WIP - Tippmann ProCarbine
This is a project I started in order to use it for a sort of tutorial for the paintball gun. I wanted to do an explosive view of all the parts and I am currently going through and modeling everything piece by piece. I'm still working on it, but wanted feedback on parts of it due to the mesh not coming out clean enough for my taste. I'm still working on it and will keep this thread up to date, but would like some help when it comes to my mesh and any ideas on how to clean it up and make it look proper. thanks for any assistance or comments .

for all of the holes and such I think you should add support loops around them before you smooth. Also it will probably help to run your edges around the model so you don't have n-gons. You should have a cleaner smooth result if you keep it quads as best as you can.
I'm guessing you mean by adding in edges to go all the way around so that each vertex has something more to go to. I was hoping minimize my use of poly's as much as possible, but I guess with circles and such more is needed for a clean mesh.
Thanx for the help
as for the nostalgia I'm with you its was my first gun and still have her round and in working condition. I'm looking to upgrade it into a better gun when money permits, but I've taken her apart so many times I figured this would be a fun project for me to focus on.
