Spyder MR1 - Game Model...

Alternus

Firstly, I'd like to say hello to everyone
I'm new to the community. Got into modelling about six months ago

The Spyder MR1 is my third model that I have been modelling from scratch.
Kinda new to Polymodelling, trying to learn it and improve so If you guys have any good tips I'd be glad to recieve them!

Current polycount is 3,960 and thats without the top area where you put the paintball rounds. I'm also having some trouble modeling that area, not sure why.

Some reference pictures + Wireframe pictures, everyone is free to say whatever is needed :poly124:

The barrel seems to be a bit small in comparison to the rest of the marker. Here's a decent picture of how big the barrel should be. As far as the edge flow goes, it looks ok, but I'm not a weapon modeler so someone else might have some crits on that for you.

It seems you have quite a few extra polys that arn't needed. I would go back through and try get rid of what you can. The shape is looking good though. Like bighoss metioned, the barrel is a little small.



i highlighted a few areas with unneeded polys

I agree brandoom. You may try checking whether vertices are necessary instead of poly's too. I find it easier to do so.

Another thing if I may. I know you've only been modeling for a short period, but maybe instead of rendering a wireframe, just take a screengrab of your model with wireframe on shaded. Would help us see your edges a little better.

Thanks everyone for your responses, I'll try & take care of everything you mentioned.

BigHoss, for your request... Here's the wireframe:
