloaded max 13 last night

snowblack

Sry but for some reason max has destroyed the file and i dont have any copys of the scar h. I hope to be makeing a new thread, of a cool concept piece i found online Will be up later tomorow

Did you check your Autoback folder? There might be a recoverable file in there.

snowblack

Broadway: I checked there as soon as the origonal file stopped working Hate it when this happens


Oh well, i've started on another weapon. This time its a si-fi smg .

The design looks great and I its good work. However for one can see the wire-frame hard to tell just exactly how detailed it is. Looks good to me though; however is your like me it could always be better. Nevertheless looks like good solid modeling.:)

oeps sorry hope this works ?:P

Gordonhayton: sry but i cant as the max file stopped working. I was'nt very far through with the high poly modeling anyway. Im just glad it stop working now rather than screwing up later on. From now on im always going to save a copy of my work Just incase this happens again.

I think it had something to do with the max i was using (2013) but now im using max 11. Its working fine atm so hope it stays that way.

Terry1337: Thanks for the link. Theres awesome stuff in there.

Like i say. I'm now doing a si-fi smg. The blockouts looking awesome but I'll post pictures of the high poly tonight or tomorow. Just when i've got time as im still at academy, which doesnt give me as much time to model. I seem to have a never ending supply of homework. :P

cheers for posting and hope you all follow my smg

Just a quick tip, since it seems you have been working in one file:

-Make sure to sometimes use the incremental save, don't keep saving on the same file
-Get a dropbox account, and everytime you stop working for the day, throw the latest max file on your dropbox.

Maybe obvious, but just mentioning, it really saves a lot of headaches.

Looking forward to the SMG, have seen the concept a lot, and people talking about doing it, but never actually seen anyone complete it (or I missed it)

snowblack

Ye, i've got a dropbox account but i never use it. That sounds like a smart idea Will do that for the smg as its starting to look awesome and i dont want to lose this max file :P

Cheers.
