Wow! You are doing amazing stuff!

In case that you use it for first person too. You shouldn't reduce it, simply add LODs.

You could sell this gun seperately! Start a gun shop in Second Life to earn some extra money!

hey thanks pappenheimer! Does second life let you use outside software to make the models?

Here's the reduced version of the model, I trimmed it down to a total of 1270 polygons from 3k. It was important to keep the silhouette of the gun distinct while reducing polys. The outline of the gun is the most important because thats its "character".

Even though lots of definition was lost, such as sharp rims and ridges on the front grip area, the texture should be able to pick up the slack, and the normal map should add a bit more:

I textured the gun. I have problems working with inorganic models and my tablet. Its hard to draw straight lines and stuff, and in the end the gun texture looks like a painting, although it fits with the style of the characters Im going to make:

KEITH IS READY TO ROCK


seeing him actually hold the gun is encouraging.

He is cool! GO Keith

Keith is funny But still cool

Amazing stuff, I watched the video a few times, it is quite entertaining!
btw. cool style in the combination of test objects and some nice stuff like the lasers.

Wow. Great work.

Wow, that's some awesome stuff.. Care sparing the bone/rig adjustements code?
Would be awesome to be implemented to our engine, since we already have bone animation (rigs exported from Blender)


Looking forward on this, this is may become another "Lived"-scale thread

awesome !

Its a nice modell.
Great job
