Near-finished revolver model

n88tr

So I FINALLY figured out how to make my revolver cylinder... it looks decent enough def better than my previous attempt.

My problem is I know nothing about lighting and rendering. I just take screen caps and crop them.

How would I set up a lighting scene to get this sort of grayed effect??



I'm looking ideally for a step-by-step guide so my dumb ass can understand it. I use maya modeling software.

Thank you so much for helping me model my cylinder model, I learned a lot there.

skylight , f10 light tracer.

Look see I don't get that.

I can use a sky light but I don't know where to put it, what color it should be? etc etc but then I don't understand what you mean by f10 light tracer.

I've been adding details here and there, cleaning up frame some and then I decided to clean up the compensator ports on the end of the barrel. Then I decided to push up some faces on the barrel to make the front sight all in one bit... extruded faces but now I have a black vertex that won't move?? I can select all other verts around it but not that one and I cannot move it? Why is this happening? Thanks.

Nevermind... google search fixed it.

I hope to finish this up soon and show it off with a proper render soon! Thank you for all of your help guys I know for sure I'd still be a long way back without your help!

EDIT: Can view some images here

I guess you solved it, but if you have the option "preserve UV" checked in the move-tool option that could happen to..

fooling around with barrel length on the Rude Revolver .600

What kind of sight is that? like a red-dot sight? it looks compared to other parts.

a red dot thing I think. It's become part of the revolver now I think. I'd like to make a smaller one though, one not so fat lol.
